Audiobook Hosting

hutchmcnugget@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 32 points –

I want to get away from audible to save money and for privacy. I would like to keep buying audiobooks if possible and host them on my server to stream to my android phone.

I have an unraid plex server at home. Suggestions for hosting and streaming solutions?

Update: I ended up going with audiobookshelf. I love it so far and it does everything I need. More importantly (for me anyway) it's not reliant on a $17/mo audible subscription. Please reach out over DM if you find this post in the future and have trouble getting audiobookshelf to work on unraid!

Everyone loves audiobookshelf, but since you mentioned Plex, I thought I'd let you know that you can use Plex to host your audiobooks too.

Here's a guide:

I use Prologue for IOS to listen to them.

I have a plex setup too, using Prologue.

I never listen to audiobooks using Plex, and prologue manages listening state just fine for me.

I use an iphone, and this is my set up too. Does android have a prologue app?
