Tempus is phenomenal. I switched to navidrome on my server to use it. Chora is also good, and I use it on my TV (works well on any screen). If you don’t mind closed-source, Symphonum is excellent.

If you are using Jellyfin, it works well on PC, with Fintunes on mobile.

You can find a number of good apps for navidrome here. I quite like Strawberry, which is cross-platform. I use it locally for library management.

I connect everything with Tailscale, which may or may not work on your work network, depending on how locked down the network is. I never had an issue.

Anx reader syncs stats and position across devices in this way, but I don’t think it runs on the kobo reader.

Yes! This drives me crazy. I will sometimes go back and edit posts to add more info months later.

We have all been in a situation where we are looking for a very specific answer, and the answer only exists in one obscure forum from a decade ago that has the exact info we are looking for.

It’s hard enough to ensure lemmy’s long-term fidelity without people axing their own content.

I don’t get who this product is for in a universe where Jellyfin exists.

Not a lot you can do with phones unfortunately. You could set them up as basic fileservers using CopyParty or Syncthing. Don’t use it for anything critical - these are not backup solutions.

Set up Tailscale to access it outside your network.

I’ve been told that government auctions canbe a good source for cheap used PCs but I never had much luck there. I suspect that they get snatched up quickly and stripped for parts. Try eBay or Mercari?

Calibre Web Automated is a completely different project. I am liking it so far.

Some people have also suggested Kavita.

Okay, I found it. I was looking in the wrong place and going in circles instead of clicking through the documentation one screen at a time. How embarrassing!

You are 100% right that it is spelled out very clearly. Thank you for the patience.

Thanks for looking into it. What URL did you enter in the server endpoint? Is it just the HA domain? Or is it another link that I have to get from HA? I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but I genuinely don’t know.

I’ve also had pretty good testing with One Calendar, but in general I prefer open source apps unless the proprietary app offers unique benefits.

I do wish they would spin off the Calendar into a standalone app, but they haven’t shown any interest in moving that direction. I use it for email anyway so I don’t mind.

Shame, it was a great project. Guess I’ll be migrating to calibre-web automated.

Looks promising. Thunderbird works great for me for now. There are increasingly good solutions for mobile as well.

Great app! If there were Android TV support, I’d switch today.

Lemmy has been a big part of it.

I’ve never been fond of paying big tech to spy on me. It has been getting gradually more expensive and more intrusive for years. Around the time I reached a breaking point, folks here helped me realize that digital sovereignty is possible.

One day I was just like, “Why does Google need to know when my lightswich is on?” And that was the start of it.

I can’t attest to any as I don’t use PDFs this way, but here are a few links:

All of these are self-hostable and FOSS. I’m not sure about NextCloud integration.

LOL well at least you know I’m not an AI. Fixing now.

Not OP, but having files and folder structures accessible in the OS helps with a lot of tasks and interoperability.

If I want to add media files to Jellyfin, etc, I can’t just drop them into the video folder remotely because I have it mapped to a particular folder on the drive. If I want to make a copy of a large folder, I first have to mount the cloud as a “remote” drive, then do the operation from there.

It’s much easier to access files and folders outside of a database if they are needed for anything outside of the cloud service. I know that there may also be some security and efficiency factors that make a database favorable, but in terms of ease of use, it is just more effort to use a fileserver that operates through a database.

1. I like to own the stuff I buy.

2. I don’t want to pay a corporation a monthly fee to access my own data.

3. I don’t want a corporation or government to have unlimited access to my stuff.

Great! Love this app!

Right now I’m using Jellyfin for my music server. If I ever switch back to subsonic / navidrome, then you’re my number one pick by a mile. Thank you for making this!
