Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I don't use Calibre for this (but I do for epub and pdf ebooks). I use Plex and use Plexamp for my music collection. For audio books I used to have Chronicle Audiobook Player installed (which is open source, but not actively maintained) but am now trying out Listen Audiobook Player (which is not open source as a heads up). Both of those allow me to download books wherever I am.
If you have no interest in running a Plex server neither of them are suitable for you, but I just wanted to mention this solution in case you're not dead set on using Calibre. Plex has a cost factor which may come into play (an obvious non starter for some). I have had Plex Pass for a long time so it was natural for me to use it, but might not be for you.
I already have a Jellyfin server, won't switch to plex but maybe I find a comoatible client for that one, thanks for the pointer!
With all the privacy and corporate issues around Plex Jellyfin may be a better option tho
