  • Set up audiobookshelf via docker. I like using portainer to manage docker containers because it has a GUI. Command line stuff is more difficult if you don’t have the background experience to go with it. I think doing it all in a GUI feels more comfortable for most people.

    Docker can also be kind of intimidating if you are just wading into the self hosting world but it really is much simpler to use once you get the hang of it. Portainer helps a ton with that. Audiobookshelf would be great to start with both imo because it’s a pretty basic set up. You have to define a storage location for your library and config files and that’s about all it takes to get it up and running.

    I recently got into all this and remember well what it was like to feel out of my element so feel free to ask questions if you have any. I’m no expert but I’m happy to share what I can.















  • There are people here and other places on the internet who can make a difference in enterprise contracts as well. I am part of an AI pilot program to roll out ChatGPT at my company right now. You can be sure that I am actively pointing out that, among other things, OpenAI is being sued by several entities for stealing data when their primary promise to us is “we won’t use your data”. That feedback matters and some of us learn about that stuff from places like this.
