Self-hosted news, updates, launches, and a spotlight on Calibre-Web Automated - a consolidated web app for Calibre and Calibre-Web
This Week in Self-Hosted
Tides of Change
Plex announced they'll be dropping Tidal integration in late October this week. Their third-party offerings/integrations have personally never come off as incredibly appealing – but some of the Reddit reactions to this news lead me to believe more will be impacted than previously thought.
I Think I'm Having an Asterism
Meet the asterism (⁂) – the proposed new symbol for the fediverse that has been gaining traction this past week. It's supposed to represent the various networks that come together to create the decentralized web, but the jury is still out on whether the community will be willing to accept it with open arms. Regardless, it isn't the worst social rebrand we've witnessed in the recent past.

Content Spotlight: Calibre-Web Automated
Meet Calibre-Web Automated, a consolidated Calibre and Calibre-Web application for eBook library management. Calibre-Web Automated aims to replace the need for separate applications and clunky VNC interfaces by merging all the features required for managing new and existing Calibre libraries into a single container. Functionality includes imports, conversions, metadata and cover management, CLI commands, change tracking, batch editing, and more to come as the platform is currently under very active development.
Calibre-Web Automated can be installed via Docker and comes with some required reading to get up-and-running.
