Kavita

Kavita is the software this library is based on to host books, manga, comics, and PDF files of all types. Once you are registered, you can login via email, and you can read books straight off the site. You may use an API key to browse the collection in Librera or Mihon for Android. The browser works perfectly fine for reading though. My library is primarily focused on authoritative resources on diverse topics, ranging from:

  • gardening
  • cooking
  • learning
  • fitness
  • first aid
  • electronics. However, in terms of fiction, the library will be greatly expanded based on user requests. Screenshot%202024-12-31%20045920

    Jellyfin

    Jellyfin is the streaming service underpinning the media library. It has the capability to stream live TV, stream movies, shows, videos, music, and audiobooks. As with Kavita, you can login once you're registered, and you can browse the collection on the website using a browser or the official client app.

NOTE: My server is greatly under-powered, running on a little Raspberry Pi. As such, the first media added will be audiobooks and various short movies unavailable on streaming services. Eventually, with hardware upgrades, this server will be able to hold many movies available to stream, and even sports.
