What is Reddit's opinion of Ubooquity?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I like Ubooquity, with a Plex theme. It works great with ebooks and comics as well as audiobooks.

Theme support is more active than app developments but I prefer it over Komga for the way folders and metadata work vs Komga

I recently started using Ubooquity.

I don't have a large collection of ebooks. Mainly kids books for the young ones in my family. It has worked wonderfully so far :)

impressive layout... PS you misspelled http://vaemendis.net/ubooquity/

curious a to why use the Synology for all this versus build your own server? quad-core Xeon is pretty slick for Synology, but you could build a monster system for the Syn pricing

ComicRack is fabulous for managing your library. It does a pretty good job at syncing with a tablet for reading. And it supports library sharing with other ComicRack instances, but I have not tried that. Unfortunately, there's no real OPDS support for direct access through a remote reader app.

There another project called Ubooquity that is pretty slick. It presents your library through a web app that allows streamed reading in the browser, so you don't have to download the whole book first. It also supports OPDS for those reader apps that support it and there's even one Android app that supports OPDS online streaming. The only downside (IMHO) to Ubooquity is it's in Java. But the author is very receptive to bugs and feature requests.

Not the op but ubooquity is not a typo and nothing to do with Ubiquity network equipment. It's a book server to organize and serve your digital books (ebooks, comics, etc.) to whatever devices you want to read from.

Ubooquity supports many types of files, with a preference for ePUB, CBZ, CBR and PDF files. Metadata from library management software Calibre and ComicRack are also supported.

Very late to the game here but I use Chunky Comic Reader and the free version works great but I ponied up the extra cash to support the guy because he did an excellent job.

On my home PC, I use Ubooquity to serve my comic library which Chunky has built in support for, among other web apps and online storage services. This has been working well for me.

I've imported all my Humble Bundle comics as well as other DRM free issues I've acquired over the years through various sales, into Ubooquity and Chunky.

Sadly, I'm also in the situation where I have issues in Dark Horse and Comixology that I cannot transfer or use outside of those apps. There is a Greasemonkey script for Firefox which is supposed to allow you to download your Darkhorse issues, but I never got it to work. So, all my Serenity comics are broken into two apps which I hate.

Hope this helps or that you've at least found a solution that is working for you. EDIT: Spelling

I've had a quick look at seedboxco.net and it seems that you do have shell access.

In terms of simpler options, you can have a look at Ubooquity as suggested by ToasterFaerie above. It is slightly simpler to set up, but the instructions are not the most beginner friendly. If you decide to go with that and run into any problems setting it up, give me a PM and I'll see if I can help.

I just came across this Wiki page showing that you can use ComicRack to get your metadata in to Ubooquity. Seems like it only works with CBRs though, and comiXology has PDF exports, but I guess that's good enough.

FYI, if you want to 'stream' your books instead of having to download them to your device, I recommend Ubooquity.

Had been looking for something like this for AGES. Most I came across were either incomplete or required ComicRack to be running and was too heavy on the system. Ubooquity is simple and lightweight and fits my needs perfectly. It also integrates with Calibre as well.

Hey man, get Ubooquity running and serve up your .cbz, .cbr, and ebooks.

I've got a large library at my disposal and there is NO downloading or syncing. Just a clean web interface.

Edit: if you intend on running plex head over to the plex share subreddit and get a few people's libraries on your server. (Providing you have something equal or better to offer)

Also, Minecraft server?

This is nice. I've been using calibre and it's built-in httpd server to browse and access books over home network. But this seems to have a better looking interface. ~~Now I'm wondering if I can import calibre database into Ubooquity.~~

Edit: Looks like it can read calibre book metadata. http://vaemendis.net/ubooquity/static6/f-a-q#H
