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.

Mihon is the successor to takiyomi. It's a manga website scrapper. But it also supports some self hosted solutions for reading across devices.
Make sure to add this special repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json

It really sounds like you're trying to setup a centralized solution for media consumption and I might be confusing you with my recommendations.
I read on only one device so this works for me. Mihon supports self hosted solutions. ReadEra is just a nice reading client. I manage it with a file explorer and netshare (Solid explorer)
No worries! I was pretty much confused myself from the beginning, so I am definitely open to any workflow :) And I do plan to read on one device only as well. My centralized approach was mostly about saving space on the tablet/reader and a possibly easier management and freedom to move to something else in the future, rather than a strict requirement.
I used to have tachyomi on my eink tablet, so this definitely rings a bell, but I thought the only working solution was Suwayomi.
I will look into Mihon and its support of selfhosted solutions then, seems like a nice combination :)
If you want simplicity I recommend skipping all self hosted solutions. You can set mihon to download X chapters ahead for offline reading and delete chapters as you read. On a kindle I'd recommend save as archive and/or cut tall images (webtoons).
Ebooks take no space.
Stick to calibre on your computer and transfer via netshare using a file browser (android: solid explorer) to copy stuff over. That's what I do.
Thanks! I am open to try both selfhosted and local solutions, let's see how they work out :) Definitely going to check mihon which was recommended by someone else too, seems like a pretty easy solution (and thanks for the tips about the kindle).
