I’ve read ‘The Home Lab Handbook: Building and Managing Your Own IT Lab from Scratch’ which I would recommend to anyone just starting out in selfhosting and homelabing. Relative to that, I found a ‘course’ online (https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/#table-of-contents) that would also be useful for new arrivals.

Anyone reading any good HomeLab & Selfhosting books lately?

    Before you get too far into it, check out booklore and calibre-web-automated. Just to see if ya wanna go a different way. I plan on probably switching the next time we upgrade e-reader or i have to factory wipe them. Redoing on the calibre side and just resyncing got messy fast and wife approval went way way down.

      I’ll check those out. At the most, I guess I’d have to re-import the books if the db isn’t the right format.

        I think my issue was that the shelves are just number based so remaking a shelf isn’t the same as the original. Def operator error. Sync still worked fine it just removed books from the shelf but stayed on the device.
