Audiobooks and podcasts, self-hosted
Audiobookshelf hosting on Appbox. Organize audiobooks and podcasts in one web library, sync progress per user, and pair with the mobile apps for offline listening.
What you get with Audiobookshelf hosting
A focused media server for spoken audio, not a generic video stack bolted on.
Audiobook libraries
Shelf-based organization, series order, chapters, and sleep timers tuned for long listens.
Podcasts in the same UI
Subscribe, fetch episodes, and keep podcasts beside audiobooks without a second app.
Per-user progress
Bookmarks, playback position, and history stay separate for each account on your server.
Metadata you can fix
Match covers and details from providers, then edit tags and artwork when the source data is thin.
Official mobile apps
iOS and Android clients talk to your instance for downloads and sync when you are off Wi-Fi.
Managed web app
Runs as a platform-managed container with HTTPS on your chosen subdomain, no manual reverse proxy.
