Hosted on ElfHosted. With hosted BookSeerr on ElfHosted, there's no laptop whirring for days: it runs with us, and what it learns about your books survives restarts and updates. It reads your ElfHosted Calibre-Web library directly, with no paths to set up, and only ever reads it, never writes. It sits behind your ElfHosted login. BookSeerr needs Calibre-Web: run Calibre-Web with us, add your books, and BookSeerr finds them. What is BookSeerr? A discovery layer for your Calibre library. Instead of scrolling an alphabetical list, open any book and see book recommendations from your own shelves, close in theme and content rather than just matching tags. The similarity engine runs on the instance itself, so it works without an API key, and you can connect an OpenAI-compatible service of your own for richer suggestions. It's a small, young project, offered as early access. Start with a 7-day trial. It's backed up daily, and you can restore it yourself whenever you need to. Stuck? Sam, ElfHosted's AI helper, checks your actual apps, tells you what's wrong, and asks before fixing it. Unlike a generic chatbot, which guesses and overcomplicates, Sam is tuned on these apps and the way we run them: he safely reads your actual logs and proposes a fix, and nothing changes until you approve it. If you'd rather ask a person, the ElfHosted team is on Discord around the clock, in a family-friendly, carefully moderated server: one place for support for every app you run with us, instead of a GitHub issue, docs that may be out of date, or yet another Discord per project. BookSeerr includes no books: it discovers within the library you already have. BookSeerr is the work of its own developer; ElfHosted is not affiliated with the project.
