Selfhost offline software for a power outage (lemmy.ml)

Recently in Spain we have suffered a complete power outage, with no electricity for a long time. Some were able to have power on their computers with generators, solar panels, etc. And I know you can have data connectivity with SDR or HAM radio. But my question here is, what are some good self-host/local offline software that we can have and use for when something like this happens. I know kiwix, and some other for manuals. Please feel free to share the ones you know and love, can be for any type of thing as long as it works completely offline, I don't search for any specifics, if it is designed for offline use, just name it. For GNU/Linux only please (using Arch myself BTW). Thanks in advance.

The lack of a good server-side managament software for ebooks keeps astonishing me. I check back ever so often but the recommendations are always the same. It's either calibre-web, calibre with library on a network share or Kavita.

I've seen that audiobookshelf and jellyfin can apparently also handle books but I don't know how well the support is implemented.

Because I have a very peculiar way of organizing my book collection I need a utility which can export to a specific folder structure and file naming scheme and ideally allows exporting the entire library at once.

audiobookshelf is actually getting there for ebook support :

Any file with an extension EPUB, PDF, CBR, CBZ, AZW3, MOBI is considered an "ebook file".

AZW3 and MOBI ebook files have limited support and do not keep your progress.

What audiobookshelf is really amazing at is not requiring a strict naming scheme, unlike jellyfin it supports lots of different ways to name and organise your files, and it tracks modifications to the files (renaming, moving) without having to rescan the whole library like jellyfin (and without leaving behind entries relating to the old paths that don't correspond to anything anymore, though that should be finally fixed in jellyfin's next release !)

I would have liked a dedicated ebook server but I'll probably try using audiobookshelf in the meantime, of all the various ones I tried it's the best by far. Just missing a "DNF" status to be perfect 🙂
