# BookOrbit
BookOrbit is a self-hosted, open-source library and reading platform for ebooks, audiobooks, and comics. Think of it as your own private digital library: multi-format readers built into the browser, automated metadata management, reading analytics, and multi-user support with SSO. No subscription, your files on your hardware.
The features that make it stand out in the self-hosted library space:
- **Device sync** — native synchronization with Kobo e-readers and [[KOReader]], so reading progress follows you between devices.
- **Private OPDS catalogs** — share your library with reading apps and family members over the standard catalog protocol.
- **All formats in one place** — ebooks, audiobooks, AND comics, where most alternatives specialize in one.
Deployment is [[Docker]]: a [[PostgreSQL]] container (pgvector image) plus the BookOrbit app container.
