I looked for any mention of hosting your own server on the repo's readme and could not find it. This is not readily available information so stop shaming people for not finding it.

But thank you for sharing the link that was helpful

The second paragraph seems to address this

“ With Librum, you can manage your own online library and access it from any device anytime, anywhere. It has features like note-taking, bookmarking, and highlighting, while offering customization to make it as personal as you want!”

It is very clearly called a platform.

Many selfhostable solutions use similar wording as their main focus is the platform. While not excluding selfhosting options they don't promote it either.

To be fair, Amazon could write the exact same things (minus customization) about their platform, saying that you have an online library is different from saying that you can self-hosted it. But it being (F?)OSS can give an hint that there could be the possibility of doing it.

No kidding.

I appreciate and use Open Source, and still I'm recognizatnt of the saying "Open source is only free if your time is worthless".

Luckily the short term self-hostability of many projects has become trivial.

> "Open source is only free if your time is worthless" The main reason to use FOSS software shouldn't be the price: indeed with commercial competitors at a few $/€ per month that require less work on your part one can rightfully wonder if he's saving money with FOSS software. But also control over your tools and not giving away personal data has a value.
