Deploy Audiobookshelf in one click installation.
Self-hosted audiobook and podcast server with multi-user support, offline mobile apps, and automatic metadata fetching.
What you can build with Audiobookshelf
Audiobookshelf is a comprehensive self-hosted media server built specifically for audiobooks, podcasts, and e-books. It provides a Progressive Web App accessible from any browser plus native iOS and Android apps with offline listening support. The platform streams all audio formats on-the-fly, fetches metadata and cover art automatically, and keeps individual playback progress synced across all devices for each user.
Self-hosting puts you in full control of your media library — no subscription fees, no file size limits, and no vendor lock-in. Podcast auto-downloading, RSS feed generation, chapter management, and audio file merging tools make Audiobookshelf a complete replacement for commercial audiobook platforms while keeping your listening habits and purchased content entirely private.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
