Part 5/8:
Going Beyond: Creating a Personal Audiobook Server
Inspired by the success of using Libation, the author sought to take their audiobook experience a step further. The result was setting up a personal audiobook server using a Raspberry Pi—a low-cost, powerful microcomputer capable of running a web server.
Building the Server
Install Raspberry Pi OS, configure Apache web server, and set up PHP for functionality.
Establish Storage Solutions, either through a network-attached storage device or local USB drive.
Create a Minimalist Web App that allows browsing, searching, and directly downloading audiobooks from the server to a mobile device.
Implement Cloudflare for added security, optimizing the server's functionality and protection.
