Oooooo, but there be dragons.
It's good they put it up front though. There can be a lot of entitlement with oss users sometimes and setting expectations can help alleviate that.
Actually good for the developer. He is doing it out of his passion and faith in OSS. What more should we want of him? The dude is already a hero.
It's just a warning not to get into it unless you're capable of helping yourself.
That's true of all self-hosting.
De-DRMing audible audio books and self hosting are not inextricably linked. I just wanted to repost it to make sure people saw it before diving in.
The origins of the phrase "here be dragons" is one of placing a warning of caution on an unexplored area of the map. It says nothing negative about the developer.
In my experience, that's just true of all software. There's a couple of high end InDesign plugins I use for work. Aside from that, I'm on my own.
You don't really need much documentation. You set it up on windows once, which is pretty intuitive and then you copy the config to your server and run it headless. It pulls your library in fixed intervals. I haven't touched it once in the year it is running now
It works now, even if later he gets tired of it and walks away it still works now.
I actually used a Windows app, de audible I think to get all mine out years ago. But I am always glad to see alternatives.
