Ask HN: Options for self-hosted media cataloguing tools?
2 by Rumperuu | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I currently track my media through a variety of sites (e.g., Goodreads for books, Letterboxd for films). I want to: a) move from these services to something self-hosted; and b) combine all the various types of media into a single catalogue. The only two self-hosted tools for this that I've found so far are Bookwyrm and Koillection. Bookwyrm has interesting social features through ActivityPub, but as far as I can tell it isn't extensible to media other than books. Koillection is content-agnostic, but doesn't come with any default media types (inconvenient) doesn't appear to have any sort of import function for the data I export from the sites I'm currently using (dealbreaker). The key features I would like are: • visually customisable; • record notes for each item catalogued; • automatically retrieves cover art; and • provides CSV importing. Can anyone suggest anything that would fulfil these? As far as I can tell, unless someone can suggest something I've overlooked my options are: • whip up something basic myself (but I'm time-limited at the moment so would like to avoid this if possible); • use Bookwrym and modify it to extend the Book object; or • use Koillection and try to manually import my data directly into the database.
