Stack Addons
Calibre Web (Automated)
Self-hosted Calibre library web UI with automated ingestion, format conversion, and send-to-Kindle/Kobo.
A managed Calibre Web Automated instance hosted on ElfHosted. Browse, read, and download your Calibre ebook library via a modern web UI โ plus an automated ingestion pipeline that processes new books dropped into an inbox folder, converts formats (EPUBโKEPUB for Kobo, etc.), and updates metadata without manual Calibre desktop sessions. OPDS support for KOReader and other reading apps. Bring your existing Calibre library or start fresh.
Emby [Standalone]
Add Emby to the Personal Media Stack you already run on ElfHosted.
Emby Server, hosted alongside your existing Personal Media Stack (Starter, Hobbit, Ranger, Halfling, or Nazgul). Shares your parent stack's storage, with no second debrid account and no duplicated storage. Emby Premiere required for remote streaming.
Storyteller
Self-hosted ebook + audiobook fusion โ combine your EPUB and its audiobook into a single EPUB 3 with Media Overlays so the words highlight as the narrator reads.
A managed Storyteller instance hosted on ElfHosted. Upload an ebook and its audiobook; Storyteller transcribes the audio, aligns it sentence-by-sentence with the ebook text, and outputs a single EPUB 3 file with Media Overlays. Open the result in any compatible reader โ including the dedicated iOS and Android Storyteller apps โ and read along while the narrator reads, with text highlighting in time. Audible’s Immersion Reading / Whispersync for Voice, on your own files.
Transcription is the slow part of alignment, and on ElfHosted it runs on shared NVIDIA T4 GPUs instead of your instance's CPU. A four hour audiobook transcribes in around half an hour rather than several hours. The GPU pool is shared between tenants, so timings vary with how many other transcriptions are running.
MediaStorm 4K
Native iOS, tvOS, Android & Android TV apps. No Plex, no Jellyfin, no fuss.
MediaStorm is a streaming server with first-party native apps for every major TV and mobile platform. ElfHosted runs the backend, bundles a Usenet account with 150Mbps included, and lets you connect your own debrid account on top. AI picks included with no API key to find, plus TMDB/TVDB metadata. 1x 4K or 2x HD streams.
