Self-Hosted Alternatives to Popular Services

Even though I've searched and searched for a solution for self hosting my ebook library (epub and pdf) AND having sync progress on iOS devices, I couldn't find anything that can do this. Right now I'm using Calibre web just for library management (no syncing features). I've tried Kavita (good for comic series but pretty bad for single books, especially pdf and metadata).

Ebook managing and syncing is the only thing that I can't find a way to self host. I was using Google Books which was working flawlessly for syncing and having all your books in one place but I'm moving away from Google (I got the self hosting virus).

Thank you in advance for your help and have a great 2025!
