Hey, does anyone know of a good self-hosted website for managing and reading E-Books, mainly in PDF format?

Docker solutions are preferred, but if none are available, I'm open to creating an image for it.

I've already tried Kavita, which I like, but its reader is just a PDF reader. I also tried Atsumeru, but I keep encountering persistent errors with the current software. Any recommendations?

Is it? Last time I tried it, it gave me lots of issues. It didn't show many books' covers, had lots of issues when resuming reading, among other things. I do use AudioBookShelf to manage my podcasts, which it does an amazing job. Guess I'll try it's ebook capabilities again.

I've had no dramas with it all, sometimes it will struggle to match the right title for the metadata, but it's a quick manual fix if need be

Then I'll give it another try. Thanks for your response.
