How to Install Abogen on Ubuntu 24.04

Abogen is a self-hosted AI audiobook generator that converts EPUBs, PDFs, and plain text into narrated audiobooks with word-level synchronized captions. It features a modern web UI with a queue system, chapter markers, voice mixing, subtitle overlays, and support for multiple TTS engines including Kokoro, Piper, and Coqui. Everything runs locally through Docker, so your documents and generated audio never leave your server. Ideal for researchers, students, and readers who want private, offline, high-quality narration of their digital libraries.
