What you can build with Open Monograph Press
Open Monograph Press (OMP) is a free, open-source publishing platform developed by the Public Knowledge Project for university presses, scholarly societies, and independent academic publishers. It manages the full editorial workflow for books — from submission and internal review through copyediting, production, and online catalogue publication — in a single integrated tool.
Self-hosting OMP on your own VPS keeps manuscripts, reviewer identities, contracts, and reader analytics under your direct control rather than on a third-party press service. This template bundles a MariaDB database for reliable metadata storage and routes traffic through the pre-installed Traefik reverse proxy so your press is reachable over HTTPS as soon as deployment completes.
Key features of Open Monograph Press
Editorial workflow
Move every submission through submission, internal review, external review, copyediting, and production stages with role-based task assignments.
Series and catalogs
Organise titles into book series, categories, and a public catalogue so readers can browse your press by topic, author, or series.
Multiple formats per book
Sell or distribute each monograph in several formats — PDF, EPUB, HTML, hardcover, paperback — from a single catalogue entry with rich metadata.
ONIX and DOI metadata
Generate ONIX records and register DOIs so your monographs are discoverable in library catalogues, search engines, and academic indexes.
Multilingual press
Run a press in multiple languages with localised interface, metadata fields, and reader-facing pages from one installation.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Kodee and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
