About
Your e-book shelf in the browser. Browse, search and read a Calibre library from any device and send books straight to an e-reader.
Notes
Browse, read and download an existing Calibre e-book library through a friendly web UI. Supports OPDS, in-browser reading (epub/pdf/comic) and per-user accounts.
Built from the LinuxServer.io lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web image (multi-arch). On first launch you'll be asked to point Calibre-Web at a metadata.db file inside the mounted books folder — drop your existing Calibre library there or create a fresh one with the official Calibre app.
The Calibre-Web SQLite app database lives under the config path; your books and Calibre's metadata.db live under the books path.
