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.
Notes
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.
Open-source contribution
A fixed amount per install goes to Calibre-Web, forwarded via PayPal.
