Calibre Web Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Ebooks

  There are already some very good ebooks solutions out there so there's really no need. Calibre for the backend and database management, Calibre-Web for the front end, and Openbooks for content. Source: 5 months ago

• Kobo / Calibre-web / ePubs - how nice do they play?

  I have a carefully-curated calibre-web library that is 100% epubs. I have a kindle to which I usually send books from calibre-web with the 'send to e-reader' button, and it works great. Source: 5 months ago

• Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0

  Worthy of note the Calibre-Web[0] project, which builds atop Calibre library to provide powerful web interface. The project and its maintainer deserve some love and support. [0] https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Calibre vs Calibre-Server

  I use this https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web. I only need the Calibre app itself for a few tasks like DRM stuff. I just rsync the two libraries when I make changes. I keep the web library local on the same RedHat box that’s running Calibre-Web. The one for the Calibre app is on my Qnap NAS. That way I also have a backup of my library. Source: 12 months ago

• Managing books on a kindle that I've converted through calibre

  I use Calibre-Web to manage my Calibre library remotely, also makes it easier for my family to share the library. In it you can set up send to e-reader via email. Using that means I can send to my Kindle or any device that has a send-to email address with Amazon. Yes, they get listed as docs, but they have full functionality. Even syncing my last read position works when I don't have my Kindle and want to read... Source: 12 months ago

• Ebook manager that is good with a network share for storage?

  I use calibre-web it is an hosted based calibre managed via browser. I’ve set my kobo store to this server and can push new books when added to calibre-web and on the kobo devices it is the standard sync option and the new books are added. For an remote Kindle I can push it via email and configured as an ebook inbox. Source: 12 months ago

• selfhosted web version of koreader available/possible?

  Kavita and Calibre-web are probably the two best out there for ebooks. Source: almost 1 year ago

• Best way to self-host ebooks?

  Calibre-Web. You can run it as a standalone if you want. You don't need to use the main calibre app if you don't want to. Source: about 1 year ago

• Chocolate, an opensource alternative to Plex

  What about support for Calibre's standard metadata files, similar to calibre-web (also written in python)? Source: about 1 year ago

• PushRead OPDS shows a maximum of 60 books

  I set up calibre-web to manage my library but if I try to use PushRead OPDS to download the books it gives me a maximum of 60 books per folder. Testing with the build in OPDS from Moon Reader shows all my books. Any tips? Source: about 1 year ago

• What to use with Docker?

  I guess most people already recommended plex wrapperr, tautulli, and plex-meta-manager. If you want to host your own budget software, there is firefly iii. Calibre with calibre-web is nice for organizing e-books, imo. I also like OpenProject for organizing projects, like stuff from work or renovating a room. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is possible to send to email through the Calibre server?

  It's an option in calibre-web, which is a different product that you have to install separately: https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web. Source: about 1 year ago

• Recommendations for self hosted royal road

  There's also alternative web interfaces for calibre like https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web which I keep meaning to set up, but the built in works fine for me. Source: about 1 year ago

• Gen Zers are bookworms but say they're shunning e-books because of eye strain, digital detoxing, and their love for libraries

  If you are tech-savy enough you actually can set that up. I use calibre-web with the kobo integration and a configuration file change on my kobo libra to do exactly what you want, automatically sync newly added books to my kobo and freely browse my library from my kobo. Source: about 1 year ago

• Does anybody share their e-book collections with friends/family?

  My suggestion is to organize your e-books via Calibre and then use Calibre-Web for sharing. You can set it up to allow browsing and downloads without the reader portion. You'll have to allow access to the server in some manner (e.g., Tailscale, open port, Cloudflare Tunnel). Source: about 1 year ago

• Any tool for eBook web self-publishing?

  You can use https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web, but you'll have to create calibre database at first launch. For docker container you'll have to exec inside it and run following commands: Cd /app/calibre/bin #go to the bin folder Calibredb restore_database --really-do-it --with-library /books #create a new db Chmod a+w /books/metadata.db #add write privileges Exit After that all settings and app support can...

  Https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web is a separated project that has that nice UI. Source: about 1 year ago

• New Unraid Build - Looking for Feedback/Suggestions

  Ebooks (I currently use Calibre, and foundthis post about using calibre-web earlier today. Setting this up in Docker seems like a good option). Source: about 1 year ago
