@tomhung357 looks nice
Quick look at their Dockerfile suggests it may not be too difficult to package. Will look closer later.

+1 on Kavita!!

[wycats]

I'm really enjoying Cloudron and came here to check whether anyone's already asked for Kavita. I'd be interested in learning how I could help

[krumel]

Considering the bad shape Calibre Web is after all these years (Not Cloudron,I mean thebase) and how great Kavita meanwhile has become I am also fully in support of bringing that to Cloudron.

[eyecreate]

I took some time tonight and made a first version of the software package. I'm still testing it out, but if you have been wanting to try out Kavita, you can try it out here: https://git.cloudron.io/eyecreate/kavita
(use the build instructions)

[jagan]

Wow, thanks, @eyecreate I am going to spin up a new cloudron server just to test this.
Kavita is fantastic! Look forward to having it on our app store.

[girish]

An nice, a .net app! That would be a first on Cloudron.

[odie]

Any chance of getting @eyecreate's Kavita on the app store? I'd love to test out Kavita, but I am too incompetent to manage to try the instructions in his repository (I just get "App installation error: Failed to get app info from store: 404 message: No such app" when trying)

[eyecreate]

I haven't updated the readme(which references some incorrect instructions for install), but I think the build instructions should work.

[girish]

@eyecreate do you think you can add a LICENSE to the repo? Thanks.

[eyecreate]

Yep, just added it now!

This is published as unstable now!
