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

        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 😀

          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.

            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)

              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.

                  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)

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

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