Calibre (& Calibre web?)
-
Calibre is a popular self-hosted ebook manager. Github page.
Now, Calibre is a desktop application, not a web application. But there is also Calibre-web, which is a web front end for the Calibre backend.
Should Calibre and Calibre-web be hosted through a single Cloudron application, or 2 separate applications?
Either way, I think these 2 applications could be very powerful on Cloudron.

Agreed, would love to see

A Cloudron app hosting a desktop app? I don’t understand.

@yusf Calibre itself is quite a lot of things as I understand it. The important part here would be the server component. With Calibre installed locally, then Calibre-web would be the web interface to the server.
I've done some research on open source ebook software out there, and Calibre is the one that always comes up with the most community support. Open to other suggestions!

@thetomester13 I see. So is it possible to isolate the server component and bundle it with Calibre Web without involving the desktop app?
I’ve tried to look into this before but I’ve always come up short because of confusion around dependency on the desktop app, which I don’t want to involve in my setup.
-
@yusf Unfortunately, I believe the installation will include the many different components of Calibre, but you can start only the server component.
