Calibre Web is now available

[girish]

Hi all,
Calibre is now available in the app store. It's marked as unstable at the moment, and there is a bunch of upstream work that has to be done. Thanks to @ultraviolet for bootstrapping this!

Do not use in production yet. It's working but not ready.

Code: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/calibre-web-app.git
Docs: https://docs.cloudron.io/documentation/calibre/

A bunch of issues need to be sorted out before declaring this as stable:

• Init sequence is not ideal - https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/issues/1656
• LDAP integration
  • I think there might be a security issue about admin user suddenly becoming available when LDAP is down. I have to investigate more and report upstream.
• OPDS is not working (for me atleast). I tested with moon reader.
• Maybe expose calibre content server, not sure.

If you test and report other issues here, it will be great!

@girish I can confirm that OPDS is working with the KyBook3 app for iOS, the url is https://yourdomain.tld/opds and then in the http login window use your credentials.

I would advise you to setup as default the ‘dark mode’ as this theme is much much more beautiful.

How did you enable dark mode? Is there a switch in settings for that?

1. Settings
2. Edit UI configuration
3. View configuration
4. Theme

Installed the application. LDAP integration really doesn't work. On other functions as if everything is correct. In a few days it will be clear in more detail.

@AidenJeffries I am still trying to sort out/fix the init sequence. I am waiting for a reply from upstream devs in the github issue - https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/issues/1656

I would add a few more levels of security and the possibility of simplified authorization.

Top! Really stumbled over this app after upgrading my ebook reader.
@girish The issue is resolved - is LDAP in reach?

All the best. If needed I may test features
