I didn’t copy in the updates this time because there are so many, and I can’t tell what’s important since I haven’t tried this one out yet. See the link above for the changes :)

Calibre, while a fantastic tool for its age, has several problems when containerised, including its reliance on a KasmVNC server instance for the UI, which is near impossible to use on mobile and is relatively resource-heavy if you’re running a small, lower power server like I am.
For many, Calibre-Web has really swooped in to save the day, offering an alternative to a containerised Calibre instance that’s resource-light and with a much more modern UI to boot.
However, when compared to full-fat Calibre, it unfortunately lacks a few core features leading many to run both services in parallel, each serving to fill in where the other lacks, resulting in an often clunky, imperfect solution.
Goal of the Project 🎯 Calibre-Web Automated aims to be an all-in-one solution, combining the modern lightweight web UI from Calibre-Web with the robust, versatile feature set of Calibre, with a slew of extra features and automations thrown in on top.

Can this handle plugins? I use a modded DeDRM on my Kindle Unlimited books, and so require plugin support.
As far as I’m aware, Calibre-Web serves are web front-end for calibre. I think you might have to install plugins manually on the desktop version, but it should be active when importing a book over the Calibre-web, especially DeDRM.
Oh my god, somebody finally found a way for me to leave calibre?
Can’t wait to install this.
If you look closely, a .epub is just a zip archive of a bunch of very simple html pages. So extracting the zip and viewing the HTML with a browser works fine.
Recently set up cwa, mostly to have an easier way to get my books on my e-reader since koreader supports opds. It’s been super easy so far and has a great interface, like it way better thenz calibre desktop.
