Blazingly fast 🔥, lightweight 🎈and minimal alternative to calibre-web. Written in PHP using Laravel and Blade and almost fully server-rendered.
Work in Progress.
Calibre-Web is a great project. However, I've found it to be excruciatingly slow. I've tried to optimize it, but it's just too much of a hassle to work with. So I decided to write my own version of it.
According to the creator of calibre, Kovid, the name is pronounced as "cali-bur" instead of "ka-libre", which I did not know until recently and I found quite interesting.
See the excellent Laravel Deployment documentation..
Also run npm install and npm run build with your favourite node package manager.
Make sure to symlink or copy your Calibre library to the storage/app/content directory (not inside the storage/app/content directory!).
