It's a pity Calibre to date refuses to be refactored into a self-hosted service.
The core logic should be portable, with the app just being an interface to it, but no, the entire project is so much spaghetti it would feed the entire boot for over a year... such a shame.

I switched. [Kavita](https://www.kavitareader.com/) is the new hotness. I found it for comics, but realized it handled books as well as Caliber does, in a modern interface with OPDS support.

Agree, though calibre-web exists and runs in a single Docker container. I've been using it for a few years, and it's great. Sure its a whole Linux server under the hood _just_ to run Calibre and the services required to give it a web interface and API for reading apps - making it _way_ bigger than it needs to be - but it does the job.
