#DigitalLibrary #e-Book #Booklore

https://thewhale.cc/posts/booklore

A self-hosted, multi-user digital library with smart shelves, auto metadata, Kobo & KOReader sync, BookDrop imports, OPDS support, and a built-in reader for EPUB, PDF, and comics.

I previously migrated my drm-free/de-drm'd #ebooks collection from Calibre Web to #Booklore.

It appears, however, that Booklore has randomly been discontinued. Fortunately, it's been forked as #Grimmory.

Just migrated the stuff over annnnnd it works and omigosh I just realised what a mess the metadata situation here was. Well, I don't need to think of a summer project then.

#software #books

Oh man. I didn't use the app for a few weeks, and it seems that #booklore is already dead and I missed all the drama.

Just when I was liking the self hosted comics reader etc.

Anyways I hope the migration to https://grimmory.org/ would be a drop in replacement.

#grimmory

I've obviously grown accustomed to the breakneck pace of releases back in the #booklore / #vibecoding days

Migrated to #grimmory after the fork and 2.3.0 release... I've been keeping an eye on pull requests and patiently awaiting the next release... It looks like they're really working hard on overhauling the insides and not focusing too hard on new features right now

I think the future is bright ✨

Okay, I have to admit that sometimes, Docker makes sense. I use Docker for Immich and Booklore, and I was dragged to it kicking and screaming.

Changing from booklore to grimmory (the new, hopefully not vibe-coded fork)

Changed
> image: booklore/booklore:latest

To
> image: grimmory/grimmory:latest

Then ran

docker compose pull
docker compose up

#booklore #grimmory

Ew ew ew ew ew. #booklore

> Wanted to flag some stuff about BookLore that I think people need to hear before they commit to it. **The code quality issue** There's been...

Hearing rumors of some kind of Booklore drama and the sole developer quitting. The github shows a 404, which isn't ideal. While this could suck, the product is pretty feature complete for me.

#booklore

Looks like we can remove #Booklore from our lists.

The repo is gone anyway.
