A question for #calibreweb and #calibrewebautomated #ebook and #comic users: I recently set up a server in docker, with two specific storage locations for media/library storage and config, but I've found that my /config has grown massively.
It appears to be storing a lot of processed/ingested media in /config/processed_books (converted, imported and fixed_originals). Some of it has been zipped up, but some are left as is. These are mostly comics (hence there being about 40GB of data in there.
CalibreWebAutomated...
This is the SECOND TIME i click on the reset settings button accidentally because it's on the bottom right corner, which by my experience is usually the corner to CONFIRM settings! It doesn't even ask for confirmation! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
New #blog post: Migrating our #ebooks from #Booklore to #CalibreWebAutomated
A few weeks ago, I migrated our library to Booklore. However, there's been some community drama since than, culminating in the developer deleting the project entirely (repo, discord and website - all gone).
This post details the process of migrating our library over to Calibre-Web.
Part way through, I decided to use Calibre Web Automated instead, but it's pretty much drop-in compatible.

Okay, so #Calibre's #CalibreWeb - to be specific, #CalibreWebAutomated - is the absolutely most massive #Docker thing I use. The image is 1.92 gigabytes. HOW. How does a bog-standard Python app eat that much space.
Decided to try out the new fresh option, #BookLore. 329 megabytes. Sure, it's a bit big. ...but it's a Java app. 329 megabytes is pretty small for a Java web app actually.
The switch went... a little bit messily, but at least I have a new hobby now, actually being able to efficiently manage the ebook collection and edit the metadata without constantly worrying about corruption.
Ich vermute, meine Lesegewohnheiten werden sich betreffs E-Books bald ändern.
Nach wie vor bin ich sehr von den Möglichkeiten begeistert, die #Calibre bei Umwandlung der verschiedenen Formate bietet. Aber zum Lesen an und für sich habe ich die epubs dann händisch auf den Tolino kopiert.
Ja, #CalibreWebAutomated kenne und hoste ich selbst, ich finde die Oberfläche aber nicht so ansprechend.
Über einen Hinweis im Fediverse bin ich kürzlich gewahr geworden, dass #Audiobookshelf auch einen recht brauchbaren E-Reader abgibt. Da die App sowieso schon für Hörbücher auf allen Geräten läuft, gibt es keinen Mehraufwand.
Ein Abgleich mit dem Tolino wäre zwar auch schön, da sehe ich leider noch keine Möglichkeit.
Finally figured out how to manually update book covers in CWA!
This week's #SelfHosting adventure: setting up #Booklore on my homelab for #Ebook management.
I have #CalibreWebAutomated installed but find it a bit finicky and I've never managed to get it syncing with my Kobo successfully. I'm hoping that BookLore might do the trick.
The documentation provided is excellent. Now to add all my ebooks and let the Bookdrop functin work its magic!

Feiertag bisher:
- bis halb 3 am Puzzle gesessen
- gegen 8 den ersten Kaffee geschlörft
- über den Vormittag verteilt der #ePa widersprochen, #CalibreWebAutomated installiert, den neuen Kopfrasierer ausprobiert, beide 3D-Drucker angeworfen
Jetzt erstmal was futtern.
