Thanks for this. First I've heard of it. I'd prefer something more general for books (though there are comics too). I have about 22,000 titles, filenames well-constructed, that I don't have anything to serve them up remotely. I was using Nextcloud for awhile, but it's subpar.

>which has drawbacks since books and comics have an extremely wide variety of naming conventions

I actually have that part figured out. For periodicals too, like comics. The real trick with those is that it's often not that easy to find the ISSNs for them, they mostly don't list them on the inside cover.

I think Calibre, maybe combined with Calibre-web is what you're looking for.

Despite the creator having strong views on coding style and UI/UX, Calibre is still by far the best tool to manage ebooks.
