Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I use Calibre-Web and external auth. The auth headers are added by Authelia + Nginx which sit in front of it.
Not exactly turn-key, but since I was already using Authelia, it was simple enough to switch from local accounts to external.
Similarly I use COPS (php calibre front-end)... But with no users or auth. If you can guess the URL you are in! Exciting.
This seems like a much more maintained fork. Though Calibre has a builtin OPDS server these days.
Thanks for the link. Yeah, my server is old. COPS is old, but still works great for me. .
Calibre has built in server, but while running server (last I checked) it locks the db so you can't do much with the Gui, can't add books etc. Also I'm already running a a web server with php so it's more efficient just to slap the COPS web app there rather than run yet another server.
Any good resources you can point me to for that?
I use the version packaged by linuxserver.io:
https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-calibre-web/
Unfortunately, that's about as good of docs as I've been able to find for it.
To configure external auth, go to its web interface at
/admin/configand then expand "Feature Configuration"There's a checkbox for "Enable reverse proxy authentication" and below that a field to specify the header name that will contain the email address of the authenticated user. In my case, it's REMOTE_EMAIL.
That header will vary depending on what you have setup for authentication, but it needs to provide an email address that determines the user.
My version is a little old, but from skimming the current docs, it may support OAUTH now.
