  From the Readme:

  Why does it exist? 🔓

  Calibre, while a fantastic tool for its age, has several problems when containerised, including its reliance on a KasmVNC server instance for the UI, which is near impossible to use on mobile and is relatively resource-heavy if you’re running a small, lower power server like I am.

  For many, Calibre-Web has really swooped in to save the day, offering an alternative to a containerised Calibre instance that’s resource-light and with a much more modern UI to boot.

  However, when compared to full-fat Calibre, it unfortunately lacks a few core features leading many to run both services in parallel, each serving to fill in where the other lacks, resulting in an often clunky, imperfect solution.

    This is explaining the difference between Calibre and Calibre-Web.

    The person you replied to asked what the connection is between “Calibre-Web” and “Calibre-Web Automated”

    I hope this isn’t a step towards replacing the native app with an SPA.

      Which native app do you mean? Calibre desktop?

      It’s by different devs. One is a desktop application, one a selfhosted Webservice. I think there’s room for both.

        So is this a fork of calibre web or something that runs on top or what?
