I use shelfmark (link: github.com/calibrain/shelfmark) with my hardcover API for metadata, connects seamlessly with calibre-web-automated (link: github.com/crocodilestick/Calibre-Web-Automated) for imports, etc.

Calibre-Web has always been interesting to me. Can it be deployed in such a way as to keep a Calibre content server also accessible? (e.g. for sync with the desktop app/Koreader/etc.)

Yep! for a while I deployed Calibre-Web alongside Calibre in a ‘books’ compose.yaml stack using Docker. I used volume mounts to expose my library to both containers. The main thing to be cautious of is that you don’t write to the db from both C and CW at the same time (which could result in corruption). Some folks spin up/down Calibre as-needed, but I had them both running and was just mindful. I personally ended up switching from C+CW to Calibre-Web Automated and fully removing Calibre. I’m able to do everything from CWA that I was doing in both previously. FWIW if you are managing devices (e.g., family, etc.), Kobo devices + Kobo sync via CW/CWA is wonderful for usability (books show up on devices ‘natively’).

Caliber web isn’t two separate applications, it’s a calibre-compatible database served via http. There is no desktop “calibre” involved.
There is integrated koreader sync, though.
