Ive been using Calibre Web Automated on my server and it works pretty well, no issues so far and addresses the shortcomings for self hosting pretty well
Comment on How I self-host my ebooks and audiobooks

Need to look into your ebook flow.
I… dislike Calibre because of the “unique” UI setup and the fact that it’s next to impossible to self-host on a NAS.
But sadly it has every feature ever, which makes it essential and irreplaceable.

I self hosted it within a docker container on Open media vault. So it is possible to host it on an nas (if you can use docker). My ebook flow works a similar way to op’s. Though I have to be on my home WiFi to download books using the kobo. Or connecting to a router with a Vpn to my server.

Yea, I have the VNC virtual docker hack running and it’s annoying. The weird UI is even worse because the virtual desktop doesn’t map properly and dialogs become full screen affairs etc.
I’m trying to use it as little as possible 😅

Oh yeah, I also use it as little as possible! it’s far from ideal.
