Booklore¶

Description / nameInput element
Your domain name

Overview¶

Booklore is a powerful, self-hosted web application designed to organize and manage your personal book collection with elegance and ease. Build your dream library with an intuitive interface, robust metadata management, and seamless multi-user support.


Configuration¶

The Bookdrop location is managed by the role and defaults to /mnt/unionfs/downloads/bookdrop (based on your downloads root), where other apps have access to place downloads in.

To rename the subdirectory, you can use booklore_role_bookdrop_subfolder, detailed in the Settings tab below.

Deployment¶

sb install sandbox-booklore

Usage¶

Visit https://booklore.iYOUR_DOMAIN_NAMEi.

  • On your first visit you must create an admin user account.

  • After logging back in with the admin user account, create your first library.

  • Create a directory for your book files (e.g. /mnt/unionfs/Media/Books) or use an existing directory.

    Select that path when creating your library.

Role Defaults¶

Variables can be customized using the Inventory. (1)

  1. Example override

    booklore_name: "custom_value"
    

    Avoid overriding variables ending in _default

    When overriding variables that end in _default (like booklore_docker_envs_default), you replace the entire default configuration. Future updates that add new default values will not be applied to your setup, potentially breaking functionality.

    Instead, use the corresponding _custom variable (like booklore_docker_envs_custom) to add your changes. Custom values are merged with defaults, ensuring you receive updates.
