========
|
|
|
|
Web frontend for calibre e-book manager. BSD License.

|
Features
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Bouquins is a node.js application using the express framework. The web UI uses bootstrap and jQuery.
|
|
|
|
It allows to browse, search and download e-bboks from a calibre library using a web browser (desktop/mobile).
|
|
|
|
It needs a local access to all files in the calibre library (including the sqlite database file: metadata.db). Synchronisation of those files on the server is not part of the application (personnaly I use owncloud).
|
|
|
|
bouquins is available in french and english.

Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
development
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* Install node.js and npm with your usual system tools.
|
|
* Extract bouquins in a web accessible directory.
|
|
* Install depenencies by running:
|
|
```
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
in bouquins directory.
|
|
* Create a symlink `public/calibre` pointing to calibre library
|
|
* Check path to calibre files and database in `config/development.json`.
|
|
* Start application:
|
|
```
|
|
npm start
|
|
```
|
|
* Open http://localhost:3000
|
|
|
|
production
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
As a node.js application, bouquins is best run behind a web server such as nginx. nginx act as a proxy for node.js and serves static files (/public and /calibre).
|
|
|
|
In production, config file is not `config/development.json` but depends on the `NODE_ENV` environment variable, for example, if `NODE_ENV=production`, file is `config/production.json`. The `public/calibre` symlink is not needed, but the webserver must server `/calibre`.
|
|
|
|
You will also need to run node as a dameon, I use daemontools on a FreeBD host. There are other solutions, such as https://github.com/indexzero/forever
