Calibre-Web, the open source web library for browsing, reading and downloading your Calibre ebook collection with OPDS support, preinstalled for AWS with nginx and an initialised library. A per instance administrator password is generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Calibre-Web by cloudimg
Calibre-Web is a clean, modern, self-hosted web interface for browsing, reading and downloading the books in a Calibre ebook library. It offers an in-browser ebook reader, full-text search, custom shelves, user management, Kobo sync and an OPDS feed so dedicated reading apps can pull straight from your library. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Calibre-Web fully installed and configured with an empty library ready for your books, so a complete ebook server is running within minutes of launch.
## Application Stack
Calibre-Web runs from a dedicated Python virtual environment, served on loopback and fronted by nginx on port 80. The companion calibre command-line tools are installed so the library can be managed from the shell, and an empty Calibre library is initialised on a dedicated, independently resizable storage volume, with the application pre-configured to use it so no setup wizard is required.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service rotates the built-in administrator account to a fresh password, unique to that instance, and writes it to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
The application, web server and library are all configured. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the administrator, upload your EPUB, PDF, MOBI and other ebook files, organise them into shelves, and read them in the browser or sync them to your reading device over OPDS.
