Since the project was shutdown I’m in need of a replacement, anyone found a reasonable fork or alternative?
Features I used:
- Kobo proxy and 2 way progress sync
- OIDC
I really am not interested in going back to Calibre.
For anyone who is not familiar already:
Calibre is a desktop application that has some file hosting/syncing features.
Calibre-Web is a server software that uses the Calibre library files, but can operate independently after setup.
Calibre Web Automated is a server software based on Calibre-Web with an overhauled UI and many additional features including automated ingest, OIDC, KOsync, file conversion and fixing, and more.
From looking online it seems people are migrating to Grimmory: https://github.com/grimmory-tools/grimmory
Not sure how trustworthy this fork is though.
I am waiting to see how it shakes out with them. If it is still around in 2 months and they manage to push a good 3.0 version, I will switch. The original creator was responsible for most of the code. I am waiting to see if the Grimmory team can deliver.
Not sure how trustworthy this fork is though.
If the ruckus was about AI code, it would seem to me that the fork would contain some, or all of the code, perhaps modified. I’ve been using Calibre Web for quite a while now and it’s stable, ticks all the boxes.
