I am setting up a new server for my media and wanted to ask for your best ways to manage an ebook and comic collection. I have been using calibre so far, but it is not really designed to be managed remotely.

I think lazylibrarian is user to search and download books automatically. Are you using calibre as in the native tool, or calibre-web?

Native tool, not the web. So far, I have not felt the need to use anything else; calibre does decent management and connects to my koreader installations on ebook readers, while the abs app handles all interactions with phones. The latter has good wife-approval but the syncing through calibre to readers is complex and not super reliable, so it still requires "admin intervention"

yep lazylib for books and mags. that feed calibre which cleans and converts to kepub, then that all is synched to nas for calibre-web

there are people that only use lazylib as it has odps server aswell
