# [Cops](http://blog.slucas.fr/en/oss/calibre-opds-php-server) by Sébastien # Lucas, stands for Calibre OPDS (and HTML) Php Server. COPS links to your # Calibre library database and allows downloading and emailing of books directly # from a web browser and provides a OPDS feed to connect to your devices. # Changes in your Calibre library are reflected immediately in your COPS pages. # See : [COPS's home](http://blog.slucas.fr/en/oss/calibre-opds-php-server) for # more details. Don't forget to check the # [Wiki](https://github.com/seblucas/cops/wiki). ## Why? (taken from the # author's site) In my opinion Calibre is a marvelous tool but is too big and # has too much dependencies to be used for its content server. That's the main # reason why I coded this OPDS server. I needed a simple tool to be installed on # a small server (Seagate Dockstar in my case). I initially thought of # Calibre2OPDS but as it generate static file no search was possible. Later I # added an simple HTML catalog that should be usable on my Kobo. So COPS's main # advantages are : * No need for many dependencies. * No need for a lot of CPU # or RAM. * Not much code. * Search is available. * With Dropbox / owncloud it's # very easy to have an up to date OPDS server. * It was fun to code. If you want # to use the OPDS feed don't forget to specify feed.php at the end of your URL. --- version: "2.1" services: cops: image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/cops container_name: cops environment: # for UserID - PUID=${PUID:-1024} # for GroupID - PGID=${PGID:-100} # specify a timezone to use, see this [list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List). - TZ=${TZ:-Europe/Amsterdam} volumes: # COPS Application Data. - ${BASEDIR:-/volume1/docker}/cops/config:/config # Calibre metadata.db location. - ${BASEDIR:-/volume1/docker}/cops/books:/books ports: # WebUI - 80:80 restart: unless-stopped
