# What is CalibreWebAlternative?
This is a web server to the popular book management application Calibre. We found that the builtin webserver was kinda shit, so we're building our own. (make this friendlier later)
# Features
- navbar with tags, series, authors, etc
- Search by author, identifier, title
- authentication
# Some screenshots
Here's how the various lists look like

Adanced search

# requirements
Django 3.0
Calibre 4.13 (I have not tested it with anything else atm, will be resolved later)
# how to use:
1. [Docker setup](./deployment/instructions.md#user-content-docker-detup)
2. [Non Docker setup](./deployment/instructions.md#user-content-non-docker-detup)
# Ignore pretty much everything below if you're not working on the project
# Profiling
To do profiling, you have to create some dummy users
Unbakify a file `./loadtesting/dummyusers.json.bak` and fill in the credentials for the dummy users
While django is running, open another shell and cd to `./loadtesting` and run `./bench.py`
To have a more interactive session,
comment out
```
run-time = 2m
headless = true
```
in `locust.conf`, and then run `./bench.py`
You can then go to [http://localhost:8089/](http://localhost:8089/) to see live graphs, tweak the number of users and more.
# Finished Features
- [x] Books
- [x] navbar with tags, series, authors, etc
- [x] Search
- [x] authentication
- [x] Cache
- [x] logging
- [x] deploy instructions
# TODO ROADMAP
- [ ] cache with vary headers
- [ ] localisation
- [ ] Beautifying template (only works well on 720p, no other viewports)
- [ ] Setup email functionality (atm, there's only a dummy one, and you can't reset passwords)
- [ ] isolate the styling and templates, so we can swap them out by just swapping directory content
