Bookshelf – Self-hosted eBook library that runs on object storage

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 8/10

Summary

Bookshelf is a self-hosted ebook library that serves EPUB and PDF books via browser readers, with deployment options including a Cloudflare Worker over R2 or a Node server over disk. The project includes a demo shelf, Docker and non-Docker deployment paths, and documentation on publishing, library format, and architecture, all under an MIT license. A notable caveat is that there is no authentication by default, meaning the public shelf is accessible to anyone who can reach it.
