I hoped to offer EPUB format as well as PDF, and perhaps other formats if possible.
The connect to folder operation is ideal for this. Is it to create a folder of ebooks you want on your server, then copy them however you want.

I use calibre2opds to generate a sub-website for my library, then copy that subsite to a dropbox folder. That folder is shared with my server, so the new site automatically arrives. My site has a link to the subsite/library, so changes are automatically seen. I don't mind having an unbranded library subsite, so this works very well and is very easy to maintain.
