Both are PHP-based, lightweight alternatives to Calibre content server. You'd need a web server to run these.

COPS:

Calibre-PHP server (no longer maintained):

I use both - COPS for OPDS and Calibre-PHP for HTML. It was easier changing the templates/layout on the latter to play nice with the experimental browser on the PW3/PW4 so I don't have to zoom in all the time. Despite not having been updated since 2012, Calibre-PHP server still works quite well and it's got more robust support for custom columns compared to COPS.
