Personally, I don't want to have a Calibre instance running constantly on my RasPi, as I don't want to do e-book management on a headless server in a docker container where I need to connect via VNC.

I understand, that I can achieve some of my requirements with COPS, which would be the "always available OPDS server where I can download books from via KOreader" part, but Calibre-web(automated) also adds the option to run a Kobo sync server (correct, Kobo sync server, not KOreader sync server) that provides the option to sync sideloaded books on your Kobo.

My workflow is e-book and metadata management on my Macbook via Calibre, then rsync the Calibre database and books to my RasPi and then use Calibre-web(automated) to sync and serve those e-books to Kobo reader and KOreader.

I'm aware that this is a niche in a niche in a niche but it makes me happy.
