I’ve been using a personal Jellyfin server for that purpose since many years. It also supports accounts, ebooks and even online reading (via browser or the Jellyfin client). You can also have an OPDS server, to select and download books to your reader.

I mainly used Jellyfin because I had it already and was totally not sure if opening a Calibre server to the web would be safe enough in any way, and also because I’m lazy. It’s just so great being able to access all your movies, series, music and books through one and the same platform.

Note the ebook features on Jellyfin, as compared to Calibre, are relatively rudimentary. (Enough for my family, though.)

Screenshots show access via a browser, reading an EPUB book on the desktop and on a phone using the Jellyfin online reader.
