dir2opds

dir2opds - serve books from a directory

dir2opds inspects the given folder and serves an OPDS 1.1 compliant server.

Overview

There are good options for serving books using OPDS. Calibre is a popular choice, but if you have a headless server, installing Calibre might not be the best option.

That's where calibre2opds comes in. However, if you have a large number of books and don't want to create a Calibre library, dir2opds can help you set up an OPDS server from a directory with one condition:

• A folder should contain either only folders or only files.
