From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would really love a version of Calibre that ran in a web browser instead of a desktop app
https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-calibre
Run this in a docker container which exposes a vnc-style web interface.
That's still not what I'm looking for. What's wrong with good old HTML?
Another user posted a link to Calibre-Web in this thread and I would def use that instead of this.
They are just trying to help, nothing wrong with html.
There was somebody on the Linux reddit with a self hostable ebook app just a week or so. It looked slick but wasn't really that useful for me. Might be worth a look.
That docker image does have a basic web interface as well, but it's limited to adding, downloading, and editing the metadata of single files.
COPS is cool too but it's only a download interface.
