= COPS =
|
||
|
||
COPS stands for Calibre OPDS (and HTML) Php Server.
|
||
|
||
COPS output is valid the unofficial OPDS validator :
|
||
http://opds-validator.appspot.com/
|
||
|
||
= Why ? =
|
||
|
||
In my opinion Calibre is a marvelous tool but is too big and has too much
|
||
dependencies to be used for its content server.
|
||
|
||
That's the main reason why I coded this OPDS server. I needed a simple
|
||
tool to be installed on a small server (Seagate Dockstar in my case).
|
||
|
||
I initially thought of Calibre2OPDS but as it generate static file no
|
||
search was possible.
|
||
|
||
Later I added an HTML catalog.
|
||
|
||
So COPS's main advantages are :
|
||
* No need for many dependencies.
|
||
* No need for a lot of CPU or RAM.
|
||
* Not much code.
|
||
* Search is available.
|
||
* With Dropbox / owncloud it's very easy to have an up to date OPDS server.
|
||
* It was fun to code.
|
||
|
||
= Prerequisites =
|
||
|
||
1. PHP 5.3 or 5.4 with GD image processing & SQLite3 support.
|
||
2. A web server with PHP support. I only tested with various version of Nginx.
|
||
Other people reported it working with Apache and Cherokee.
|
||
3. The path to a calibre library (metadata.db, format, & cover files).
|
||
|
||
On any Debian base Linux you can use :
|
||
aptitude install php5-gd php5-sqlite
|
||
|
||
= Install =
|
||
|
||
1. Extract the zip file to a folder in web space (visible to the web server).
|
||
2. If a first-time install, copy config_default.php to config_local.php
|
||
3. Edit config_local.php to match your config.
|
||
|
||
In my case I installed COPS in a subdomain. Here is my nginx config file :
|
||
server {
|
||
|
||
listen [::]:80;
|
||
|
||
server_name opds.mydomain.com;
|
||
|
||
access_log /var/log/nginx/opds.access.log;
|
||
error_log /var/log/nginx/opds.error.log;
|
||
root /var/www/opds;
|
||
index feed.php;
|
||
|
||
location /download/ {
|
||
rewrite ^/download/(\d+)/.*\.(.*)$ /fetch.php?id=$1&type=$2 last;
|
||
break;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
location ~ ^/images.*\.(gif|png|ico|jpg)$ {
|
||
expires 31d;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
location ~ .(js|css)$ {
|
||
expires 31d;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
location ~ \.php$ {
|
||
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
|
||
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
|
||
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/fcgi.sock;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
location /Calibre {
|
||
root /home/calibre/Dropbox;
|
||
internal;
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
Beware in this case my Calibre database is in /home/calibre/Dropbox/Calibre/ so
|
||
the internal location of nginx has to split like that.
|
||
|
||
I use a Kobo eReader Touch and its browser cannot download through php file (the
|
||
extension has to be known). To allow downloading on my ereader I added some
|
||
url rewriting (location /download/).
|
||
|
||
If your Calibre database is inside your web directory then there is no need for
|
||
an internal location.
|
||
|
||
If you choose to put your Calibre directory inside your web directory then you
|
||
will have to edit /etc/nginx/mime.types to add this line :
|
||
application/epub+zip epub;
|
||
|
||
= Notes on Opensearch =
|
||
|
||
Opensearch allow searching through an OPDS catalog. After many tests, I've been
|
||
able to make it work with FBReader and Mantano Reader.
|
||
|
||
It seems that Aldiko didn't implement it properly so it won't work with COPS or
|
||
any other custom OPDS catalog.
|
||
|
||
= Known problems =
|
||
|
||
* Only tested by me with Nginx but confirmed to work with Apache and Cherokee.
|
||
* Contain Nginx specific code (that could be changed with a config item).
|
||
* certainly many many more.
|
||
|
||
= Disclaimer =
|
||
|
||
I only tested on Debian with Nginx so I have stricly no idea if it works
|
||
with Apache or any other web server.
|
||
|
||
On the OPDS client side I mainly tested with FBReader and Aldiko on Android.
|
||
|
||
It also seems to work with Stanza.
|
||
|
||
