Adding books

Books can be of multiple formats, but for now every book only has one format. Supported formats are

  • epub
  • pdf
  • mobi
  • cbr
  • cbz

Add books from command

Any book in the public/books folder will be added to the database when you run the books:scan command. If a book already exists, its location in the filesystem will be updated, but metadata will not be overwritten.

You can periodically run this command to automatically add new books.

Adding books from the interface

Adding books to the public/books/consume will list them in the /books/new/consume/files page. This is useful when you want to add books to the library but don’t want to add them to the database yet or to mount a folder where books might arrive later (Maybe like a download folder 🫢).

Verified status

When books are added to the database, their “verified” status is set to false and a link to all unverified books is available in the menu.
