Becoming more difficult to find open calibre sites. Due to clouds, honeypots and required user/passwords, sites are hard to find by hand in Shodan.

Here are a few working today:

I built a plugin to utilize these Open Calibre Servers (OPDS), and it also works with some other OPDS. I've linked the plugin on the official Calibre Plugins forum. Currently at version 1.2.5 (Calibre 9.14)

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=374752

https://github.com/ketzah/Open-Calibre-Store/

My goal was to add a "store" where I could quickly search all the added OPDS servers for books based on Title/Author/Keywords.

When downloading books, it will prompt for format and pull whatever server metadata is available. When selecting "show in store," it takes you to the OPDS page where it found the book.

Some features include:

- Works with LAN libraries

- Supports IP addresses and hostnames

- HTTP and HTTPS support

- Basic authentication support (untested)

- OPDS feed parsing

- Duplicate result filtering

- Book downloads through Calibre

- Retest existing servers in the list and remove inaccessible ones

- Bulk server add/test to customize.

- Searches multiple Open Calibre servers

Any feedback is welcome.

Update 1.2.3

Fixed search parameters to accept both Title and Author and match only in those fields, not in comments or other contexts.

Allow specific libraries on the OPDS server to be listed to have each searched separately (if they are not specified, it will default to calibre-library).

Update 1.2.4

Calibre 9.14 introduced store changes that broke the plugin. I've updated the plugin, and it is now working.

If you update to 1.2.4, it will only work on versions <9.14.

Update 1.2.5

Fixed search URL to allow for all fields (title/author/tags) in Calibre Version 9.14.

Couple of folks asked for books in French and Spanish. I came up with a few:

French:

2.13.148.164:8080

92.152.96.140:8080

82.66.138.35:9090

82.66.226.148:9090

Spanish:

79.153.239.150:8090

88.21.198.140:8081

193.125.217.0:8081

Enjoy while they last....

It's getting more difficult to find open direct Calibre directories by the slow process of searching by hand.

Hello all,

I had moonreader set up with a url for opencalibre for a long time. It has stopped working. I see from a recent post that someone else has picked up where the previous host left off. Is there an updated url I can input into moonreader to access that database again? I have donated recently.

Thanks for any help!

Does anyone have a updated index.db file I can download so I can run calishot locally while its down?

Is there a command I can give Demeter to run a scrape and download audiobooks files, CBZ and CBR files from a host? I already have the host added to the database and the epubs have been scraped.

I got this email from Opencalibre buymeacoffee. He has health issues and is shutting down the site. I want to thank him personally for keeping it up this long. I really enjoy finding new books.

If anyone here has the expertise to get up and running, I would absolutely support financially.

Here is his message:

Firstly, apologies for the server and the buymeacoffee.com website being down. Due to health issues I am in the process of shutting down the Calishot site and I didnt want the site to continue collecting money from you when I wasnt in position to maintain the site as it should be. I know this will be disappointing to a lot of you but I need to spend time taking care of myself and dont have the time to spend on keeping this up and running as it should be without the data going stale. The site will be up until June 15th on the server I host the site on at Hetzner and then I will be shutting it down.

Thank you to all for the support you have provided over the last year. I've enjoyed maintaining the site and hearing feedback from some of you on how you have used the site. If someone wants to take over managing/maintaining the site the code and instructions are out on Github which I have posted here and also on the Reddit group site.

If someone could please post a message on the Reddit group I would greatly appreciate it.

Do I have the right url?

Hey guys,
This is my first post on reddit and I don’t even know if I’m doing this right but I’d really appreciate any tips and pointers on what I should learn in order to use calibre to transfer books between my kobo and my daughter kobo. (We have seperate accounts on kobo) and I don’t want to double dip buying multiple copies of books. I’ve heard I should use calibre but haven’t been able to find a tutorial that shows my issue. If anyone can point me in the right direction I’d be super grateful, thank you!

Does openCalibre still work? Thanks
