The KOReader plugin sends md5(password) as x-auth-key, which can never match the bcrypt hash of the plaintext password. The auth guard ran a cost-12 bcrypt compare first, so every authenticated request spent about 250 ms of CPU and stalled other traffic before the md5 fallback accepted it. Check md5 first and keep bcrypt as the fallback for clients that send the plaintext password, so the accepted credentials are unchanged. A plugin auth call drops from about 285 ms to 8 ms. Bump the KOReader plugin to 2.2.0. The plugin changed after the 2.1.0 release shipped in v3.6.0 (series sorting, series selection, file browser exit, paged Shelves list) without a version bump. Also fix three metadata-fetch tests that were failing on main sincecfcd4ca52kept single-digit tokens in tokenizeTitleText. A volume digit in the query diluted the word overlap in scoreTitleMatch, so an ebook candidate fell under the relevance floor and a manga outranked it. scoreTitleMatch now drops lone digits again; symmetricTitleSimilarity keeps them to tell volumes apart. Also align the pnpm version installed in both Dockerfiles with the packageManager field. Sincef2a7a1118the images installed pnpm 11.22.0 while package.json pinned 11.28.9, so pnpm tried to switch itself and failed the arm64 image build with a missing @pnpm/exe lockfile entry. Closes #1983 Ref #2037
BookOrbit - Server
NestJS 12 backend running on Fastify.
Running
From the repo root: pnpm dev (starts both server and client).
Server only: pnpm start:dev (from this directory).
The server loads environment variables from .env in this directory. See .env.example for all available options.
API docs
OpenAPI docs are disabled by default. Enable them with SWAGGER_ENABLED=true:
SWAGGER_ENABLED=true pnpm start:dev
Then open:
- Swagger UI: http://localhost:6262/api/docs
- OpenAPI JSON: http://localhost:6262/api/docs-json
Dev watch uses a Nest config without the Swagger metadata generator so the
server does not restart immediately after startup. Full build output still uses
the standard Nest config and generates src/metadata.ts for enriched docs.
Module structure
Each feature is a self-contained NestJS module under src/modules/:
src/modules/
├── auth/ Authentication (JWT, OIDC, password reset)

├── library/ Library management
├── scanner/ File system scanning, metadata extraction

Database
Schema files live in src/db/schema/, one per domain. Migrations are generated by Drizzle Kit.
pnpm db:generate add_some_column # generate migration from schema diff
pnpm db:migrate # apply pending migrations
pnpm db:studio # open Drizzle Studio (DB browser)
Testing
pnpm test # unit tests
pnpm test:watch # unit tests in watch mode
pnpm e2e:run # app-smoke end-to-end test from server package
pnpm test:cov # unit tests with coverage
For suite-based e2e runs, run from the repository root:
pnpm run e2e:list
pnpm run e2e:all
pnpm run e2e:run -- scanner-scenarios
Quality
pnpm type-check # TypeScript checks (no emit)
pnpm lint:check # Non-mutating lint checks
pnpm lint:fix # Auto-fix lint issues
pnpm format:check # Prettier check
pnpm format # Prettier write
Key conventions
- Constructor injection with
@Inject(DB)for the Drizzle instance. - Config via
@nestjs/confignamed configs (appConfig,dbConfig,authConfig,storageConfig,mailerConfig). Never readprocess.envdirectly in services. - DTOs use
class-validatordecorators. GlobalValidationPiperejects unknown fields. - Throw NestJS
HttpExceptionsubclasses (NotFoundException,ForbiddenException, etc.) - never rawError. - All user-owned data is scoped by
userId. Service methods check ownership.
