* chore(ci): trigger pipeline

* fix(koreader): migrate untagged dashboard section settings

Plugin 1.4.x stored the configurable dashboard rows as a bare ordered
list with no schema marker, so gating the migration on schemaVersion == 1
never matched anything a device had actually written. Every upgrading
user who had ever picked a row was read positionally instead: the Stats
strip disappeared and Discover ended up in two slots, with a stored
SmartScope dropped entirely.

Treat an untagged stored list as the legacy shape and migrate it into the
slots those rows used to occupy. Cover it with the settings shapes 1.4.x
really wrote, rather than a marker nothing ever produced.

Also drop store() and primary(), which no caller uses now that slots are
written through storeAt(), along with the dead grow loop inside storeAt()
that normalize() already makes unreachable.

* fix(koreader): keep dashboard shelves in aspect, inside the page, and deduped

The four-slot renderer handed each shelf a height derived from the
leftover vertical budget while its cover cards kept the width computed
from the natural row, so any page with more than one shelf drew covers
out of aspect. It also had no answer for a page too small for the
configured slots: shelves clamped to a 48px floor and the layout simply
overflowed the available height.

Size shelves from their cards instead. A shelf that does not fit gets
more, narrower cards per row, so its height is always the height those
cards need. When even the narrowest row does not fit, drop slots the way
the pre-four-slot renderer did: the stats strip first, then shelves from
the bottom up.

Fetch each distinct shelf source once per dashboard load. Two slots
showing Discover previously rendered the same list twice, and two slots
on the same catalog filter each paid for their own request; a source that
fails is now also not retried by the next slot that wants it.

Drop what the four-slot rewrite left behind: the unused capabilities
require, the tall-layout helper and its constants, and the section
accessors and request helper that no longer have callers. Name the
per-shelf page size and the minimum cover width instead of repeating the
literals. Add setDashboardSections() so a whole configuration can be
applied in one refresh.

Add a layout spec that drives updateDashboardItems and asserts covers
stay in aspect, the drop order holds, and nothing is laid out past the
available height.

* fix(koreader): close the dashboard slot menu through its own API

Reset to Default wrote section_stale as a boolean where the renderer
reads a per-slot table, so the reset never actually marked anything
pending and stale books stayed on screen under the new headers until the
refresh landed. It also dereferenced current_context without a guard and
wrote the setting behind the catalog's back. Route it through the new
setDashboardSections() so the slots and the cache signature move
together in one refresh.

Close the invoking touch menu with closeMenu() rather than handing the
widget to UIManager:close(), which skips the close_callback that owns its
container.

Drop the section parameter from catalogDashboard() and the unused
catalogDashboardSection() helper: the plugin builds its shelves from the
ordinary catalog endpoints now and sends neither. The server keeps both
routes for devices still on 1.4.x, so its DTO test stays; rename it to
match the file it covers and drop the empty Nest module compile.

* revert(koreader): keep the plugin at 1.4.0

1.4.0 has not shipped yet: 1.3.0 is the last released plugin version, so
the dashboard slot work can land inside 1.4.0 rather than claiming a
version of its own. Devices in the field are on 1.3.0 and see a single
1.3.0 -> 1.4.0 step either way.

* fix(koreader): stop rotating upright read-status badges

buildReadStatusBadge turned every status icon a quarter turn, but only
two of the seven are corner folds. The dogear assets are drawn with their
right angle at the top left and the badge sits in the cover's top-right
corner, so those do need the turn. Bookmark, check and reload are upright
glyphs and were being drawn on their side: a want-to-read cover showed
its bookmark ribbon lying sideways like a chevron.

Rotate only the dogear icons.

What is BookOrbit?

BookOrbit organizes your books and reads them back to you anywhere: the web reader, a Kobo, or KOReader. Progress, highlights, and reading status move between all three, so you can start a chapter in one place and finish it in another.

Around that core sit 14 metadata providers, reading statistics and achievements, OPDS and Send-to-Kindle delivery, multi-user accounts with OIDC/SSO, and automatic sync out to Hardcover, Readwise, and StoryGraph. All of it runs on infrastructure you control.

Note: The demo includes a sample library of public domain books. Some administrative features are limited in the public demo. Self-hosting BookOrbit provides the full experience.

Features

Reading Experience & Sync

  • Built-in Web Readers: Ebooks (EPUB, KEPUB, MOBI, AZW3, AZW, FB2), PDFs, comics (CBZ, CBR, CB7), and audiobooks (M4B, MP3, M4A, OPUS, OGG, FLAC), with no extra plugins required.
  • Three-Way Sync (Kobo + KOReader + BookOrbit): Progress and annotations flow bidirectionally between Kobo devices, KOReader, and the BookOrbit web reader. Pick up on any surface where you left off on another, including highlights and deletions.
  • KOReader Plugin: An on-device catalog browser with search, download, and status and rating management, alongside full progress and annotation sync.
  • Annotations & Highlights: Highlights from the web reader, KOReader, and Kobo merge into one searchable hub. Filter by color, style, and source; export as Markdown, CSV, or JSON.
  • Hardcover, Readwise & StoryGraph Sync: Push status, progress, reading dates, and ratings to Hardcover on configurable triggers; status and progress to The StoryGraph; and new highlights and notes to Readwise as you create them, from both the web reader and synced devices. Hardcover read history can be pulled back to backfill blank BookOrbit entries.
  • Statistics, Goals & Achievements: Daily reading time, heatmaps, streaks, and library health, plus yearly goals, monthly challenges, and 50+ achievements across five categories. Reading DNA profiles your reading style from your actual session history.

Library Management

  • Multiple Libraries: Isolate content with per-library folders, custom scan rules, and format priorities.
  • 14 Metadata Providers: Google Books, Open Library, Amazon, Goodreads, Kobo, Hardcover, Audible, Audnexus, Libro.fm, and iTunes, plus ComicVine for comics, RanobeDB for light novels, and Aladin and Lubimyczytać for Korean and Polish catalogs. Cover art is sourced separately from iTunes, DuckDuckGo, and AudiobookCovers.
  • Smart Scopes & Collections: Organize your collection with curated lists and dynamic, rule-based saved filters.

Platform & Delivery

  • Multi-User & SSO: Granular per-user permissions and isolated reading data, with native support for Authentik, Keycloak, and Authelia via OIDC.
  • Multilingual Interface: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Slovenian, translated by the community on Crowdin.
  • Content Delivery: OPDS support for compatible apps, Send-to-Kindle via email, and browser drag-and-drop uploads.
  • Automated Ingestion: Configure a Book Dock drop folder for hands-free importing.

Quick Start (Docker)

mkdir bookorbit && cd bookorbit
mkdir -p books data/app data/postgres
curl -fsSLo .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bookorbit/bookorbit/main/.env.example
curl -fsSLo docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bookorbit/bookorbit/main/docker-compose.yml

Edit .env and set these required values:

APP_URL=http://your-server-ip:3000   # the URL you'll open in your browser
BOOKS_HOST_PATH=./books              # folder on your server where your book files live

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=         # database password           - openssl rand -hex 24
JWT_SECRET=                # signs login tokens          - openssl rand -hex 32
SETUP_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN=     # one-time setup wizard token - openssl rand -hex 16

On a NAS, or any host where your book folder is owned by a user other than UID 1000, also set PUID and PGID to match that owner. Run id -u and id -g as the owning user to find them. Getting these wrong is the most common cause of permission errors on first scan.

Optionally set LIBRARY_BROWSE_ROOT=/books to start the library folder picker at /books instead of /.

Then start:

docker compose up -d

Open http://your-server-ip:3000 and complete setup using your SETUP_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN.

For the full installation guide including reverse proxy setup, file permissions on NAS, external databases, and environment variable reference, see bookorbit.app/installation.

KOReader Plugin

The BookOrbit plugin for KOReader adds progress sync, two-way annotation sync, and a native catalog browser: navigate, search, and download books from your library without leaving the device.
