What grimmory-self-hosted-library does

This skill equips your coding agent with setup recipes for Grimmory, a personal library server replacing BookLore. It covers building the docker-compose.yml file alongside MariaDB, mapping persistent storage volumes, and configuring environment parameters.

The guide details auto-import routines via the BookDrop folder, metadata fetching from public registries, and syncing with Kobo and KOReader hardware. Setting DISK_TYPE=NETWORK prevents accidental file deletion or renaming whenever books sit on shared SMB or NFS volumes.

For backend development, the instructions document the /api/v1/ REST interface and common Spring Boot patterns. You will need Docker and Docker Compose installed locally, because the instructions rely strictly on container execution.

What it helps with

  • deploy Grimmory and MariaDB containers via Docker Compose
  • configure the BookDrop folder for automatic ebook ingest
  • link KOReader and Kobo devices through OPDS and sync endpoints
  • protect SMB or NFS storage against deletions via DISK_TYPE=NETWORK
  • build custom Java endpoints against the Grimmory REST API

Example prompts for the agent

  • Generate a docker-compose.yml and .env setup for Grimmory with MariaDB
  • How do I configure BookDrop auto-import and OPDS in Grimmory?
  • Write a Spring Boot controller for the Grimmory API to manage shelves
