Purpose

I love books. Always have. Since I was a kid. Over the years several thousand books gathered in my flat; so many that I sort of ran out of space. Relunctantly I started to investigate and then use eBooks, first on my main desktop computer, later with a dedicated eBook reader.

Soon – and again – there were so many that I started looking for some convenient way to handle, store, and retrieve them for reading. That's when I became acquainted with Calibre, a great software for working with eBooks. Of course, there were some problems but since the software is actively maintained and extended all the time those problems either went away on their own with the next update or I found some way around them. And sure, it took some work to get all the eBooks into that library system, and since there are always coming new titles the work kind of never ends.

Another question soon became urgent: How to access my books when I'm not at home? As it turned out, Calibre comes bundled with its own web-server. After figuring out how to start it automatically when the machine gets restarted (which happens once in a while when some kernel software upgrade requires it) the server did its job. Quite another question, however, is how it does its job. And there the problem lies. The web-server coming with Calibre serves pages that are heavily dependent on JavaScript; so much so that the pages simply don't appear or work at all if you have JavaScript disabled in your browser e.g. for privacy or security reasons. For a while I grudgingly activated JavaScript whenever I wanted to access my books remotely. I asked the author of Calibre whether he'd be willing to provide a barrier-free alternative (i.e. without JavaScript) but unfortunately he declined: "Not going to happen."

Well, due to other projects I didn't find the time then to do something about it, and it took some more years before I started seriously to look for alternatives. Therefore now there's Kaliber, a barrier-free web-server for your Calibre book collection. It doesn't depend on – or even need – JavaScript, but just requires a web-browser capable to read plain HTML on the remote user's side. So even privacy or security conscious people or those who depend on assisting technologies (like e.g. screen-readers) can now access their library.

As an aside:

I never really understood the desire to multiply the work needed to be done for a web page.

A server is a server which means it should serve. When in a restaurant ordering a meal you surely expect it to be brought to you fully prepared and ready to be consumed. You'd probably were seriously annoyed if the waiter/server just brought you the ingredients and left it to you to prepare the meal for yourself.

For some strange reason, however, that's exactly what happens on a growing number of web-presentations: Instead of delivering a ready-to-read web-page they send every user just program code and let the user's machine do the preparing of the page. In other words: Instead of one server doing the work and delivering it to thousands of remote users nowadays the server forces thousands (or even millions) of remote users to spend time and electricity to just see a single web-page.

Since I couldn't find a documentation of the database structure and/or API used by Calibre to store its meta-data I had to reverse engineer ways to access the stored book data. The same is true – to a certain lesser degree – for the web-pages served by Kaliber: it's kind of a mix of Calibre's normal (i.e. JavaScript based) and mobile pages. The overall layout of the web-pages served by Kaliber is intentionally kept simple (KISS).

Features

  • Simplicity of use;
  • Barrier-free (no JavaScript required);
  • Books list layout either Cover Grid or Data List;
  • Easy navigation (First, Prev, Next, Last button/links);
  • Fulltext search as well as datafield-based searches;
  • Ordered in either ascending or descending direction;
  • Selectable number of books per page;
  • Sortable by author, date, language, publisher, rating, series, size, tags, or title;
  • Anonymised access logging;
  • Optional user/password based access control.

	(optional) user list: show all users in the password file
-uu string
	<userName> (optional) user update: update a username in the password file

Most options can be set in an INI file to keep the command-line short ;-)
$ _

As you can see there are quite a few options available, but almost all of them are optional since they come with reasonable default values.

//TODO
User/password file & handling

Only usable from the commandline are the -uXX options, most of which need an username and the name of the password file to use. Note that whenever you're prompted to input a password this will not be echoed to the console.

$ ./kaliber -ua testuser1 -uf pwaccess.db

 password:
repeat pw:
    added 'testuser1' to list
$ _

The password input is not echoed to the console, therefor you don't see it.

Since we have the passfile setting already in our INI file (see below) we can forget the -uf option for the next options.

With -uc you can check a user's password:

$ ./kaliber -uc testuser1

 password:
    'testuser1' password check successful
$ _

This -uc you'll probably never actually use, it was just easy to implement.

If you want to remove a user the -ud will do the trick:

$ ./kaliber -ud testuser1
    removed 'testuser1' from list
$ _

When you want to know which users are stored in your password file -ul is your friend:

$ ./kaliber -ul
matthias

$ _

Since we deleted the testuser1 before only one entry remains.

That only leaves -uu to update (change) a user's password.

$ ./kaliber -ua testuser2

 password:
repeat pw:
    added 'testuser2' to list

$ ./kaliber -uu testuser2

 password:
repeat pw:
    updated user 'testuser2' in list

$ ./kaliber -ul
matthias
testuser2

$ _

First we added (-ua) a new user, then we updated the password (-uu), and finally we asked for the list of users (-ul).

Authentication

But why, you may ask, would you need an username/password file anyway? Well, there may be several reasons one of which could be Copyright problems. If not all your books are in the public domain and Copyright-free in most countries you may not make them publically available. In that case you're most likely the only actual remote user allowed to access the books in your library.

Whenever there's no password file given (either in the INI file or the command-line) all functionality requiring authentication will be disabled which in turn means that everybody can access your library. Depending on your country's legislation you may or may not include your family members. If in doubt please consult a Copyright expert.

Note that the password file generated and used by this system resembles the htpasswd used by the Apache web-server, but both files are not interchangeable because the actual encryption algorithms used by both are different.

INI file

But relax! You don't have to give all those commandline options listed above every time you want to start Kaliber. There's an INI file which can take all the options (apart from the user handling options) all in one place:

$ cat kaliber.ini
# Default configuration file for the Kaliber server

[Default]

# Number of books to show per page
booksperpage = 25

# path-/filename of TLS certificate's private key to enable TLS/HTTPS
# (if empty standard HTTP is used)
# NOTE: a relative path/name will be combined with `datadir` (below).
certKey = ./certs/server.key

# path-/filename of TLS (server) certificate to enable TLS/HTTPS
# (if empty standard HTTP is used)
# NOTE: a relative path/name will be combined with `dadadir` (below).
certPem = ./certs/server.pem

# The directory root for CSS, FONTS, IMG, and VIEWS sub-directories.
# NOTE: this should be an absolute path name.
datadir = ./

# The default language to use:
lang = de

# Name of this library (shown on every page)
libraryname = "MyBooks"

# Path of Calibre library
# NOTE: this must be the absolute pathname of the Calibre library.
librarypath = "/var/opt/Calibre"

# The host's IP to listen at:
listen = 127.0.0.1

# The IP port to listen to:
port = 8383

# Name of the optional logfile to write to.
# NOTE: a relative path/name will be combined with `datadir` (above).
logfile = /dev/stdout

# Password file for HTTP Basic Authentication.
# NOTE: a relative path/name will be combined with `datadir` (above).
passfile = ./pwaccess.db

# Name of host/domain to secure by BasicAuth:
realm = "This Host"

# Name of the directory to store session files.
# NOTE: a relative path/name will be combined with `datadir` (above).
sessiondir = "./sessions"

# Number of seconds an unused session keeps valid:
sessionTTL = 1200

# Web/display theme: `dark` or `light':
theme = light

# _EoF_
$ _


//TODO

Directory structure

Under the directory given with the datadir = entry in the INI file or the -datadir commandline option there are several sub-directories expected:

  • css: containing the CSS files used,
  • fonts: containing the fonts used,
  • img: containing the images used,
  • views: the Go templates used to generate the pages.

All of this directories and files are part of the Kaliber package. You can use them as is or customise them as you see fit to suit your needs. However, please note: I will not support any customisations, you're on your own with that.

Caveats

There are some Calibre features which are not available (yet) with Kaliber and not currently supported:

  • custom columns defined by the respective Calibre user;
  • different/multiple libraries of the user to switch between;
  • book uploads are not planned to be included.

Once I figure out how they are realised by Calibre I expect they find their way into Kaliber as well (provided I find actually time to do it).

Logging

Like almost every other web-server Kaliber writes all access data to a logfile (logfile = in the INI file and -log at the commandline). As privacy becomes a serious concern for a growing number of people (including law makers) – the IP address is definitely to be considered as personal data – the logging facility anonymises the requesting users by setting the host-part of the respective remote address to zero (0). This option takes care of e.g. European servers who may not without explicit consent of the users store personal data; this includes IP addresses in logfiles and elsewhere (eg. statistical data gathered from logfiles). Since the generated logfile resembles that of the popular Apache server you can use all tools written for Apache logfiles to anylyse the access data.

The following external libraries were used building Kaliber:

NewView returns a new `TView` with `aName`.

`aBaseDir` is the path to the directory storing the template files.

`aName` is the name of the template file providing the page's main body without the filename extension (i.e. w/o ".gohtml"). `aName` serves as both the main template's name as well as the view's name.

func (*TView) Render 

func (v *TView) Render(aWriter http.ResponseWriter, aData *TemplateData) error

Render executes the template using the TView's properties.

`aWriter` is a http.ResponseWriter, or e.g. `os.Stdout` in console apps.

`aData` is a list of data to be injected into the template.

If an error occurs executing the template or writing its output, execution stops, and the method returns without writing anything to the output `aWriter`.

func (*TView) RenderedPage 

func (v *TView) RenderedPage(aData *TemplateData) (rBytes []byte, rErr error)

RenderedPage returns the rendered template/page and a possible Error executing the template.

`aData` is a list of data to be injected into the template.

type TViewList 

type TViewList tViewList

TViewList is a list of `TView` instances (to be used as a template pool).

func NewViewList 

func NewViewList() *TViewList

NewViewList returns a new (empty) `TViewList` instance.

func (*TViewList) Add 

func (vl *TViewList) Add(aView *TView) *TViewList

Add appends `aView` to the list.

`aView` is the view to add to this list.

The view's name (as specified in the `NewView()` function call) is used as the view's key in this list.

func (*TViewList) Get 

func (vl *TViewList) Get(aName string) (*TView, bool)

Get returns the view with `aName`.

`aName` is the name (key) of the `TView` object to retrieve.

If `aName` doesn't exist, the return value is `nil`. The second value (ok) is a `bool` that is `true` if `aName` exists in the list, and `false` if not.

func (*TViewList) Render 

func (vl *TViewList) Render(aName string, aWriter http.ResponseWriter, aData *TemplateData) error

Render executes the template with the key `aName`.

`aName` is the name of the template/view to use.

`aWriter` is a `http.ResponseWriter` to handle the executed template.

`aData` is a list of data to be injected into the template.

If an error occurs executing the template or writing its output, execution stops, and the method returns without writing anything to the output `aWriter`.

func (*TViewList) RenderedPage 

func (vl *TViewList) RenderedPage(aName string, aData *TemplateData) (rBytes []byte, rErr error)

RenderedPage returns the rendered template/page with the key `aName`.

`aName` is the name of the template/view to use.

`aData` is a list of data to be injected into the template.

If there's already a list entry with `aKey` its current value gets replaced by `aValue`.

`aKey` is the values's identifier (as used as placeholder in the template).

`aValue` contains the data entry's value.

type TvirtLibMap added in v0.7.0 

type TvirtLibMap map[string]TVirtLibStruct

TvirtLibMap is a list of virt.lib. definitions
