## 🚀 Quick Start
|
||
|
||
All you need is [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).

|
||
|
||
### Step 1: Environment Configuration
|
||
|
||
Create a `.env` file:
|
||
|
||
```ini
|
||
# Application
|
||
APP_USER_ID=1000
|
||
APP_GROUP_ID=1000
|
||
TZ=Etc/UTC
|
||
|
||
# Database
|
||
DATABASE_URL=jdbc:mariadb://mariadb:3306/booklore
|
||
DB_USER=booklore
|
||
DB_PASSWORD=ChangeMe_BookLoreApp_2025!
|
||
|
||
# Storage: LOCAL (default) or NETWORK (disables file operations, see Network Storage section below)
|
||
DISK_TYPE=LOCAL
|
||
|
||
# MariaDB
|
||
DB_USER_ID=1000
|
||
DB_GROUP_ID=1000
|
||
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=ChangeMe_MariaDBRoot_2025!
|
||
MYSQL_DATABASE=booklore
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Step 2: Docker Compose
|
||
|
||
Create a `docker-compose.yml`:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
services:
|
||
booklore:
|
||
image: ghcr.io/booklore-app/booklore:latest
|
||
container_name: booklore
|
||
environment:
|
||
- USER_ID=${APP_USER_ID}
|
||
- GROUP_ID=${APP_GROUP_ID}
|
||
- TZ=${TZ}
|
||
- DATABASE_URL=${DATABASE_URL}
|
||
- DATABASE_USERNAME=${DB_USER}
|
||
- DATABASE_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
|
||
- DISK_TYPE=${DISK_TYPE}
|
||
depends_on:
|
||
mariadb:
|
||
condition: service_healthy
|
||
ports:
|
||
- "6060:6060"
|
||
volumes:
|
||
- ./data:/app/data
|
||
- ./books:/books
|
||
- ./bookdrop:/bookdrop
|
||
healthcheck:
|
||
test: wget -q -O - http://localhost:6060/api/v1/healthcheck
|
||
interval: 60s
|
||
retries: 5
|
||
start_period: 60s
|
||
timeout: 10s
|
||
restart: unless-stopped
|
||
|
||
mariadb:
|
||
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb:11.4.5
|
||
container_name: mariadb
|
||
environment:
|
||
- PUID=${DB_USER_ID}
|
||
- PGID=${DB_GROUP_ID}
|
||
- TZ=${TZ}
|
||
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
|
||
- MYSQL_DATABASE=${MYSQL_DATABASE}
|
||
- MYSQL_USER=${DB_USER}
|
||
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
|
||
volumes:
|
||
- ./mariadb/config:/config
|
||
restart: unless-stopped
|
||
healthcheck:
|
||
test: [ "CMD", "mariadb-admin", "ping", "-h", "localhost" ]
|
||
interval: 5s
|
||
timeout: 5s
|
||
retries: 10
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Step 3: Launch
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
docker compose up -d
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Open **http://localhost:6060**, create your admin account, and start building your library.

## ⚠️ Network Storage (NAS / NFS / SMB / CIFS)
|
||
|
||
> [!CAUTION]
|
||
> BookLore's file operations (metadata writing, file renaming, file organization) are built for **local file systems only**. Network-attached storage (NAS, NFS, SMB/CIFS mounts, cloud-backed FUSE, etc.) is **unsupported and untested**. Mount options, network latency, caching, and filesystem semantics are all outside BookLore's control and can cause silent file corruption, incomplete writes, missing files, and other unpredictable behavior. **Issues related to network storage will be closed without investigation.**
|
||
|
||
If your book files live on network storage, set `DISK_TYPE=NETWORK` in your `.env` file. This puts BookLore into **network storage mode**, which disables all file write and reorganization features. Metadata is stored in the database only and your files are never modified. This is the only supported configuration for network storage.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 📥 BookDrop: Zero-Effort Import
|
||
|
||
Drop book files into a folder. BookLore picks them up, pulls metadata, and queues everything for your review.
|
||
|
||
```mermaid
|
||
graph LR
|
||
A[📁 Drop Files] --> B[🔍 Auto-Detect]
|
||
B --> C[📊 Extract Metadata]
|
||
C --> D[✅ Review & Import]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
| Step | What Happens |
|
||
|:---|:---|
|
||
| 1. **Watch** | BookLore monitors the BookDrop folder around the clock |
|
||
| 2. **Detect** | New files are picked up and parsed automatically |
|
||
| 3. **Enrich** | Metadata is fetched from Google Books and Open Library |
|
||
| 4. **Import** | You review, tweak if needed, and add to your library |
|
||
|
||
Mount the volume in `docker-compose.yml`:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
volumes:
|
||
- ./bookdrop:/bookdrop
|
||
```
|
