It’s unnecessarily annoying to set up, as the other user pointed out. But it can be set up by itself using https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/calibre-web docker, and used standalone. The only trick is needing an empty database.
Can you explain bit more please. I have calibre-web running, downloaded empty database, added some books in the same folder as database, but nothing is showing up in calibre-web gui. Did I miss something?
I tried that but you need a Calibre library first, and that requires using Calibre AFAIK

You can just create an empty calibre library using the desktop app and then import everything from the web UI.
Calibre-web even links an empty database in their readme so you can do exactly that without the desktop app.
