linuxserver/cops¶
Cops by Sébastien Lucas, now maintained by MikesPub, stands for Calibre OPDS (and HTML) Php Server.
COPS links to your Calibre library database and allows downloading and emailing of books directly from a web browser and provides a OPDS feed to connect to your devices.
Changes in your Calibre library are reflected immediately in your COPS pages.
See : COPS's home for more details.
Don't forget to check the Wiki.
Why? (taken from the author's site)¶
In my opinion Calibre is a marvelous tool but is too big and has too much dependencies to be used for its content server.
That's the main reason why I coded this OPDS server. I needed a simple tool to be installed on a small server (Seagate Dockstar in my case).
I initially thought of Calibre2OPDS but as it generate static file no search was possible.
Later I added an simple HTML catalog that should be usable on my Kobo.
So COPS's main advantages are : * No need for many dependencies. * No need for a lot of CPU or RAM. * Not much code. * Search is available. * With Dropbox / owncloud it's very easy to have an up to date OPDS server. * It was fun to code.
If you want to use the OPDS feed don't forget to specify feed.php at the end of your URL.
Supported Architectures¶
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/cops:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
| armhf | ❌ |
Application Setup¶
Access the webui at http://<docker host ip>:80. For connecting via OPDS on a mobile device use http://<docker host ip>:80/feed.php. It is strongly suggested that you reverse proxy this prior to exposing to the internet. For more information, such as requiring credentials, check the COPS Wiki (linked above).
The linuxserver version gives you access to config_local.php in /config to customise your install to suit your needs, it also includes the dependencies required to directly view epub books in your browser.
Usage¶
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
