dir2opds - serve books from a directory

dir2opds inspects the given folder and serve an OPDS 1.1 compliant server.

Overview

There are good options to serve books using OPDS. Calibre is good for that but if your server is headless, install Calibre doesn't seem to be the best option.

That is why calibre2opds exists, but if you have too many books and you don't want to create a Calibre library dir2opds could help you to have an OPDS server from a directory with one condition:

• A folder should have only folders or only files.
