I'm currently using Calibre and Audiobookshelf, where the latter is basically just using the folder structure of Calibre with and additional folder for some audiobooks. Works okay but is not the greatest solution. The calibre library web interface is quite nice (not the weird VNC-style admin panel, the one on other port). People also mention lazylibrarian a lot but I never tried it.
I’m using the calibre-web version with several kobo ebooks. It pretty good. The best user experience is with the kobo epub format.
I think lazylibrarian is user to search and download books automatically. Are you using calibre as in the native tool, or calibre-web?
Native tool, not the web. So far, I have not felt the need to use anything else; calibre does decent management and connects to my koreader installations on ebook readers, while the abs app handles all interactions with phones. The latter has good wife-approval but the syncing through calibre to readers is complex and not super reliable, so it still requires "admin intervention"
yep lazylib for books and mags. that feed calibre which cleans and converts to kepub, then that all is synched to nas for calibre-web
there are people that only use lazylib as it has odps server aswell
