Calibre is what I would take a look at. There is a web version that has a couple of different setups. for docker this looks interesting:

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web

Ive also used yunohost (mostly for ease of use and backups) here: https://apps.yunohost.org/app/calibreweb

Its basically the same thing either way.

    +1 For Calibre Web. I do not have an ereader device, but I do like having my collection on the server. I do a ton of reading since I couldn't tell you the last thing I watched on TV....it's probably be well over a decade. But reading, that's where it's at for me. I'm not into fiction or novels but rather Technology, History, that kind of stuff. In the evening, I have a small NUC running Mint and a bluetooth portable screen. Works out pretty well for me.
