I'm looking to expand into having a online library and looking for some real world experiences and opinions. Ideally, looking for someone that worked well with docker and the various arrs.

Calibre Web Automated is what I use. Works well.

    I think CWA is the most robust option out there. BookLore was vibecoded and behaved in the typical weird/unexpectedly way vibecoded apps tend to. I haven't tried the Fork of it, but CWA checks nearly all the boxes and is actively developed.

    Another vote for CWA. It's been a year and I can fully remember my reasons for not going with something else, but I tried several and nothing was quite as complete for what I needed.

    I also don't want or need much for automation. I want to curate my library, there are few authors I'd want to monitor and grab everything from. Then from a metadata front, CWA lets me easily search for and cherry pick bits of metadata.
