What it does
COPS is a PHP-based server for browsing a calibre library through web pages and OPDS-compatible reading applications.
Choose COPS when you want a lightweight catalogue for an existing library rather than a full desktop editing environment. It needs the calibre metadata database and book files in the expected structure. Use the wiki for deployment and reader compatibility before exposing a personal collection to other users.
The OPDS feed URL ends in feed.php. The project also states that it serves the catalogue rather than editing the calibre database, so keep collection editing in the appropriate library tool. Its older runtime examples deserve a compatibility check before deployment.
