Runtime Configuration Options

PUBLIC_REG
Set to 1 to enable public user registration.
ANON_BROWSE

Requirements

Python 2.7+

Optionally, to enable on-the-fly conversion from EPUB to MOBI when using the send-to-kindle feature:

Download Amazon's KindleGen tool for your platform and place the binary named as kindlegen in the vendor folder.

Calibre Web can be run as Docker container. The latest image is available on Docker Hub.
