Copper is the universal, automatic digital library.

---

Copper is the universal digital library, aiming to replace ad-hoc solutions like Paperless, Calibre, and Beets.

🚨 Warning 🚨

Copper is still very incomplete, and is nowhere near ready for daily use.
This might change once the following projects are resolved:

• Backend v1
• Webui v1
• Data integrity

PRs are very welcome, especially for the web ui!

Features

• Supports any kind of collection: audio, ebooks, photos, ad infinitum.
• Simple drag and drop uploads
• Graphical data pipeline editor
• Edit items in bulk (planned)
• Simple backup (planned)
• Powerful export pipelines (planned)
• Scriptable api (planned)
• Flexible data export (planned)
• Email notifications (planned)
• Automatic ingestion (planned)
• Fast & powerful search (planned)
• Expose data for other services (planned)

Non-features

Functionality that is intentionally omitted from Copper. Use a better tool.

• Low-code workflows
  • Copper processes data, not logic.
  • Instead, use Node-red or n8n.
• Advanced playback UI
  • Copper's ui is designed to manage media, not consume it.
  • Instead, use Jellyfin.

Getting started

Copper is designed to be run in docker. To get started, to the following:

• Download the contents of ./dist
• cd dist
• docker compose up -d
• Read ./dist/docker-compose.yml.
  If you want to run the stack manually, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

A prebuilt docker image will be published once Copper reaches v1.

User Documentation

Has yet to be written. It will likely be embedded in Copper's web ui.
