# Cover Image Serving - Implementation Plan
# Cover & File Serving - Implementation Plan
## Overview
Fix cover image serving to:
1. Support multiple library folders in docker compose
2. Keep covers with books (no hardcoded paths)
3. Store relative paths in database
4. Serve images via authenticated API endpoint
Fix file and cover image serving to support:
1. Multiple library folders in docker compose (flexible mount points)
2. Keep files with books (no hardcoded paths)
3. Store relative paths in database (for both files AND covers)
4. Serve everything via authenticated API endpoints
5. Mobile app compatibility (same auth for all requests)
## Architecture
### Current Behavior
- File path stored as absolute: `/app/uploads/Jane Austen/Pride and Prejudice/book.epub`
- Cover path stored as absolute: `/app/uploads/Jane Austen/Pride and Prejudice/cover.jpg`
- Frontend uses path directly: `<img src="${book.cover_image_path}">`
- Frontend uses path directly - doesn't work (browser can't access container paths)
- No route serves `/app/uploads/*`
### Target Behavior
- File path stored as relative: `Jane Austen/Pride and Prejudice/book.epub`
- Cover path stored as relative: `Jane Austen/Pride and Prejudice/cover.jpg`
- Frontend uses API: `<img src="/api/covers/{media_item_id}">`
- Handler resolves relative path using library folder base path
- All file/cover requests go through authenticated API endpoints
- Mobile app can use same endpoints with JWT auth
### URL Format
To handle same relative paths in different libraries:
```
/api/files/{media_item_id}/content → serves the book file
/api/covers/{media_item_id} → serves the cover image
```

## Phase 1: Update Scanner to Store Relative Paths
## Phase 1: Update Scanner to Store Relative Paths (Files AND Covers)
### File: `internal/services/media_scanner.go`
#### Change 1: Store relative path instead of absolute
#### Change 1: Store relative file path
**Location**: Where metadata.FilePath is set (multiple locations)
**Current code**:
```go
metadata.FilePath = path // path is absolute like /app/uploads/Author/Book/file.epub
```
**New code**:
```go
metadata.FilePath = s.getRelativePath(path)
```
#### Change 2: Store relative cover path
**Location**: Around lines 514-517, 641-651, 832-837, 1056-1067, 1472
@@ -46,50 +71,202 @@ if len(coverImage) > 0 && metadata.CoverPath == "" {
coverPath := path + ".cover.jpg"
if err := os.WriteFile(coverPath, coverImage, 0644); err == nil {
// Store relative path - derive from library folder base
metadata.CoverPath = s.getRelativeCoverPath(coverPath)
metadata.CoverPath = s.getRelativePath(coverPath)
}
}
```
#### Change 2: Add helper function to convert absolute to relative path
#### Change 3: Add helper function
**Add new function** in `internal/services/media_scanner.go`:
```go
// getRelativeCoverPath converts absolute cover path to relative path
// getRelativePath converts absolute filesystem path to relative path
// using the library folder base path
func (s *MediaScanner) getRelativeCoverPath(coverPath string) string {
func (s *MediaScanner) getRelativePath(absolutePath string) string {
// Get the base folder paths from scanner
for _, baseFolder := range s.folders {
// Check if cover path is within this base folder
if strings.HasPrefix(coverPath, baseFolder) {
// Check if path is within this base folder
if strings.HasPrefix(absolutePath, baseFolder) {
// Return relative path (without leading slash)
relPath := strings.TrimPrefix(coverPath, baseFolder)
relPath := strings.TrimPrefix(absolutePath, baseFolder)
// Remove leading slash if present
relPath = strings.TrimPrefix(relPath, "/")
return relPath
}
}
// Fallback: if no match, return as-is (shouldn't happen)
return coverPath
return absolutePath
}
```
**Note**: This requires the scanner to have access to `s.folders`. Verify this field exists and is populated.
**Note**: This uses `s.folders` which is already populated in the scanner.
#### Change 3: Update force rescan path handling
#### Change 4: Update force rescan path handling
**Location**: Around line 1472 (in the force rescan/update flow)
Apply same `getRelativeCoverPath()` conversion when updating existing items.
Apply same `getRelativePath()` conversion when updating existing items.

## Phase 2: Create Cover Image Serving Endpoint
## Phase 2: Create Path Resolution Helper (Service Layer)
### File: `internal/services/library_service.go` (or new file)
Create a reusable function that resolves relative paths to absolute filesystem paths:
```go
// ResolveMediaPath resolves a relative path to absolute filesystem path
// using the library's configured folder(s)
func (s *LibraryService) ResolveMediaPath(ctx context.Context, libraryID pgtype.UUID, relativePath string) (string, error) {
// Get library folders for this library
folders, err := s.db.GetLibraryFolders(ctx, libraryID)
if err != nil || len(folders) == 0 {
return "", fmt.Errorf("no library folders found for library")
}
// Try each folder - find one where the relative path makes sense
for _, folder := range folders {
fullPath := filepath.Join(folder.FolderPath, relativePath)
if _, err := os.Stat(fullPath); err == nil {
return fullPath, nil
}
}
// Fallback: use first folder (file might not exist yet during scan)
if len(folders) > 0 {
return filepath.Join(folders[0].FolderPath, relativePath), nil
}
return "", fmt.Errorf("could not resolve path")
}
```
---
## Phase 3: Modify Existing Endpoints to Return Resolved URLs
### Strategy
Instead of creating new endpoints, modify existing API responses to include resolved/usable URLs. This avoids extra HTTP calls.
### File: `internal/handlers/media.go`
#### Add new handler function
#### Update ListMediaItems response
**Location**: Around line 612-620
Create a wrapper struct or modify the response to include resolved cover URLs:
```go
// MediaItemResponse includes resolved URLs for frontend use
type MediaItemResponse struct {
database.ListMediaItemsRow
CoverURL string `json:"cover_url"`
FileURL string `json:"file_url"`
}
// In ListMediaItems handler:
items, err := mh.db.ListMediaItems(...)
// ... existing code ...
// Transform to response with resolved URLs
response := make([]MediaItemResponse, len(items))
for i, item := range items {
response[i] = MediaItemResponse{
ListMediaItemsRow: item,
CoverURL: mh.resolveCoverURL(item.LibraryID, item.CoverImagePath.String),
}
}
```
#### Add resolve helper methods
```go
// resolveCoverURL returns a usable URL for the cover image
func (mh *MediaHandler) resolveCoverURL(libraryID pgtype.UUID, coverPath string) string {
if coverPath == "" {
return ""
}
// For now, return empty - frontend uses existing cover endpoint
// Later this could return /api/covers/{id} pattern
return ""
}
// getFullFilePath returns the absolute filesystem path for a media item
func (mh *MediaHandler) getFullFilePath(ctx context.Context, libraryID pgtype.UUID, relativePath string) (string, error) {
if relativePath == "" {
return "", fmt.Errorf("no file path")
}
// Check if already absolute (backward compatibility)
if filepath.IsAbs(relativePath) {
return relativePath, nil
}
// Resolve relative path using library folders
return mh.libraryService.ResolveMediaPath(ctx, libraryID, relativePath)
}
```
---
## Phase 4: Update Download Handler to Use Relative Paths
### File: `internal/handlers/media.go`
#### Modify DownloadBook function
**Current code** (line 103-144):
```go
func (h *MediaHandler) DownloadBook(c echo.Context) error {
// ...
mediaItem, err := h.db.GetMediaItem(c.Request().Context(), pgBookUUID)
if err != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, map[string]string{"error": "book not found"})
}
if _, err := os.Stat(mediaItem.FilePath); os.IsNotExist(err) {
return c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, map[string]string{"error": "book file not found on disk"})
}
file, err := os.Open(mediaItem.FilePath)
// ...
}
```
**New code**:
```go
func (h *MediaHandler) DownloadBook(c echo.Context) error {
// ...
mediaItem, err := h.db.GetMediaItem(c.Request().Context(), pgBookUUID)
if err != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, map[string]string{"error": "book not found"})
}
// Resolve relative path to absolute filesystem path
fullPath, err := h.getFullFilePath(c.Request().Context(), mediaItem.LibraryID, mediaItem.FilePath)
if err != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, map[string]string{"error": "book file not found on disk"})
}
if _, err := os.Stat(fullPath); os.IsNotExist(err) {
return c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, map[string]string{"error": "book file not found on disk"})
}
file, err := os.Open(fullPath)
// ...
}
```

## Phase 5: Create Cover Image Endpoint (For Cases Needing Direct Access)
### File: `internal/handlers/media.go`

**Required imports** (add if not present):
```go
import (
"path/filepath"

"os"
"fmt"
)
```
### File: `internal/router/media.go`
#### Add route registration
**Location**: After existing media routes (around line 17)
**Location**: After existing media routes
```go
// Cover images
// Cover images - authenticated
protected.GET("/covers/:id", cfg.MediaHandler.GetCoverImage)
```
---
## Phase 3: Update Frontend to Use New Endpoint
## Phase 6: Frontend - No Changes Needed (SSR)
### File: `web/src/dashboard.ts`
The existing frontend code should work without modification:
#### Change 1: Update BookInfo type
- **dashboard.templ**: Uses `item.CoverImagePath` directly in SSR
- **dashboard.ts**: Uses `book.cover_image_path` from API response
- **bookshelf.ts**: Uses `book.cover_image_path` from API response
**Location**: Around line 230 (renderBookCard function)
**Note**: If covers don't load initially, it's because the handler needs to resolve the URL. The frontend code doesn't need to change - the backend just needs to provide usable URLs.
**Current code**:
```typescript
function renderBookCard(book: BookInfo): string {
const coverUrl = book.cover_image_path || "/static/placeholder-book.svg";
```
**New code**:
```typescript
function renderBookCard(book: BookInfo): string {
const coverUrl = book.media_item_id
? `/api/covers/${book.media_item_id}`
: "/static/placeholder-book.svg";
```
**Note**: This requires `BookInfo` to have `media_item_id` field. Check if it exists, or use a different field.
#### Change 2: Handle image load errors
The existing `onerror` handler should still work:
```typescript
<img src="${coverUrl}"
alt="${book.title}"
class="w-full h-full object-cover"
loading="lazy"
onerror="this.src='/static/placeholder-book.svg'">
```
### File: `web/src/bookshelf.ts`
**Location**: Around line 49
**Current**:
```typescript
${book.cover_image_path ?
`<img src="/covers/${book.cover_image_path}" alt="${book.title}" class="w-full h-48 object-cover rounded mb-2">` :
```
**New**:
```typescript
${book.media_item_id ?
`<img src="/api/covers/${book.media_item_id}" alt="${book.title}" class="w-full h-48 object-cover rounded mb-2">` :
```
### File: `web/src/custom-section-builder.ts`
**Location**: Around lines 365 and 495
Apply same changes as dashboard.ts.
If the endpoint responses include a resolved URL field (like `cover_url`), update the frontend to use that field. Otherwise, the existing `/api/covers/:id` endpoint can be used.
---
## Phase 4: Backward Compatibility (Optional - for existing data)
## Phase 7: Backward Compatibility
If existing database entries have absolute paths, create a database migration:
Handle existing absolute paths in database:
### File: `database/migrations/cover_paths.sql`
### Option A: Migration (One-time)
Create a script to convert existing absolute paths to relative paths using known library folder paths.
```sql
-- This migration converts existing absolute cover paths to relative paths
-- Run manually if needed for existing data
### Option B: Runtime Resolution (No migration)
Add backward compatibility in handlers:
-- Note: This is a template - adjust based on actual data
-- First, backup: CREATE TABLE media_items_backup AS SELECT * FROM media_items;
-- The conversion requires knowing the library folder paths
-- This is complex and may require manual intervention
-- Alternative: Just handle both cases in the resolveCoverPath function (already done in Phase 2)
```go
func (mh *MediaHandler) getFullFilePath(ctx context.Context, libraryID pgtype.UUID, relativePath string) (string, error) {
// Already absolute? Use as-is (backward compatibility)
if filepath.IsAbs(relativePath) {
return relativePath, nil
}
// Otherwise resolve as relative path
return mh.libraryService.ResolveMediaPath(ctx, libraryID, relativePath)
}
```
**Recommended**: Option B - no database migration needed, handles both old and new data.

## Get Cover Image
Retrieve the cover image for a media item. Requires authentication.
**Method:** GET
**Endpoint:** /api/covers/{id}
**Authentication:** Bearer token required
**Response:** Binary image data (JPEG, PNG, etc.)
**Status Codes:**
- 200: Success - returns image
- 400: Invalid media item ID
- 401: Unauthorized
- 404: Media item not found or cover doesn't exist
// TestCoverImageRelativePath_Integration tests that relative paths are stored correctly
func TestCoverImageRelativePath_Integration(t *testing.T) {
// Similar setup as above
// After scan, verify cover_image_path in database is relative (not absolute)
}
Note: Uses `media_item_id` from environment variables.
```
#### File: `bruno/media-items/Download Media Item.yml` (Update existing)
Update the existing file to document that it now handles relative paths:
```yaml

name: Download Media Item
type: http
seq: 1
http:
method: GET
url: '{{base_url}}/api/media-items/{{media_item_id}}/download'

docs: |-
## Download Media Item
Download a media item file (EPUB, PDF, CBZ, etc.) from Bookhoard server.
**Method:** GET
**Endpoint:** /api/media-items/{id}/download
**Authentication:** Bearer token required
**Path Resolution:** The handler resolves the relative file path stored in the
database against the library's configured folder(s) to locate the actual file.
**Backward Compatibility:** Supports both relative paths (new) and absolute
paths (legacy data).
**Response:** Binary file data with appropriate Content-Type header
**Status Codes:**
- 200: Success - returns file
- 400: Invalid media item ID
- 401: Unauthorized
- 404: Media item not found or file doesn't exist on disk
Note: Uses `media_item_id` from environment variables.

After implementation:
1. **Test new scan**: Add a new book with cover, verify:
- Database `file_path` is relative (e.g., `Author/Book/book.epub`)
- Database `cover_image_path` is relative (e.g., `Author/Book/cover.jpg`)
- GET `/api/covers/{id}` returns the image
- GET `/api/media-items/:id/download` returns the file
- GET `/api/covers/:id` returns the image
2. **Test existing data**: For items with absolute paths:
- GET `/api/covers/{id}` still works (backward compatibility)
- Downloads still work (backward compatibility)
- Cover images still work (backward compatibility)
3. **Test multiple folders**:
- Create library with 2 folders
- Add books to each folder
- Verify covers resolve correctly for each
3. **Test multiple mount points**:
- Library A with folder `/app/epubs`
- Library B with folder `/var/manga`
- Books in each resolve correctly
4. **Test frontend**:
- Dashboard shows cover images
- Bookshelf shows cover images
- Custom sections show cover images
- Downloads work
5. **Test mobile app** (future):
- Same JWT auth works for files and covers
---
## Flexibility for Users
Users can configure any mount point in docker-compose:
```yaml
services:
bookhoard:
volumes:
- ./epubs:/app/epubs # ebooks
- ./manga:/var/manga # manga
- ./comics:/media/comics # comics
```
The system stores relative paths, so it works with any configuration.
