- Add Phase 5: Cover image endpoint (consolidated from original)
- Add Phase 6: Frontend changes (no changes needed for SSR)
- Add Phase 7: Backward compatibility for absolute paths
- Add Phase 8: Unit and integration tests
- Add Phase 9: Documentation and Bruno API tests
- Include full code examples for each phase
- Document flexibility for docker-compose mount points
Add detailed implementation plan for fixing cover image serving to:
- Support multiple library folders in docker compose
- Keep covers with books using relative paths in database
- Serve images via authenticated API endpoint
Plan covers:
- Phase 1: Update scanner to store relative paths
- Phase 2: Create /api/covers/:id endpoint with auth
