tsc --noEmit and oxlint web/src are now both clean; vp check passes.
- htmx: one canonical Htmx interface in shims.d.ts (ajax/process/trigger
per the htmx 2.x API). alpine.ts had a second, conflicting Window.htmx
declaration (TS2717) — removed; bookPicker/collections lose their
(window as any) escapes now that Window.htmx is properly typed.
- tsconfig lib ES2020 -> ES2021 + DOM.Iterable: replaceAll exists
(escapeHtml) and for..of over querySelectorAll results is legal.
Type-checking only — vite emits at esnext regardless.
- custom-section-builder: selectedBooks holds identity fields only;
typed as Pick<BookInfo, ...> instead of forcing partial API shapes.
The API-critical BookInfo contract is untouched.
- toast: real bug found by the type system — setup.ts passes 'warning'
but getToastConfig had no entry, so the warning toast threw TypeError
at runtime instead of displaying. Added the type + config. Uses
bg-yellow-500 (verified present in scanned templates => generated by
Tailwind); the one intentional behavior change in this commit.
- book-detail: instanceof narrowing replaces an as-cast; unused
AnnotationSource import removed.
- password_validation: explicit HTMLElement | null for the checklist
list (querySelector('ul') infers HTMLUListElement, conflicting with
the container-as-list branch).
- stats: tooltip parsed value typed via annotation (bar=scalar,
line={x,y}); dead getActiveRange() removed (was already tree-shaken
out of every bundle).
- library-switcher: onSwitch honestly typed void | Promise<void>
(series.ts passes a sync navigator).
- 20 unused catch bindings converted to optional catch binding.
Verification: fresh build is byte-reproducible; every chunk is
identical to the pre-fix build except main.js (instanceof narrowing,
regex fix, stats refactor), reader.js (destructure), and the shared
storage chunk (renamed — carries toast.ts). reader/main diffs audited
hunk-by-hunk against the intended edits.
Bookhoard
A modern self-hosted media library system built with Go, PostgreSQL, HTMX, and Tailwind CSS featuring universal cross-device sync, beautiful dark themes, and comprehensive media management.
✨ Why Bookhoard?
🔄 Universal Sync: Your reading position, bookmarks, highlights, and notes sync automatically between KOReader and the web - with native Kobo sync and mobile apps coming later.
📱 Multi-Library: Organize your ebooks, comics, and manga with per-library folders and smart collections.
🎨 Beautiful UI: 11 gorgeous dark themes with responsive design that works on any device.
🔒 Secure: JWT authentication, bcrypt password hashing, rate limiting, and no passwords on devices.
🚀 Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Podman (recommended) or Docker
- 5 minutes of your time
Installation
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://git.linuxhg.com/Bookhoard/bookhoard.git
cd bookhoard
# 2. Set up environment
cp .env.example .env
# Generate secure passwords (no special characters):
# JWT_SECRET: openssl rand -hex 32
# DBPASS: openssl rand -hex 16
# Edit .env with your generated values
# 3. Pull images and start the server
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
# Optionally pin a specific version: set IMAGE_TAG in .env (defaults to "latest")
# 4. Open your browser
open http://localhost:8765
The first user to register automatically becomes an admin.

💾 Network Storage (NAS / NFS / SMB)
Libraries on network mounts are supported for everyday use — serving, reading, progress, and annotation sync all work over the mount — with a few behaviors worth knowing:
- Outage hysteresis. When the mount drops, files miss one scan (marked missing, hidden) then a second (archived, still recoverable). When the mount returns — by path or by identical content elsewhere — everything is restored automatically: annotations, progress, and covers included.
- Retention purge. Archived items older than
ARCHIVE_RETENTION_DAYS(default 90,0= never auto-purge) are deleted for good by library scans, annotations included. A NAS offline longer than the retention window loses those books' metadata on return. - Deleting while the storage is down is refused. Deleting a book cascades its annotations, so deletes are rejected with a clear error while the item's library storage is unreachable. Archive the item instead, or retry when the mount is back.
- Watch mode does not fire on network mounts (inotify doesn't work over NFS/SMB). The periodic scan is the change detector.
- Latency — folder reachability checks are cached ~30s; large libraries on slow mounts will still feel slower than local disk.
🛠 Tech Stack
- Backend: Go 1.25+ with Echo framework
- Database: PostgreSQL 15+ with pgx v5
- Frontend: HTMX + Tailwind CSS + Templ
- Auth: JWT tokens with bcrypt password hashing
