# <img src="web/static/favicon.svg" width="32" alt="Bookhoard logo"> 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

# 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
