I’ve been trying out Kavita as an ebook software, and I really like it so far, with one exception. Accounts are all local to the app, and there is no ability handle user accounts through their site, similar to how Plex does it. This means that every time I screw up and have to set up again over the years, my users will have to get new invites and make new accounts. When I mess up Plex and have to reinstall, I can just add new permissions for the users already linked to my account, which makes it easy to transition everyone to a new server with minimal impact to my viewers.

Before I fully commit to Kavita, is there any program out there for ebooks that has accounts managed through a central server rather than my local one?

    I use Calibre-Web and external auth. The auth headers are added by Authelia + Nginx which sit in front of it.

    Not exactly turn-key, but since I was already using Authelia, it was simple enough to switch from local accounts to external.
