🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Add location of the bookdrop-folder

📝 Detailed description

Add location of the bookdrop-folder to .env

💡 Why is this useful?

Instead of manually uploading each file through the interface, simply place your book files (.pdf, .epub, .cbz, etc.) into a designated Bookdrop folder.

Can you elaborate on that? What exactly do you want? Explain it in a way that someone who has never used this LXC before. ^^

Hello Micklesk,

I can not configure the location of the Bookdrop folder, not in .env file or webui.

Here an example for a docker-compose file:

services:
  booklore:
    ...
    volumes:
      - /your/local/path/to/booklore/data:/app/data
      - /your/local/path/to/booklore/books:/books
      - /your/local/path/to/booklore/bookdrop:/bookdrop  # Bookdrop directory

What is the folder for?
Instead of manually uploading each file through the interface, simply place your book files (.pdf, .epub, .cbz, etc.) into a designated Bookdrop folder. Booklore will automatically detect, analyze, and prepare them for import.
https://booklore-app.github.io/booklore-docs/docs/bookdrop/

I hope this makes things clear. Thank you

I created a PR to change that for new installs. If you want to keep your existing install add BOOKLORE_BACKDROP_PATH=/opt/booklore_storage/bookdrop in your .env file with nano /opt/booklore_storage/.env, create the folder with mkdir /opt/booklore_storage/bookdrop and then restart the servive with systemclt restart booklore

It doesn't seem to work unfortunately. I recently (last week) installed Booklore and the Bookdrop location was added in the .env file. The folder /opt/booklore_storage/bookdrop remains empty, changing it to another folder than that one also remains empty. I checked by uploading through the frontend. The uploads all end up in the /bookdrop folder. Putting .epub files in the bookdrop folder from the .env file doesn't pick them up in the UI when scanning it. Restarting the Booklore service has no effect.

Edit: checked the logs and it keeps referring to /bookdrop:

Sep 21 17:07:56 booklore java[21815]: 2025-09-21T17:07:56.154+02:00 INFO 21815 --- [booklore-api] [ main] c.a.b.s.b.BookdropMonitoringService : Starting bookdrop folder monitor: /bookdrop

The other variables in the .env file work correctly: when changing the database user for example it was immediately reflected in the log.

i am having the same issue with getting bookdrop to work. i tried systemclt restart and it says it isn't found

root@booklore:~# systemclt restart booklore
-bash: systemclt: command not found

I tried rebooting the lxc as well and nothing shows up in bookdrop, i have confirmed the files are in the correct folder

there should be books that Booklore uses to import. I can see the files from cli, but Booklore isn't scanning them

It's already an issue there. There is even a folder /bookdrop. I created a symlink and it does not work. It's an application issue not a script issue.

Using the script I got a folder /bookdrop (in the main folder).

When changing the .env file from BOOKLORE_BACKDROP_PATH=/opt/booklore_storage/bookdrop
to
BOOKLORE_BACKDROP_PATH=/bookdrop
and restarting the service everything works

I though I have read about this issue, but maybe I was wrong. For me your solution does not work. I opened an issue: https://github.com/booklore-app/booklore/issues/2240
