BicBucStriim streams books, digital books. It was primarily designed to fill a gap in the functionality of NAS devices that provide access to music, videos and photos -- but not books. BicBucStriim fills this gap and provides web-based access to your e-book collection.
BicBucStriim is a simple PHP application that runs in a PHP environment provided by the NAS. It assumes that you manage your e-book collection with Calibre. The application reads the Calibre data and publishes it in HTML form. To access the e-book catalog you simply point your ebook reader to your NAS, select one of your e-books and download it.
For a very long time BicBucStriim supported older PHP versions up to PHP 7.2. The current development version (2.0.0-alpha.X) in this repository breaks with that and requires PHP 7.4 and higher. This is mostly due to the requirements of updated dependencies. If you can't update your environment accordingly, you should use the older app versions, the last one being 1.5.0.
The purpose of alpha versions 2.0.0-alpha.X is primarily testing. They are incomplete and contain probably migration bugs. You should not use them to manage your book collection.
has an admin GUI for configuration
no support for Calibre's virtual libraries
TBD
For older versions (PHP 7.2): Download an installation archive. These are stable releases with a reduced footprint, unnecesary files are removed.
If you encounter problems, use the installation test to check your environment. Invoke this test by navigating to http://<NAS address>/bbs/installcheck.php. This test checks for certain problems, which users experienced in the past.
BicBucStriim publishes Calibre libraries via a web server, so it requires some modules to be pre-installed on your machine. The required modules are common ones for NAS, however you should check first if your device supports them:
