This is the simple web-based front-end for ebookmaker found at https://ebookmaker.pglaf.org/

Clone this repo somewhere accessible to your web server.

Create a place for the ebookmaker output. This needs to be accessible from the web and writeable by the web server. A common location is ./cache/. ebookmaker-web will create a subdirectory for each upload in this location and the web server should be configured to show filesystem contents for these subdirectories (for Apache, Options Indexes). To prevent users from seeing the full list of subdirectories you can create an empty ./cache/index.htm file.

Install ebookmaker and its dependencies and make it accessible to run as the web server.

Configure ebookmaker-web by creating a config.php file in the base directory setting the following variables to match your environment.

<?php
// Directory to place ebookmaker output
$tmpdir = "/htdocs/ebookmaker/cache";

// URL to access ebookmaker output. $mybaseurl/cache/ should point to $tmpdir
// and be accessible from the web.
$mybaseurl = "https://ebookmaker.pglaf.org";

// Command to run ebookmaker
$prog = "/path/to/venv/bin/ebookmaker";

// Command to run HTML validator
$validator = "/usr/bin/java -jar /usr/local/bin/vnu.jar --verbose --stdout";

// tool versions to display to the user
$ebookmaker_version = "0.13.4";
$validator_version = "24.7.30";
$epubcheck_version = "5.2.1";

Create a crontab to clean up the contents of $tmpdir, periodically deleting directories and files older than a certain period of time (eg 3 days). For example,

10 5 * * * /usr/bin/find /data/htdocs/ebookmaker/cache/ -maxdepth 1 -ctime +3 -type d -print | /usr/bin/xargs /bin/rm -rf {} \;
