Have they made it easy to install and run your own Zotero server?

If I remember correctly, Zotero server has good API the client don't have. But you get the impression that they don't want anyone to have their own Zotero server.

I've been using the beta and absolutely love it.

The addition of epubs means I can read, cite, annotate and organise anything I'm reading in one place.

I really appreciate the work the team have done here. The last two releases in particular have felt like massive leaps forward.

Great piece of software!

Question: would Zotero be good as a kind of "digital library"? Like nextcloud but for books. I often buy PDFs and books but they just end up on a file share, way less useful than my actual bookshelf. I mean as an alternative to something like calibre (which I don't particularly like). Also, is zotero open source?

That's no.

I've been using Zotero 7 beta for months. It's absolutely exceptional. It has all the features I need. It just works. It syncs all my data across my devices seamlessly. It ingests and parses and renames all my PDFs and paper URLs perfectly. I I can easily cite papers in Word and Google Docs and markdown with pandoc. I can annotate PDF highlights and do full text search. Zotero is a huge time saver and I couldn't live without it.

I had been trying to use it from time to time for the past 15 years and it was never good enough for me. The UI was also too dated for my taste. Zotero 7 finally nails it. Congrats and huge thanks to the developers!
