bookshelf looks like something you'd like. It doesn't seem to automatically index the files, but it does work without Calibre and has no UI. It only supports Epub though.
I don't know if it saves progress and I can't test it right now.
It actually has a ui. But it looks minimal enough. I'll try it.
can you tell me your testing with bookshelf? really curious with the ui and your opinion on it.
It doesn't support OPDS-PSE, which is the most common way of tracking progress.
I'm not aware that progress saving is a default feature of OPDS. There is some work being done in that direction, but I don't know of any server/app combinations that do that for ebooks. Apart from that, I'm relatively happy with kavita. It comes with a web UI though.
Kavita, same as Komga requires too much RAM.
Komga can track ebook reading progress, by converting them to images.
That sounds like a super inconvenient way of doing it
