I have bunch of textbooks, and a lot of lecture notes and notes from colleagues, all in PDF format. What is a good way to classify, manage, store, and read these PDF files? I am trying calibre-web, but it seems difficult to find applications to connect to it.

Not self-hosted so I doesn't really answer your question... However, if you're still a student consider the switch to Zotero.

Things you can self-host though, to make your books available everywhere, is some webdav sever to link your books directly to zotero and access them on every device.

If you're serious about book reading and study, nothing beats Zotero !

You can also actually not self-hosting the database but have your documents hosted on some WebDAV server you control.
