You got any more specific info on how to do this? I spun up my caliber web container on my home server, but once I realized you can’t download books over the wifi, you still had to connect to a PC, I stopped hosting it.
What ebook readers are capable of this magic?
Any Kobo can install KOReader with a minor firmware update (that only needs to be done once). There’s instructions here: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kobo-devices It supports OPDS out of the box (though IMO is a little unintuitive to use)
koreader is an android app, for e-book readers based on android.

from what I've read it can be installed on the kobo (may need root)
here's a picture of how to set up koreader

the only thing to mind is that the opds address is not the calibre web one but
<calibre address>/opdsif I'm not wrong.Also my calibre web does have a download button for the ebooks so if there is a browser on the kobo you should be able to download them. Are you using "calibre web" or "calibre" web?
