Can you please suggest me an online book management system in PHP and MySQL, which I can host in my own Linux server? Preferably open source.
I do not intend to upload or store the ebooks but only the metadata. I want to store books details (as author, cover, genre, ISBN and description.. etc) in a database system(as mysql) to catalog, list and search them from a web platform(based on PHP for example).
If possible import details from Amazon or other sites. But this is optional.
I do not want a library management system, but a book management system. If such software doesn’t exist, can you please suggest any other alternatives?
I'm not looking for a specific website though; but something that can be hosted on a server.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I apologize for any misunderstanding. But, English is not my mother language; So you'll probably find some mistakes.

Have a look at COPS or
OPDSgen.
The OPDS Format is promoted to represent book metadata.

I am not sure why you would need to run this on a web server; if it is just for backup reasons and distributed access I would just push the folder in one of the common online storage solutions like Dropbox or similar.
Calibre can be run as a server itself and offer the files in its library via a web interface. You can then access the files via the web browser of your reader. It works, but if you have access to a computer where you can use Calibre directly I think it is much more practical by several orders of magnitude.
But your specifications are not specific enough to tell if this solution fits your needs.
Google Play Books allows you to upload your own books so you could use this for synchronisation and distributed access also.
