Richard R 3a1dd41d91 refactor(build): update Dockerfiles for improved dependency isolation and workspace handling 
Remove legacy .npmrc config. Revise root and worker Dockerfiles to enhance
layer caching, explicitly copy only required build artifacts, and streamline
runtime dependencies. Switch to pnpm workspace-aware install for compute worker
to ensure correct dependency resolution. Set Next.js output to standalone mode
for optimized server builds. Update docker-compose sync targets for consistency.

📄🔊 OpenReader

OpenReader is an open source, self-host-friendly text-to-speech document reader built with Next.js for EPUB, PDF, TXT, MD, and DOCX with synchronized read-along playback.

Previously named OpenReader-WebUI.

Get started in the docs.

✨ Highlights

  • 🧱 Layout-aware PDF parsing with PP-DocLayoutV3 (ONNX) — structured block detection, cross-page stitching, and geometry-based highlighting for precise read-along sync.
  • ⏱️ Word-by-word highlighting via built-in ONNX Whisper alignment — no external dependencies, runs in-process (COMPUTE_MODE=local) or offloaded to a scalable NATS JetStream-backed worker (COMPUTE_MODE=worker).
  • ⚡ Segment-based read-along for EPUB, PDF, TXT, MD, and DOCX — sentence-aware TTS with cached audio segments, background preloading, and resumable playback.
  • 🎯 Multi-provider TTS — self-hosted OpenAI-compatible servers (Kokoro-FastAPI, KittenTTS-FastAPI, Orpheus-FastAPI) or cloud APIs (OpenAI, Replicate, DeepInfra).
  • 🎧 Audiobook export in m4b/mp3 with resumable chapter processing.
  • 🗂️ Flexible backend — embedded SeaweedFS or S3-compatible storage, SQLite or Postgres, server library import, and device sync.
  • 🐳 Self-host friendly — Docker (amd64/arm64), optional auth, and automatic startup migrations.
