Anna's Archive, an open-source search engine for shadow libraries like Sci-Hub, Libgen, and Z-Library that aims to catalog all books in existence. Via TorrentFreak.
The Internet Archive books collection. Very varying quality, some only for lending (via libraries), not download.
Open Library, an open, editable library catalog by the Internet Archive. I'm not sure how it relates to IA's book collection.

Calibre, the software for managing all aspects of your ebook library. Created by Kovid Goyal, maintained by hundreds of contributors. Project repo.
For a full-fledged web interface to your Calibre library, look no further than Calibre-web. Just like Calibre's built-in server, Calibre-web also supports OPDS, which makes it easy to integrate with mobile apps such as Librera Reader.
COPS, a Calibre PHP OPDS server. A less-powerful alternative to Calibre-web, in my opinion. But it served me well for some time before I discovered Calibre-web.

Recently discovered Thorium Reader. Works very nicely on the Linux desktop and connects to our Calibre-Web OPDS server. My Ansible role.

Foliate is another nice desktop ebook reader. My Ansible role.

For reading on Android I use Librera Reader.
