Docker Compose Readium LCP Server

Minimal Docker Compose setup for running a Readium LCP server (EDRLab) alongside a file encrypter for the LCP encryption format.

The LCP server handles DRM and license distribution. The encrypter encrypts EPUB/PDF files by making proper Readium LCP POST requests to the server.
