Is it normal that Calibre Local OPDS is never detected automatically?

And needs to be edited manually every time I start the server? Even if both Calibre and Koreader are actually connected automatically I still have to edit the OPDS manually every time.

Nope. The settings should work unless the ip of the calibre host changed on your local network, which is unlikely, or you changed the port, username or password in calibre.

It looks like, in your case, the setting is never flushed, so there's no "calibre_opds" on your settings.reader.lua. It should look like

["calibre_opds"] = {
        ["host"] = "192.168.x.y",
        ["password"] = "",
        ["port"] = "8080",
    },
