My example Calibre yml file is below that. Check the enable box and click the save button.In the Destination field type /sym/data for the data share, or /sym/appdata for the appdata share.in Services/Symlinks click the blue + button.From your OMV GUI: In Storage/Shared Folders, copy your path to the SOURCE.Set ownership to your new home directory with sudo chown -R wayne:users /sym.

You can name it anything simple and easy to remember, and anything not already created, like sym: sudo mkdir /sym

From the command line create a new DESTINATION folder at '/'.

If you know of a tutorial, please let me know. Symbolic link from where, to where and why? I have searched repeatedly with no luck. I installed the symlinks plugin but there is no user manual that I can find so I'm not sure how to proceed. Or, keep it simple and just use your UID/GID for both (don't use root). It's good IT practice to run every service using it's own user id and since you want to access these same folders from calibre-web, I would use a group id that is common and make sure the folders have that group owner with write permission. You need to set permissions on those so they are writable by the UID/GID you used in the calibre compose text. If you did that then you can connect to the port from the web.Īs far as volumes go you need two folders created one for the config dir and one for the books location. If you used network_mode bridged then you need to map the calibre ports to the host. We need to see your compose file to understand what to tell you to do next. The log is mostly useless and the interface is so pathetic that other UI's like calibre-web have emerged. I use calibre too because there is nothing better, but it's total crap as far as software design goes. Printing rdpSaveScreen continuously to the log is normal :-). I have tried to hit calibre-web's page through the Clara's web browser but always face a 404 error.

does anyone use calibre-web with a Kobo? I have a Clara HD and am wondering how I can download by ebooks to it, preferably wirelessly.

do you set up a new user and password for calibre-web?.

Just a couple more questions about using calibre-web: After enabling the 'Upload books' option in calibre-web's admin config, I could upload PDFs, epubs and mobis. I entered /books as the database directory and everything worked as expected. the downloads folder will show up under the root folder) Create a subfolder of. However, I am concerned this will be too broad of a root folder and will cause other issues (e.g. I placed the metadata file in my /books directory before going to the calibre-web portal. Change Calibre to have /ebooks as the Docker path and the library name, then setup the root folder in Readarr as /data with a library of ebooks.

I had to delete the multiple calibre and calibre-web images in portainer and directories in my /appdata folder from my previous failed attempts at installing calibre-web and start with as clean of a slate as I could. I struggled for a while to get this to work but finally got calibre-web working without calibre proper and just this metadata file in place of an existing calibre database. Once it's accepted, log in w/ the default user and password (admin admin123) and start setting things up. Go back to the Calibre-web UI and enter /books for your database location, assuming you followed the recommended paths. empty extension (I done that to differentiate it from the backup of my actual database), and put it in your /books directory That's my google drive and it's a file called 'metadata.db.empty'Īs the name implies, it is an empty metadata file.ĭownload it, dump the. You've got calibre-web installed, so the rest is easy if you trust me. Or it seems that this problem can also be sloved by configuring the Nginx reverse-proxy config-files, but I don't know how to handle with it.Here's how initially set it up a long time ago, since I didn't already have a collection of ebooks in calibre. env, or in the server settings page, to sett as URL =. I have to add this non-standard port ( 8888) manually to the address, then the login page gets back.Īnd after I inputted the correct account&password, the URL will also losing the non-standard-port (redirecting to ).įor this case when I encountered in other server applications, there could be a URL settings in the configuration file like. When I login the Calibre-Web across my domain, the web will redirect to rather than.
