PS. I have installed Calibre Desktop on my PC's and the configuration points to a folder in my Dropbox. Then I install Dropbox on unRAID and have the Calibre docker point to the dropbox folder. I assume you could setup your Calibre from Windows or Mac and have it point to an unRAID cache-only share and then add you book collection.

 

Point is, you need to first get and add books to your collection from within a Desktop version of Calibre that can be seen by unRAID.

I must be missing something or doing something wrong. I certainly appreciate all your help as I continue to learn. I am starting fresh, so I don't have an existing Calibre installation or library.

 

My plan (and perhaps poorly conceived) is to have a Calibre docker running the server/library on unRAID that I would then access from the desktop clients. The desktop clients would be able to place new books into a shared folder on unRAID (/downloads) and the cron running in the docker would import them into the central library, storing the books on protected storage on unRAID and accessible to the other clients for import onto their devices.

 

After installing the docker I expected to have the Calibre server and the configuration files installed to /opt/calibre (mapped to /mnt/cache/appdata/calibre/ in my case) and the library/database file installed to /config (mapped to /mnt/user/Media/Books/Calibre/). When I look in these folders on my unRAID server I don't see any files. Did I miss some steps somewhere? Do I have to install a desktop version of Calibre first and point the configuration and library paths to my unRAID shares?

Yes, this is what I did. In fact, I have been running Calibre on Desktop for ages... then I moved the data to a Dropbox so I could update from home and work computers, then I did the unRAID Calibre server Docker recently. I cannot recall that Calibre server does the library creation. I think its only meant to web serve your library.

@hernandito  I don't know if this is the correct place to ask, but the link for your MineOS docker "support" takes me to this thread.

 

I am looking to get java 8 updated and am not familiar with dockers to do it myself. Could you point me in the right direction.. or update the docker?

 

Thanks for your great work! I have been using MineOS via your docker and love it.. just time for a new modpack that required java 8.

I just changed the 7 to an 8... its rebuilding now. If all goes well, you should be able to upgrade from your Docker screen. Otherwise, I have no clue what to do... I copied this from someone and adapted it to unRAID. Stay tuned....

 

 

Somehow Docker is finding errors and will not let me compile what should compile. Let me see if I can go back. I just changed one little number.

thanks for helping me out! lemme know if / how i can help

Well. Looks like Docker hub has changed something and it wont build what it built a few months ago. I am getting error that I cannot resolve.

 

If anyone knows what could be wrong, I would love some input. Here is the link to my Dockefile on github.

 

https://github.com/hernandito/docker-mineos/blob/master/Dockerfile

 

 

These are the steps to follow to manually upgrade to java 8... it will take a little time to update everything.

 

Log into the MineOS Docker by:

 

docker ps

 

Make note of the container ID for MineOS... then type:

 

  docker exec -t -i ID_Code-Here /bin/bash

 

This should place you inside the container. Then type all the commands below:

java -version

 

You should get something like this.

 

java version "1.7.0_x0"

 

The 7 I guess is java 7. So we want to upgrade.

 

export TERM=xterm
apt-get install default-jre
apt-get install default-jdk
apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties

add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
apt-get update
apt-get install -y oracle-java8-installer
apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

 

Finally type again to confirm java version:

 

java -version

 

It should hopefully be on Java v.1.8. x Please try and let me know... also let me know if the modpack works. I am not using MineOS for now as my son is off Minecraft for the moment.

 

Thanks.

Getting this message after

Not sure if that is a real concern, however this step and im stuck.

response ...

 

bash: add-apt-repository: command not found

oh boy.... Try the entire thing again... sometimes repositories are down... you need the

        apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties

to work well before you can add a repository... in fact, try running an

      apt-get update

      apt-get upgrade

before you start the whole series of commands again.

java version "1.8.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

 

 

BINGO  You got it!

 

I'll test the new mod pack this weekend and report back in. Thanks so much.

Awesome... I am still trying to rebuild the Docker with the Java 8 added. I do need your help letting me know if everything runs OK. As I mentioned, I am not a Minecraft expert, and my son has enough school work, music classes, and sports to keep him busy.

Looks like it is now running the mod successfully with Java 8 installed. I am currently testing FTB Infinity 1.10.1 and FTB Horizons Daybreaker 1.2.0

 

I'll be sure to report if anything changes.

Hi hernandito,

 

I have just installed this via community apps and it says it is called ubooquity? But I cannot find it anywhere?  The /config has a host path of /mnt/appdata/Ubooquity/ but it is not there. I've searched the entire server and it is no where.

 

Any ideas?

Ubooquity is not mine... what did you search for in community apps?

Your version of Calibre, the support link sent me here lol

If you look, I think you're trying to install hernandito's template for Hurricane's Ubooquity container..

 

I suspect it's in his github for his own personal use.. 

Nope, just double checked. The plugin is listed as his and the support thread sent me here. Anyway not a problem. It's working now!

Sorry guys... I must have forked Uboquity.... I will remove it and nzbget from my repo right away....

When you do, could you please update your original post with screenshots?

Is there any way to get the MineOS docker to update the WebUI so I can use the newer features?  I have tried about everything I can think of.  I tried the commands inside the container from http://minecraft.codeemo.com/mineoswiki/index.php?title=Updating_the_Webui_%28python%29:

 

both:

cd /usr/games/minecraft

git fetch
git merge origin/master

and

cd /usr/games/minecraft

git fetch
git reset --hard origin/master
chmod +x server.py mineos_console.py

 

All that does is make my WebUI stop responding and on the rare instance where I got it to briefly work, it didn't seem to change anything.

 

I started down the path of making my own docker, but I've pretty much stalled out.  You can see the thread I started for that at http://discourse.codeemo.com/t/creating-mineos-node-in-a-docker/896.  Any help anybody can provide with that would be appreciated too, even if I get hernandito's docker working, I want to finish my own for my own education. 

 

 

Thought I would try this out. What is the Web UI's default user name?

 

Thanks, Kenny.

its "minecraft" but I seem to recall you have to set that as a variable when installing the docker
