June 1, 20188 yr I've been using for a while, but recently when I try to use 'send to kindle' I get a 504 Gateway Time-out error. Is anyone else having problems?

June 11, 20188 yr I am installing this docker and when i launch the UI it goes to /config and asks for database location. Is this a pre-defined path, or do i just put in where i want. No matter what i try, i get a 403 forbidden error and this in the logs.

Do you have a metadata.db file in /mnt/user/media/e-Books that's been created by your calibre app/docker? I think I have the second path from when I created myself - for some reason it's down as required. I'm going to leave it alone as I don't want to miss up the history of users.
June 11, 20188 yr Just went back to the WebUI and refreshed it, now its presenting a login. is there default login?
June 11, 20188 yr 7 minutes ago, unsainted said: Yes, I see the metadata.db file there. Its 0KB that's probably your problem. Add some books to your library using your calibre app/docker and I think your problems will go away. You do have calibre running somewhere else right? This docker is just a nice ui sits on top - you still have to run calibre somewhere else.
June 11, 20188 yr Ah gotcha, thats probably my issue then, I thought this was all self-contained. is there a calibre docker you would recommend?
June 11, 20188 yr I use the RDP-Calibre docker and the linuxserver lazylibrarian docker. It's a shame that books aren't as well supported as say movies or TV shows. Hopefully somebody will build a sonarr based service for books - it's a real pity that the lazylibrarian guys based their service on headphones rather than sonarr.

July 3, 20188 yr Notice Recommend you all update to the latest container version due to the discovery of a vulnerability.
October 27, 20187 yr Hi, When I try to use advanced search I get the following error. I'm trying to utilise the custom columns I have in calibre and saw that you need advanced search to use them. Regards, Bilal Yassine
November 25, 20187 yr First of all, I would like to extend a thanks for this wonderful docker. I wanted a nice way to share my library with friends and family, and this fits the bill with elegance, however, I seem to be stuck with one aspect of the docker -- the E-book converter. I am utilizing the RDP-Calibre docker from aptalca to manage my library, and this Calibre-Web docker configured through a reverse-proxy using Letsencrypt. Since I and family members have KIndle's, I would like the ability to convert my Epubs to mobi and email directly from Calibre-web instead of doing through RDP-Calibre. Under Calibre-Web Basic configuration, there are settings for External binaries with the following options: I initially tried to use calibre's ebook converter as I assumed it would be included in the docker but unless I'm mistaken, could not find it installed. I bashed into the docker and looked everywhere. I even tried to install the calibre package following the directions on this page to no avail. I thought I was close following the manual installation instructions below but could not install the "calibre_postinstall" executable, which I'm assuming installs the dependencies required to get Calibre's bundled "ebook-convert" binary to work. mkdir -p /opt/calibre && rm -rf /opt/calibre/* tar xvf /config/calibre-3.34.0-x86_64.txz -C /opt/calibre && /opt/calibre/calibre_postinstall At this point, I gave up and figured I'd download kindlegen from Amazon and give it a whirl. From the docker bash shell I am able to run it with no issues, but when I click on edit metadata for a given Epub book, the convert options are not there. If I select use calibre's ebook converter again, they show up even though I don't have a working "ebook-convert" binary -- go figure. I also noticed the following kindlegen status error when I clicked about and I don't know why as the kindlegen binary seems to run fine when bashed into the docker. I'll admit that I'm not a linux expert and could be missing something obvious, and I'm hoping that's the case as would love to get this working Many thanks in advance for any ideas/guidance Edited November 25, 20187 yr by phorse
December 22, 20187 yr @phorse Here's what I did to get the kindlegen binary working. 1. Downloaded tarball from https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000765211 to the docker config folder. 2. Untar'ed it and removed everything from it except for `kindlegen` 3. `chmod 777 kindlegen` 4. `chown nobody:users kindlegen` 5. Changed the external binary's path to /config/kindlegen 6. Confirmed tool showing up in info page Hopefully that gets it working for you. I tested the convert and send feature to my email and it worked fine. Good luck.

I feel so foolish as all I needed to do was supply the full path to the executable, including the executable name, rather than simply supplying the path where the kindlegen executable was located Thanks again!
January 27, 20197 yr I've got what I think is everything setup between LazyLibrarian and Calibre-Web but I seem to be at a loss for Calibre-Web to notice an updated book. LazyLibrarian deposits the book in the same folder that Calibre is looking at but I don't see an option to "update" Calibre to reflect the new book. Unless I'm blind, which I'm open to being.

March 9, 20197 yr Has anyone received an internal server error when selecting a menu category? I am getting the below error when I select author, series or category. I have tried rebuilding the database with no luck and it works fine in calibre. Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.
