I pulled the binary from a Calibre install, tossed it into /config within the container, and pointed Calibre-Web to the path to it. It's still reporting as not installed. I consoled into the container to run "ebook-convert --version" to see if it was actually functional at all and it returned an error regarding missing modules. Does it require dependcies? Does Calibre as a whole have to be installed within the container? Does anyone have this working? I would like to grab the executable from Calibre and toss it into my Calibre-Web instance like this poster is talking about, but it doen't work. It seems that ebook-convert has some dependencies.

So, the ebook-convert files are installed by default into /usr/bin. All I needed to do was to add "/usr/bin/ebook-convert" into the Path to convertertool. So far so good. The About page shows that the binary is recognized, and it displays the version number (4.14.0). Unfortunately, when I try to convert a book, the process fails and displays a "Failed" status on the Tasks page.

May 26, 20206 yr I have installed Calibre-web successfully using docker and OpenMediaVault 5. I have an external drive connected with my books and the database created by Calibre desktop client. The library that Calibre created is in a folder called My Library. The database is called metadata.db and is in the root of that folder. I can’t figure out how to enter the path to the database on caliber-web. It says DB Location is not Valid, Please Enter Correct Path. I am not proficient with Linux commands and don’t know how to enter the path. Any help would be great! Thanks.

June 4, 20206 yr Anyone experiencing issues with 068 update and nginx? The update seems to have broke things for me. Doesn't look like an issue with the docker image so much as 068 as when I downgrade the container it works and then if I upgrade within the container it breaks again.

Same here, my reverse proxy isn't working anymore after the latest update. How did you go about downgrading the container if I may ask?

Issue is fixed if you do the following: remove proxy_set_header Host $http_host; from your calibre-web.subdomain.conf Instead of the above, just remove /nginx/proxy.conf and restart letsencrypt docker Edited June 8, 20206 yr by musicking New Info

I don't have an external reverse proxy but I do run letsencrypt inside of a container for ssl updates. I'm wondering of those readline or dialog errors are related to something. Any sort of direction to look would help. Two days ago all this was working fine. You are on the unraid support forum now. You are not using unraid, so post on our forum or join our discord for support.
July 31, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, mehappy said: now getting an error that it cant create the socket (permission denied). Wild shot in the dark, is the container running with privileged mode on?
August 1, 20205 yr 14 hours ago, mehappy said: Yes, same error regardless of if privileged or not. Why not just bookmark the address for the users? That is the easiest way to access it. I'm not sure why you post about Lazy librarian in a support thread for Calibre-web? The issue you are running into is that non root users can't bind a port below 1024. Almost all containers we have, runs the application as the abc user. You can also set up a reverse proxy for it.
August 3, 20205 yr Starting ebooks as a new project 🙂 Read through this thread and also Github, but not sure whether calibre-web can do what I am looking for. I have it largely workign with Ubooquity for now, but prefer to switch to Calibre-Web as I am starting to use more and more Calibre now. So, both in one hand seems better. About my setup: /books/comics [my comic libray, not managed by calibre, all nicely tagged crf files] /books/ebooks [my ebook library, managed by calibre] I have now setup calibre-web pointing to /books as library folder. Unfortunately, I don't get too far. Once I access the web gui, I am asked to enter the library confiiguration path. I cannot select anything. Any thoughts?

You need the database file from calibre and you should be able to to type that in the setup. So the folder you set in that setup screen must have the calibre database.
August 3, 20205 yr Thanks for your quick reply. Does this mean that calibre-web can only display books that are part of the calibre library? In this case, I may be better of to stay with ubooquity? I have my ebooks in calibre, but I do have my tagged comics in a separate folder (not in the calibre, but currently served through ubooquity).

You need a calibre database initially. After that, you can use calibre web to add books.
