It is good practice to create a new user that is used exclusively for running the container. For the container to run properly and to access and modify the directories, it must be given user permissions. If this is not done, your machine may use a random port each time and cause confusion.Įnvironment is where variables are set that are needed to allow the container to run.

Local Port needs to be changed from Auto to the matching Container Port. This should be left to the default value since Calibre-web will be looking for this port. Port settings are used to open the container within a browser. If you already setup LazyLibrarian using this tutorial then the books directory has already been created. Use /config to mount the folder for Calibre-web’s configuration files, and /Media to mount the folder which contains the eBook library, as well as Calibre’s database (metadata.db).

Click Add Folder to begin mounting each path. These folders all need to be created prior to setting up the container so that they can be browsed to and mounted. Use your servers IP address followed by the container’s port number 8083. Within the Advanced Settings, enable auto-restart, and create a shortcut on desktop (if that interests you). Start out by giving the container a name and then clicking Advanced Settings. Launch the container to begin configuring it.

Once you find the one you would like, select it and click download it.Īfter it’s done downloading, it will move into the Image tab. We prefer LinuxServer’s automatic builds. Once Docker has been installed, run it and navigate to the registry tab to search for Calibre-web. Once that resource has been added, search the package center for Docker. If you’re on a Synology device, this can be done by going to Package Center > Settings > Package Sources and adding. Setting up Calibre-web is really simple once you have Docker installed.

User management with per-user permissions.

We do not run the stand alone version of Calibre, but instead use a build of LazyLibrarian which has Calibre built in. In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001.Calibre-Web is an eBook viewer which uses an existing Calibre database to pull content. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will 'just work' ™. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Sometimes when using data volumes ( -v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container.

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it calibre-web /bin/bash.

-e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation.

-e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation.

-v /books - where your calibre database is located.

-v /config - where calibre-web stores it's database.

So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side.
