If you want to read the book on your reader, connect the reader to the computer, wait till calibre detects it (10-20 seconds) and then click the “Send to device” button. Click the “View” button to read the book. Once it’s finished spinning, your converted book is ready. The little icon in the bottom right corner will start spinning. Ignore all the options for now and click “OK”. Just select the book you want to convert then click the “Convert books” button. When first running calibre, the Welcome wizard starts and will set up calibre for your reader device. In order to do that you’ll have to convert the book to a format your reader understands. Once you’ve admired the list of books you just added to your heart’s content, you’ll probably want to read one. Once you’ve added the books, they will show up in the main view looking something like this: Drag and drop a few e-book files into calibre, or click the “Add books” button and browse for the e-books you want to work with. What do you do now? Before calibre can do anything with your e-books, it first has to know about them.

#CALIBRE SERVER WINDOWS#

It is cross platform, running on Linux, Windows and macOS.

#CALIBRE SERVER DOWNLOAD#

It can download newspapers and convert them into e-books for convenient reading. It can go out to the Internet and fetch metadata for your books. It can also talk to many e-book reader devices. It can view, convert and catalog e-books in most of the major e-book formats. Enter and save /books to point to your library.Calibre is an e-book library manager. The landing page should be ‘Basic configuration’.

#CALIBRE SERVER INSTALL#

The stack should deploy, after several minutes the Calibre Web should be up at It takes some time to intially install and boot the web server.

Press ‘Deploy the stack’ at the bottom of the page NOTE: I found Calibre Web did not like directory names with a space even with quotes or an escape character, so I changed ‘Calibre Library’ to Calibrelibrary. My example shows folders that will be in the ‘Share’ directory of HA. Change your PUID,GUID,and TZ (you can google the TZ list for your time zone) as necessary.Ĭhange your :/config and :/books (ie where your Calibre Library of books is on HA) directory to your. mnt/data/supervisor/share/Calibrelibrary:/books mnt/data/supervisor/share/Calibrewebconfig:/config DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/calibre-web:calibre Give the stack a name, then paste in the following into the Web editor window:

‘Use the Web editor should be selected’.

Go to the Portainer Web GUI and select ‘Stacks’ from the menu bar, then ‘Add Stack’.

Mine were both 0, but this may not be every case. I did this by going to the SSH add-on Web GUI and entering “id $user”.

As the documentation says: Disable Protection Mode and restart it. Backup with a snaphot in HA and download it just in case. Here is what I did if anyone is trying the same: I had been mean meaning to investigate Portainer and now have a Calibre Web container working under it (pending some time to see if it’s stable). Recently the add on has been stuck in a boot loop on the latest HA version on my machine and I was not able to debug it. I use Calibre Web all the time running in Homeassistant on my Pi 2.

#CALIBRE SERVER PC#

As a workaround I have mounted the share directory on my PC and use Rsync to mirror the two libraries so that when I add or read a book on one side it eventually matches up on the other side. Calibre on my PC won’t use the share directory as the main library as it sees the share directory as corrupt.

#CALIBRE SERVER UPDATE#

Within the admin section of the add-on you can update to the latest version of Calibre Web, although it will revert if you restart the Rpi. I have 20 GB of books on a 64GB SD card in an Rpi 2. This add-on is really the missing piece for my Hassio setup. When I entered /share/calibre (with a leading slash) it all worked fine. This did connect and gave me the listings, but no cover images or download capability. When the Calibre Web addon (on the page hassio address”:8083 if you use port 8083) asks for the location of the Calibre library folder I entered the path as share/calibre (ie no leading slash using the share directory and a folder named calibre holding the books). When I was setting mine up I found a slight directory syntax issue.
