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. Calibre-Web is an eBook viewer which uses an existing Calibre database to pull content.
