Calibre-Web README
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Calibre-Web server provides a clean interface for browsing, reading and
|
|
downloading e-books using an existing Calibre database. This Ansible role
|
|
installs Calibre-Web in Internet-in-a-Box (we'll call it "calibre-web"
|
|
from here on down, noting that calibreweb_* variables do not include the dash!)
|
|
|
|
Access
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
After installation you can access calibre-web at `http://box:8083` or
|
|
`http://box/calibre-web` (in future we may consider `http://box/books`).
|
|
You can log in with administrative account:
|
|
|
|
Username: Admin
|
|
|
|
Password: changeme
|
|
|
|
If the default configuration is not found, calibre-web server creates a
|
|
new settings file with calibre-web's own default administrative account:
|
|
|
|
Username: admin
|
|
|
|
Password: admin123
|
|
|
|
Backend
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
You can manage the backend calibre-web server manually with these commands:
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable calibre-web
|
|
|
|
systemctl start calibre-web
|
|
|
|
systemctl status calibre-web
|
|
|
|
systemctl stop calibre-web
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
To configure calibre-web, first login as 'Admin'. Then select 'Configuration'
|
|
under the admin panel.
|
|
|
|
The default calibre-web settings are stored under
|
|
'/library/calibre-web/config/app.db' database file. The calibre-web stores
|
|
its eBook information in calibre database '/library/calibre-web/metadata.db'
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Reinstalling calibre-web automatically upgrades to the latest version.
|
|
Please back up your configuration before reinstalling. To retain your
|
|
configuration, set `calibreweb_provision` variable to False.
|
|
|
|
You can manually upgrade using 'git' command:
|
|
|
|
$ cd /opt/calibre-web
|
|
|
|
$ sudo git pull
|
|
|
|
Backup Your Content
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
calibre-web stores e-books and various configuration settings under
|
|
/library/calibre-web. Please back up this folder before upgrading. Also set
|
|
variable `calibreweb_provision` to False before upgrading, to prevent the
|
|
Provision script from overwriting your settings.
|
|
|
|
Known Issues
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Trying to access an empty public bookshelf causes a system error.
|
|
|
|
As of August 2018, calibre-web doesn't include Calibre's e-book conversion
|
|
functionality (Calibre itself allows teachers to convert between PDF, epub, txt
|
|
etc — to permit reading on a wider array client devices and client software).
