+ <main>
+ <p>
+ The Calibre library server is a great way to store your e-books.
+ It allows you to:
+ <li>Share your books with others.</li>
+ <li>Easily transfer your books between devices and access them from anywhere.</li>
+ </p>
+
+ <h2>Installation</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Install the Calibre package.
+ </p>
+
+ <pre><code>apt update && apt install calibre
+mkdir /opt/calibre</code></pre>
+
+ <p>
+ Either upload your existing library using <code>scp</code>. For example to <code>/opt/calibre/</code>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ On client:
+ </p>
+
+ <pre><code>scp -r ~/Documents/your_library root@example.org:/opt/calibre/</code></pre>
+
+ <p>
+ Or create a library and add a book to it.
+ </p>
+
+<pre><code>cd /opt/calibre
+calibredb add book.epub --with-library your_library</code></pre>
+
+ <aside>
+ <p>
+ For more information about the <code>calibredb</code> command see <code>man calibredb</code>.
+ </p>
+ </aside>
+
+ <p>
+ Add a new user.
+ </p>
+
+ <pre><code>calibre-server --manage-users</code></pre>
+
+ <h2>Creating a service</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Create a new file <code>/etc/systemd/system/calibre-server.service</code> and add the following:
+ </p>
+
+<pre><code>[Unit]
+Description=Calibre library server
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=root
+Group=root
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/calibre-server --enable-auth --enable-local-write /opt/calibre/your_library
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+</code></pre>
+
+ <p>
+ Issue <code>systemctl daemon-reload</code> to apply the changes.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Enable and start the service.
+ </p>
+
+<pre><code>systemctl enable calibre-server
+systemctl start calibre-server</code></pre>
+
+ <h2>A reverse proxy with Nginx</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Create a new file <code>/etc/nginx/sites-available/calibre</code> and enter the following:
+ </p>
+
+<pre><code>server {
+ listen 80;
+ server_name calibre.example.org;
+
+ location /calibre {
+ proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
+ proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+ proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
+ proxy_set_header X-Script-Name /calibre;
+ }
+}</code></pre>
+
+ <p>
+ Issue a Let's Encrypt certificate. <a href="certbot.html">Detailed instructions and additional information</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <pre><code>certbot --nginx</code></pre>
+
+ <p>
+ Now just go to calibre.example.org. The server will request a username and password.
