Setting up a Calibre library server

+ +
+

+ The Calibre library server is a great way to store your e-books. + It allows you to: +

  • Share your books with others.
    • +
  • Easily transfer your books between devices and access them from anywhere.
    • +

    + +

    Installation

    + +

    + Install the Calibre package. +

    + + 
    apt update && apt install calibre
+mkdir /opt/calibre
    + +

    + Either upload your existing library using scp. For example to /opt/calibre/ +

    + +

    + On client: +

    + + 
    scp -r ~/Documents/your_library root@example.org:/opt/calibre/
    + +

    + Or create a library and add a book to it. +

    + +
    cd /opt/calibre
+calibredb add book.epub --with-library your_library
    + + + +

    + Add a new user. +

    + + 
    calibre-server --manage-users
    + +

    Creating a service

    + +

    + Create a new file /etc/systemd/system/calibre-server.service and add the following: +

    + +
    [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
+
    + +

    + Issue systemctl daemon-reload to apply the changes. +

    + +

    + Enable and start the service. +

    + +
    systemctl enable calibre-server
+systemctl start calibre-server
    + +

    A reverse proxy with Nginx

    + +

    + Create a new file /etc/nginx/sites-available/calibre and enter the following: +

    + +
    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;
+    }
+}
    + +

    + Issue a Let's Encrypt certificate. Detailed instructions and additional information. +

    + + 
    certbot --nginx
    + +

    + Now just go to calibre.example.org. The server will request a username and password. +

    + + + calibre + + +

    + After login you will see something like this. +

    + + + calibre + + +
