<header><h1>Setting up a Calibre library server</h1></header>
<nav></nav>
<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>
<aside>
<p>
You can change the port with the <code>--port</code> prefix. Additional information <code>man calibre-server</code>.
</p>
</aside>
<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;
client_max_body_size 64M; # to upload large books
server_name calibre.example.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}
}</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 an username and password.
