“Failed to create path /books/ (Permission denied)” error

Open your URL in a browser, and set a path to the /books directory which has to contain the metadata.db file used by Calibre to store information about all books in the library: Run a Docker container with Calibre, mount the library’s directory inside as /books: $ docker run -ti - name books -p 8083:8083 -v /data/nextcloud/app/data/setevoy/files/Books/CALIBRE/:/books technosoft2000/calibre-webĬheck if metadata.db is present: $ docker exec -ti books ls -l /books/metadata.db -rw-r - r - 1 xfs xfs 752640 Dec 13 07:51 /books/metadata.db Nosovskii drwxr-xr-x 4 Karr drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 Dec 13 07:55 Al_bier Kamiu … Calibre Web startĬheck the library’s directory under Nextcloud which will be used by our Calibre Web: $ ll /data/nextcloud/app/data/setevoy/files/Books/CALIBRE/ | head total 1212 drwxr-xr-x 3 Orlov drwxr-xr-x 7 Bielash drwxr-xr-x 3 Fomienko, G. NGINX + Let’s Encrypt set up already described in the Bitwarden: an organization’s password manager self-hosted version installation on an AWS EC2 post. and will use WebDAV from our phone to connect to the Nextcloud using Moon+ Reader.will mount a directory from the Nextcloud with Calibre’s library.run a Calibre Web instance in Docker - a web interface for a library.So, now I have my library itself is stored in a Nextcloud (see the Nextcloud: running in Docker Compose on Debian with Let’s Encrypt SSL post), and I’ll use the Moon+ Reader application on my Android devices as it can synchronize read position via WebDAV.Īlso, you can use Google Drive as a storage backend for Calibre Web, read the docs. The idea is to move away from storing books in Google Books and using its e-book reader on mobile and via a browser but still to be able to access my library from anywhere and to have a book’s reading position synchronization ability, as it is in the Google Books mobile and browser readers. I’m using Calibre for my e-books library management for many years, but until today always used its desktop version.Ī couple of days ago I found the Calibre Web project - the same library, working with the same database, but accessible via a browser.
