calibre-server-docker

Docker container with calibre pre-installed.

Getting the image

You can pull it from https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/jlj7/calibre-server-docker or clone this repo and build it.

All you need is the Dockerfile.

Using your library

This container exposes the volumes /opt/calibre/library and /data, and the port 8080.

To allow calibre to run your library you have to mount it as a volume with -v /your/library/location:/opt/calibre/library.

Note that I've enabled basic authentication by default, as I share my library with friends; it expects the credentials in /data/users.sqlite. (You can create this file with the --manage-users option; see the server documentation for details.

To override this behaviour, simply pass your library on the command-line, as outlined just above.

Running the container

docker run -p 80:8080 -v /media/calibre/books:/opt/calibre/library -name calibre regueiro/calibre-server

From now on:

docker start calibre

You can pass arguments to calibre-server:

docker run -p 80:8080 -v /media/calibre/books:/opt/calibre/library -name calibre regueiro/calibre-server --username user --password pass
