making it more generic

[arabshapt]

Hi, this is really great! I wanted to use your project as a base for normal calibre server with built in Kindle Previewer(in wine).
How could make it more generic? Similar to this one: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/calibre
With only difference, that it has Kindle Previewer in wine.

Hello,

Glad to hear it's useful for you!

Can you please elaborate your use case more? I haven't used the mentioned image, so no idea what are the limitations of my image compared to it.

Also, note that Kindle previewer will only work on a 64 bit system.

Thank you for your response:)
I have the following use case. I am running calibre server in docker container. Here is how my current yml looks like:

version: '3.3'
services:
    linuxserver:
        container_name: calibre
        ports:
            - '8080:8080'
            - '8081:8081'
        environment:
            - PUID=1026
            - PGID=100
            - TZ=Europe/Berlin
            - CUSTOM_USER=something
            - PASSWORD=something
        volumes:
            - '/volume1/calibre/data:/config'
        restart: always

        image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/calibre

I typically use calibre on my pc to convert epub to kfx, but I would like to run calibre on my home server and access it through web ui(it looks exactly the same as desktop app) and for that I need Kindle previewer in docker container. The problem is that the image that I am using is different from what you are using. It would be great to have this ghcr.io/linuxserver/calibre extended by Kindle Previewer in Wine.

I think my question is similar to the original poster, can this be used as a drop-in replacement for the 'regular' docker calibre? I also use ghcr.io/linuxserver/calibre image, similar to above. As in, can I still access calibre webui, etc. with your image?

My current .yaml

services:
  calibre:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/calibre
    container_name: calibre
    env_file:
      - /opt/appdata/.id.env
      - /opt/appdata/.timezone.env
    volumes:
      - /mnt/media/media/books:/config #change before the ':'
      - /mnt/media/media/books/uploads:/uploads #change before the ':'
      - /mnt/media/media/books/plugins:/plugins #change before the ':'
    ports:
      - 8086:8080 #change before the ':' if necessary
      - 8087:8081 #change before the ':' if necessary
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - homelab
    security_opt:
      - apparmor:unconfined

and my use case is to manage my library via the calibre web-ui (IP:8086), auto-upload books, convert. Ideally, I'd like to convert books to KFX in the docker calibre container webui.

This enhancement was requested from the LinuxServer team, but they don't have a desire to add Wine to their image and rejected it. They suggested customizing their image instead, as recommended above. Rebasing this effort on top of their image would be fantastic as it would allow for automation around the KFX plugin, such as offering up automatically generated versions of news sites from the web UI that can be downloaded onto a Kindle from the experimental browser.
