aptalca/docker-rdp-calibre repository overview

THIS IMAGE IS DEPRECATED. PLEASE USE THE NEW IMAGE AT linuxserver/calibre.
In the new image, you can select the folder that contains your metadata.db as the library location.

⁠Calibre GUI and Server

Run the Calibre X app accessible in a web browser

⁠Install On unRaid:

On unRaid, install from the Community Repositories and enter the app folder location and the port for the webUI.

⁠Install On Other Platforms (like Ubuntu, Synology 5.2 DSM, etc.):

On other platforms, you can run this docker with the following command:

docker run -d --name="RDP-Calibre" -e EDGE="0" -e WIDTH="1280" -e HEIGHT="720" -v /path/to/config:/config:rw -e TZ=America/New_York -p XXXX:8080 -p YYYY:8081 aptalca/docker-rdp-calibre

⁠Setup Instructions

• Replace the variable "/path/to/config" with your choice of folder on your system. That is where the config and the library files will reside, and they will survive an update, reinstallation, etc. of the container.
• Change "XXXX" to a port of your choice, it will be the port for the main Calibre GUI
• Change "YYYY" to a port of your choice, it will be the port for the Calibre webserver
• If you would like to have the latest updates, change the EDGE variable to "1", and the container will update calibre to the latest version every time it is restarted
• If you'd like to change the resolution for the GUI, you can modify the WIDTH and HEIGHT variables
• IMPORTANT: On first start, select "/config" as the library location in the Calibre wizard
• Calibre webserver can be enabled from the calibre gui under Preferences/Sharing over the net. Port has to be set to 8081

You can access the GUI by pointing your web browser to http://SERVERIP:XXXX/#/client/c/Calibre⁠

You can access the Calibre webserver by pointing your web browser to http://SERVERIP:YYYY⁠

(Replace SERVERIP, XXXX and YYYY with your values)

⁠Advanced Features (only for docker pros)

⁠(Deprecated)Custom library location:

If you would like to change the library location you need to do a couple of things:

• First add a new mount point for the library location in the docker run command. Example: -v /path/to/library:/library:rw
• Then add an environment variable (LIBRARYINTERNALPATH) to specify the internal library location for the webserver. Example: -e LIBRARYINTERNALPATH="/library"
• When you fire up calibre the first time select your library location. Example: /library

⁠(Deprecated)Url Prefix for reverse proxy:

• Add an environment variable (URLPREFIX) to docker run to specify the url prefix for the webserver. Example: -e URLPREFIX="/calibre"
• To access the webserver, go to http://SERVERIP:YYYY/calibre⁠

⁠Changelog:

• 2017-06-24: LIBRARYINTERNALPATH and URLPREFIX variables are deprecated. They were required for the calibre webserver. The new webserver should be enabled from the calibre gui under Preferences/Sharing over the net. Port has to be set to 8081
• 2016-09-16: Remove X1-lock if exists, which prevents start up following an unclean shutdown
• 2016-09-15: Updated base to x11rdp1.3, which now supports clipboard through the left hand side menu (ctrl+alt+shift) - calibre updated to 2.67
