2. Execute the command: `python cps.py`
3. Point your browser to `http://localhost:8083` or `http://localhost:8083/feed` for the OPDS catalog 

**Default admin login:**    
*Username:* admin   
*Password:* admin123

## Runtime Configuration Options

`PUBLIC_REG`    
Set to 1 to enable public user registration.    
`ANON_BROWSE`    
Set to 1 to allow not logged in users to browse the catalog.    
`UPLOADING`    
Set to 1 to enable PDF uploading. This requires the imagemagick library to be installed.    

## Requirements

Python 2.7+
     
Optionally, to enable on-the-fly conversion from EPUB to MOBI when using the send-to-kindle feature:     

[Download](http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000765211) Amazon's KindleGen tool for your platform and place the binary named as `kindlegen` in the `vendor` folder. 

## Docker image

Calibre Web can be run as Docker container. The latest image is available on [Docker Hub](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/janeczku/calibre-web/).

## Reverse Proxy

Reverse proxy configuration examples for apache and nginx to use calibre-web:

nginx configuration for a local server listening on port 8080, mapping calibre web to /calibre:

```
http {
    upstream calibre {
        server  127.0.0.1:8083;
    }
    server {
            location /calibre {
                proxy_bind              $server_addr;
                proxy_pass              http://127.0.0.1:8080;
                proxy_set_header        Host            $http_host;
                proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header        X-Scheme        $scheme;
                proxy_set_header        X-Script-Name   /calibre;
        }
    }
}
```

Apache 2.4 configuration for a local server listening on port 443, mapping calibre web to /calibre-web:

The following modules have to be activated: headers, proxy, proxy_html, proxy_http, rewrite, xml2enc.
```
Listen 443

<VirtualHost *:443>

           ProxyPass            http://127.0.0.1:8083/
           ProxyPassReverse     http://127.0.0.1:8083/  
           Header edit Location "^http://(.*?)/" "https://$1/calibre-web/"
