Optionally, to enable on-the-fly conversion from one ebook format to another when using the send-to-ereader feature, or during editing of ebooks metadata:
Download and install the Calibre desktop program for your platform and enter the folder including program name (normally /opt/calibre/ebook-convert, or C:\Program Files\calibre\ebook-convert.exe) in the field "calibre's converter tool" on the setup page.
Download Kepubify tool for your platform and place the binary starting with kepubify
in Linux: /opt/kepubify
Windows: C:\Program Files\kepubify

binary. Just include the environmental variableDOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/calibre-web:calibre
in your docker run/docker compose file. (x64 only)If you do not need this functionality then this can be omitted, keeping the image as lightweight as possible.
