README.md

Short Notice from the maintainer

After 6 years of more or less intensive programming on Calibre-Web, I need a break. The last few months, maintaining Calibre-Web has felt more like work than a hobby. I felt pressured and teased by people to solve "their" problems and merge PRs for "their" Calibre-Web. I have turned off all notifications from Github/Discord and will now concentrate undisturbed on the development of “my” Calibre-Web over the next few weeks/months.
I will look into the issues and maybe also the PRs from time to time, but don't expect a quick response from me.

Calibre-Web

Calibre-Web is a web app that offers a clean and intuitive interface for browsing, reading, and downloading eBooks using a valid Calibre database.

Note: Raspberry Pi OS users may encounter issues during installation. If so, please update pip (./venv/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip) and/or install cargo (sudo apt install cargo) before retrying the installation.

Refer to the Wiki for additional installation examples: manual installation, Linux Mint, Cloud Provider.

Quick Start

  1. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8083 or http://localhost:8083/opds for the OPDS catalog
  2. Log in with the default admin credentials
  3. If you don't have a Calibre database, you can use this database (move it out of the Calibre-Web folder to prevent overwriting during updates)
  4. Set Location of Calibre database to the path of the folder containing your Calibre library (metadata.db) and click "Save"
  5. Optionally, use Google Drive to host your Calibre library by following the Google Drive integration guide
  6. Configure your Calibre-Web instance via the admin page, referring to the Basic Configuration and UI Configuration guides

Default Admin Login:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin123

Requirements

  • Python 3.5+
  • Imagemagick for cover extraction from EPUBs (Windows users may need to install Ghostscript for PDF cover extraction)
  • Optional: Calibre desktop program for on-the-fly conversion and metadata editing (set "calibre's converter tool" path on the setup page)
  • Optional: Kepubify tool for Kobo device support (place the binary in /opt/kepubify on Linux or C:\Program Files\kepubify on Windows)

Docker Images

Pre-built Docker images are available in the following Docker Hub repositories (maintained by the LinuxServer team):

LinuxServer - x64, aarch64

  • Docker Hub

  • GitHub

  • GitHub - Optional Calibre layer

    Include the environment variable DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:universal-calibre in your Docker run/compose file to add the Calibre ebook-convert binary (x64 only). Omit this variable for a lightweight image.

    Both the Calibre-Web and Calibre-Mod images are automatically rebuilt on new releases and updates.

    • Set "Path to Calibre Binaries" to /usr/bin
    • Set "Path to Unrar" to /usr/bin/unrar
