@ -140,15 +140,10 @@ nohup python3 [path to calibre-web]cps.py -p /[path to calibre-web]instanceN.db
The command nohup puts the command to the background, so all instances can be started at once. Another option would be using several terminal windows. The final solution would be creating different service files for the different instances. All instances will be accessable afterwards with different port adresses like:\
127.0.0.1:8084 for instance1, 127.0.0.1:8085 for instance2 and so on. This procedure can also be used for windows with the usual adoptions (command console/batch programm instead of terminal, task planer instead of service script).
### How to backup Calibre-Web settings
All Calibre-Web data is stored in the app.db file. For google drive additional settings are stored in the gdrive.db, settings.yaml, gdrive_credentials and client_secrets.json. It's sufficent to backup this files to keep the settings. The calibre database has to be backuped seperatly.
### Registering
### Concurrent access (Calibre and Calibre-Web)
If calibre is started first, it normally blocks access to the metadata.db file and it's not possible to start calibre-web afterwards. If Calibre-Web is started first it's possible to access the metadata.db file via calibre later. If Calibre and Calibre-Web are changing book-metadata at the same time this can lead to unpredictable result.
### How to upload Covers in other formats than jpg
Other coverformats than jpg can be uploaded using the "upload from local drive" function on the edit book page. If "pillow" is installed, other file formats like png can be converted to jpg and used as cover.
