About

Simple docker image for calibre-web

Calibre-Web is a web app providing a clean interface for browsing, reading and downloading eBooks using an existing Calibre database.

Several docker images exists for this application, but they rely on a complex structure and a Internet connection at container start (for updating the OS and application). As I was using this application in a shop with intermittent Internet connection, it was not possible to use theses.

Quick start

1. Create a folder that will store the configuration databases of calibre-web, at first run the image will populate it with default databases
2. Run the container docker run --rm -d -v /local/path/to/calibre-web/config:/config -v /local/path/to/calibre/library:/books -p 8080:8083 -e PUSER=$(id -u) -e PGROUP=$(id -g) -e CONTAINER_TIMEZONE="Europe/Paris" marema31/calibre-web.
3. Point your browser to http://localhost:8083 or http://localhost:8083/opds for the OPDS catalog
