Currently, however, anyone who knows your server’s IP address can access your ebooks. You might not want this. Instead, let’s configure calibre’s built-in user management system so you can force visitors to authenticate with a username and password.First, SSH back into your server and stop calibre. This will allow us to manipulate calibre’s database directly:sudo systemctl stop calibre-serverNow start calibre’s user management script:calibre-server --manage-usersWhen prompted, choose to add a new user. Then select a username and strong password. You will see a final output message like this:OutputUser mycalibreuser added successfully!Now we need to make one small edit to our service.Reopen calibre-server.service:sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/calibre-server.serviceTo enable authentication, add the --enable-auth flag to the end of the line starting ExecStart. It should look like this:. . .ExecStart=/opt/calibre/calibre-server /home/sammy/calibre-library --enable-local-write --enable-auth. . .Save and close the file.Refresh the services daemon to rescan the services files, and start the calibre server again with:sudo systemctl daemon-reloadsudo systemctl start calibre-serverIf you visit your library again, it should now prompt you for a username and password before allowing you to access it.There are more ways to add functionality to our calibre Content server.

The calibre:// URL スキーム Clicking on calibre:// URLs can be used to have calibre perform various actions. This can be used to create links to individual books and even locations inside books that can be accessed from other programs. For details, see: the manual. Backwards incompatibilities There are a few minor backwards incompatibilities to be aware of in calibre 6 Because calibre has now moved to Qt 6, some third party plugins will no longer work, until they are also ported to Qt 6. Fortunately, plugin developers were given over half a year to port their plugins, so most have already been ported. If you use both calibre 5 and calibre 6 on the same library, any books you add using calibre 5 will not be automatically indexed for full text search, so you will periodically have to rebuild the index. Support for Windows 8 has been dropped as neither Qt 6 nor Microsoft support it. This is an appropriate time to throw out a big thank you to the calibrecommunity who have contributed selflessly of their energy and enthusiasm —without which many of the features above would never have seen the light ofday.Note that some of these features were actually introduced during thelifetime of the 5.x series. This document describes new features as comparedto 5.0See what was new in previous major calibre releases:5.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7.Comments

2025-04-17I can convert without any problems Kindle azw3 files on the command line with Calibre 6.X desktop.Calibre 6.X desktop runs on another computer then my calibre content server.I would like to convert these files on the content server without installing the Calibre desktop software.I have tried to install the DeDRM tools on the content server with following command: calibre-customize --add DeDRM_plugin.zipThere was no error but the .config/calibre/plugins/ was empty. I have copied the files over from my desktop to the content server but still errors when converting.1% Converting input to HTML...InputFormatPlugin: MOBI Input runningon /mnt/multimedia/text.azw3Found KF8 MOBI of type 'standalone'Traceback (most recent call last): File "runpy.py", line 196, in _run_module_as_main File "runpy.py", line 86, in _run_code File "site.py", line 45, in File "site.py", line 41, in main File "calibre/ebooks/conversion/cli.py", line 419, in main File "calibre/ebooks/conversion/plumber.py", line 1108, in run File "calibre/customize/conversion.py", line 242, in __call__ File "calibre/ebooks/conversion/plugins/mobi_input.py", line 44, in convert File "calibre/ebooks/mobi/reader/mobi8.py", line 85, in __call__ File "calibre/ebooks/mobi/reader/mobi6.py", line 162, in check_for_drmcalibre.ebooks.DRMError:So is this possible to convert without installing the desktop version ?
2025-04-14DigitalOcean Nameservers From Common Domain Registrars for instructions.Step 1 — Downloading and Installing the calibre Content ServerAlthough calibre exists in Ubuntu’s software repositories, the version there often lags behind the latest release. Therefore, the official calibre documentation recommends that you install it from a binary hosted on their site instead.First, install some necessary dependencies:sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libfontconfig libgl1-mesa-glxNow download and install the calibre server.wget the contents of the script:less linux-installer.shYou can scroll up and down with the k and j keys and hit q to get back to your terminal when you are done.Now execute the script to install calibre:sudo sh linux-installer.shcalibre expects a desktop environment but it will not find one on a headless server, so you will see some warnings about desktop integration failing. It is safe to ignore these because we will control calibre entirely via its command line tools and web interface.Now that we have installed calibre, we can begin to explore its functionality.Step 2 — Creating a Library and Adding Your First BookTo explore calibre’s functionality, let’s download an .epub or .mobi ebook. We’ll use A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens from Project Gutenberg as an example. Project Gutenberg maintains a massive repository of free, public domain literature and is a great resource for ebooks.Run the following command to download this book to your server:wget -O christmascarol.mobiNow create a directory that calibre can use as your ebook library:mkdir calibre-libraryAnd add the book you just downloaded to your new library using the calibredb command:calibredb add *.mobi --with-library calibre-library/You will see the following output:OutputAdded book ids: 1With a book added to your library, you can now start calibre and explore the application.Step 3 — Running the calibre Content Server and Viewing Your LibraryWith calibre installed and a book downloaded, we are ready to explore the application’s user interface. But before we access the calibre Content server in a web browser, we need to make sure that our server can accept traffic on port 8080, which is the default port for calibre. If you followed the initial server setup guide in the prerequisites
2025-04-09Growing out of this discussion: Official Calibre PPA?, here is a simple bash script to update calibre on linux.Note: This can also perform the first-time install, since the version check returns the same failure for out-of-date as it does if there is no calibre installed.Thanks to aleyx for working on the version checking! EDIT: The script has been updated to fix a few problems. Also, you can now install the script and add the systemd timer or cron job (defaults to systemd timer, falls back on cron) by running the following one-liner in a terminal: Code: sudo -v && wget -nv -O- | sudo bash -Everything is managed through my GitHub repositoryWhat this is doing, the manual wayNew code:Old code:Explanation:Save this as "calibre-upgrade.sh" (or whatever you want) and stick it in "/usr/bin/", to add it to your path. ("$HOME/bin/" works too, but this is for a system install, so this is nicer. )You can now update calibre by running Code: sudo calibre-upgrade.sh but to make this fully automatic, simply add: Code: 0 6 * * 5 /usr/bin/calibre-upgrade.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 or if you want the output emailed to you by cron, add Code: 0 6 * * 5 /usr/bin/calibre-upgrade.sh to your crontab (with the command "sudo crontab -e") and the updater will run every Friday at 6:00 AM. Presumably, you aren't awake at that time, but you can fill in whatever time you want. Attached is a zip of the updater script (in a bin directory, and marked as executable), which can be extracted to "/usr/" (or $HOME) for your convenience.
