Quick start

  1. Install dependencies by running pip install --target vendor -r requirements.txt.
  2. Execute the command: python cps.py (or nohup python cps.py - recommended if you want to exit the terminal window)
  3. Point your browser to http://localhost:8083 or http://localhost:8083/opds for the OPDS catalog
  4. Set Location of Calibre database to the path of the folder where your Calibre library (metadata.db) lives, push "submit" button
    Optionally a Google Drive can be used to host the calibre library -> Using Google Drive integration
  5. Go to Login page

Default admin login:
Username: admin
Password: admin123

Issues with Ubuntu: Please note that running the above install command can fail on some versions of Ubuntu, saying "can't combine user with prefix". This is a known bug and can be remedied by using the command pip install --system --target vendor -r requirements.txt instead.

Requirements

Python 2.7+, python 3.x+

Optionally, to enable on-the-fly conversion from one ebook format to another when using the send-to-kindle feature, or during editing of ebooks metadata:

Download and install the Calibre desktop program for your platform and enter the folder including programm 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.

*** DEPRECATED *** Support will be removed in future releases

Download Amazon's KindleGen tool for your platform and place the binary named as kindlegen in the vendor folder.

Docker Images

Pre-built Docker images are available in these Docker Hub repositories:

Technosoft2000 - x64

LinuxServer - x64, armhf, aarch64

  • Docker Hub - https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/calibre-web/

  • Github - https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web

  • Github - (Optional Calibre layer) - https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web/tree/calibre

    This image has the option to pull in an extra docker manifest layer to include the Calibre ebook-convert binary. Just include the environmental variable DOCKER_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.

    Both the Calibre-Web and Calibre-Mod images are rebuilt automatically on new releases of Calibre-Web and Calibre respectively, and on updates to any included base image packages on a weekly basis if required.

    • The "path to convertertool" should be set to /usr/bin/ebook-convert
    • The "path to unrar" should be set to /usr/bin/unrar
