Has anyone got Calibre running on OMV 5 using Docker & Portainer?

  • Has anyone got Calibre running on OMV 5 using Docker & Portainer? I have tried following the online videos from DBtech and Techodad life, but neither seem to help. I can get Calibre Running, but I am unable to add more books to Calibre, I cannot just drag a file into a library and add it. I get the message File transfer not supported or not enabled . Please contact your system administrator..... Is there a fix for this?




    Can anyone recommend a tutorial for putting Calibre on OMV5 other than the YouTube video by Techno Dad Life and DBtech?


    Thanks in advance!

  • Are you sure you set the correct PGID and GUID? How is your stack config looking like?

  • I am pretty sure they are correct PGID = 100 PUID = 998


    Stack is ;

    version: "2.1"

    services:

    calibre:

    image: linuxserver/calibre

    container_name: calibre

    environment:

    - PUID=998

    - PGID=100

    - TZ=London/Europe

    volumes:

    - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Mediaserver/Calibre/config

    - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Mediaserver/Calibre/Calibre/Books

    - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Mediaserver/existing

    ports:

    - 8082:8080

    - 8081:8081

    restart: unless-stopped



    If anyone can see anything wrong with this, I would appreciate the help. Had it running fine on OMV4 with Docker!

  • volumes:

    - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Mediaserver/Calibre/config

    - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Mediaserver/Calibre/Calibre/Books

    - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Mediaserver/existing

    That doesn't look right. You have no Container Path set there...


    Code
     volumes:
          - /path/to/data:/config

  • OK. I have scrapped my install of Calibre and reinstalled. my stack now reads as below, but I still cannot access any books or add books to my library! This is so frustrating, getting Calibre working on OMV 4 was a walk in the park, but on OMV5 I am struggling! Please be patient with me, I am still a beginner with all this.


    Thanks

  • You now lack the mounted volumes for your data.


    Code
    - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Mediaserver/Calibre/Calibre/Books:/path/in/container/that/calibre/suggests/or/expects

  • Thanks David for pointing that out. Sorted that. The problem I now have is that I have a collection on Ebooks that are stored, and shared, but I cannot seem to access them from within Calibre, Its like Calibre is only accessing folders within the container, not folders that are shared on my OMV Setup, how can I get round this? When I click on import books, the only folders available seem to be within the calibre container! am I right?

  • You need to consider that calibre is running it its own isolated Container. So Calibre only sees its "own" filesystem. Thats the reason you do the


    Code
    - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Mediaserver/Calibre/Calibre/Books:/path/in/container/that/calibre/suggests/or/expects

    to mount your stuff to the Container.
