Calibre-Web / Books

Infrastructure repository for the Calibre-Web service at:

https://books.mischlabs.de

Gitea:

https://git.mischlabs.de/MrDiderot/CalibreWeb.git

The service currently uses the upstream LinuxServer image:

lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web:latest

No custom Docker image is required right now. Gitea stores the Compose setup and documentation; the universal Watchtower instance on the NAS updates the upstream image.

NAS Paths

Current production paths:

Compose path: /volume2/docker/calibreweb/docker-compose.yml
Books:        /volume1/calibreweb/data/books
Config:       /volume1/calibreweb/data/config

The book library and Calibre-Web config stay on the NAS. They are mounted into the container and must not be committed to Git.

Current Container

Container: calibre-web
Image:     lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web:latest
Port:      8083 -> 8083
TZ:        Europe/Berlin
PUID:      1000
PGID:      1000

Deploy On NAS

From the NAS:

cd /volume2/docker/calibreweb
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
docker compose config
docker compose up -d
docker ps --filter "name=calibre-web" --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Ports}}\t{{.Status}}"

Watchtower

The existing universal Watchtower service should remain responsible for updates. Do not create a second project-specific Watchtower unless explicitly requested.

Manual one-time check:

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /volume2/docker/watchtower/config.json:/config.json:ro containrrr/watchtower --run-once

Notes

A wrong /books mount can make the library look empty even when the files still exist.
A wrong /config mount can make Calibre-Web start like a fresh install.
Always verify mounts before recreating the container.

Source Of Truth

The committed docker-compose.yml was copied from the live NAS compose file at:

/volume2/docker/calibreweb/docker-compose.yml

Only documentation and .env.example were added around it.
