Hi.
Well that, i want to use Calibre headless, and for me is really important have the possibility to run a plugin that i was using with the graphical interface (i never use the cli version)

it is possible to add plugins from cli?
and later run them?

Thanks.

calibre-customize allows managing plugins and calibre-debug --run-plugin allows running them, IF, the plugin supports being run from the command line.

I installed throught the cli with the command to say.
Later list to see the plugins.

And it seems the name is this:Biblioteca EPL

exceute this to config but im having this error:

calibre-customize --customize-plugin="Biblioteca EPL"

i also try

calibre-customize --customize-plugin=Biblioteca EPL

without quotes.

But the same result:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/calibre-customize", line 21, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
             ^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/customize/ui.py", line 887, in main
    name, custom = opts.customize_plugin.split(',')
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

there is something i can try?
Thanks

EDIT:OH, i see is looking for more arguments.... but how i know the variables to put the info?

Hi.
I add the plugin, but for config through terminal it looks complicated to me.
I can install the addon in a graphical enviroment and then take that config to my headless system? where will be saved those arguments of the plugin in calibre? i mean, so i take it from there.

Thanks.

THe customization string is the same as you would enter for the plugin when customizing it via the GUI. If the plugin has more complex customization than that, then you cant configure it from the CLI. And you can always copy the calibre configuration folder from one computer to another.
