OK, I don't use Calibre-web, but I've set up loads of web servers.

Presumably a browser on the Pi?
If you are not sure what port calibre web is using I think you can
export CALIBRE_PORT=8083
and that forces it (or any port not used). Some people seem to use 7878.
Which Pi OS?
I just got a Pi4b a few days ago and didn't like the official Pi OS, so downloaded Ubuntu Mate. I'd abandoned Ubuntu years ago for Mint + Mate on laptops & desktops, so spent 1/2 a day Mintifying it a bit.
I have a 128 G SD card after test on a 32G. I used Disks on desktop Mint to dump image of SD card and wrote it to the 128G card.
The alloy case and 3.5A 3rd party PSU came today. Less scary than bare PCB and power via my tablet PSU or Dell shoebox 7050 USB-C port!
So I might set up Calibre Web/Content server on it out of curiosity, though I have a "real" server in the attic (less real than 20 years ago, but probably "better") which has a web server. I have multiple hosted websites too.
So certainly:
1) Get access and operation working on the Pi with browser on the Pi. Make sure it either has an excluded static IP, or that your DHCP server is set to assign same IP always via Mac. Disable IP6 on the Pi. It should ideally be cabled ethernet, though WiFi is possible.
2) Verify access works on a different computer on the LAN.
3) Consider how to access remotely.
I didn't realise (1) was broken.
