add a 2nd library on ubuntu server

lantech19446 · 12-09-2022, 03:55 PM

I'm using calibre's content server it's running on Ubuntu Server so there is no graphical way for me to do this unless you know of an admin url that I don't.

I have created a 2nd folder and run the command calibredb add *.mobi --with-library chance/ and successfully added the book to it, this is precisely what I did to create the first library. Next I go to the service I wrote in systemd and I add to the execstart line /home/ubuntu/chance/ but it keeps failing with the message that there is no library there. if I cd into /home/ubuntu/chance/ I can run calibre-server chance and it will start and I can access the book that's within it but I want to run multiple libraries from the same instance so I can choose which library to enter. I'm obviously missing something in the process.

Make sure you are running at least calibre 4.x then to serve multiple libraries all you need to do is specify their paths on the command line that you execute calibre-server with.
