Cool Unraid Server Installation but not seeing Kindle
Hello I have Calibre running fine on my Unraid Server everything works fine.
But when i connect my Kindle to my Laptop which sees the KIndle as a connected https://xbackbone.osopolar.cloud/ZubU1/KesaNuCI44.png" class="wikilink" title="MR Wiki entry">https://xbackbone.osopolar.cloud/ZubU1/KesaNuCI44.png

But anything i try in Calibre it cannot see my Kindle or any part of my laptop.

How can i get my Calibre on Unraid to see my laptop and my Kindle it seems pointless if i cannot view or interact with my device. I have no doubt its a setting issue

I'm oversimplifying, but:
You access the Calibre server from the web browser on your kindle, not the other way around.

The browser on the Kindle is like a 1980's it takes about 5 min to load and unusable with the VNC pluggin supplied with Calibre

You don't manage Calibre from the Kindle.
You simply browse the Calibre Server webpage from your Kindle in order to download books that are in your Calibre library to your Kindle.

Sorry your missing my point or i didnt explain it well.
If i check on any mobile device i open Calibre in 1 second no issue.
If i try to open the same page in Kindle it takes 3 to 4 minutes and the screen has a KASM-VNC covering the screen or interfering int a very bad experience

I think you're using a dockerized installation here; possibly from linuxserver https://github.com/linuxserver/docke...tainer/calibre

In their installation, when you connect to port 8080 you're accessing a VNC based gui (ie, you need VNC on the client, ie your Kindle).

To see the calibre web interface, you need to connect to port 8081.
