After using (and loving) a Kindle (Keyboard model) for over 10 years it was finally time for a new eReader. In that spirit I run a Plex server in my home network for my collection of movies and music. Now when I edit meta info in the desktop app, it is automatically updated in the web app as well.While I do still use services like Amazon and Google for certain movies, books, and comics, I like to retain actual ownership of my digital media whenever possible. I swap the library in my app and then select my Nas folder. The default login is “admin” with password “admin123”.ĭone! Of course, I can now also connect the desktop app via my “book folder”. The rest of the settings are a matter of taste. As “Location of Calibre Database” I enter “/calibre”. I now call my Synology IP with the assigned Calibre port and see the following picture. Without fixed ports it could be that Calibre runs on a different port after a reboot.Īfter these settings Calibre can be started! I assign fixed ports for the Calibre container. There I create a new database folder with this mount path “/calibre”. I select the “Volume” tab and click on “Add Folder”. Step 4: Put the image into operation:Īfter that I click on “Advanced settings” and activate the “Automatic restart”. Before we now create a container from the image, a few settings must be made. Docker distinguishes between 2 states, container “dynamic state” and image/image (fixed state). I select the Docker image “janeczku/calibre-web” and then click on the tag “latest”.Īfter the image download, the image is available as an image. I click on the “Registry” tab in the Synology Docker window and search for “Calibre”. I myself copied the existing library of the desktop application. Now I copy an existing library or “ this empty sample library” to the new directory. I go to the “Control Panel” -> “Shared Folder” and create a new folder “Books”.

Step 1: Create folderįirst, I create a folder for the Calibre library. This tutorial is for all Synology DS professionals.
