/booksvolume). - Log in with
admin/admin123and change the password immediately. - In Basic Configuration → Calibre Database → set Location of Calibre database to
/books. - In Basic Configuration → External Binaries → set the directory to
/usr/bin/for Calibre-Web >= 0.6.22. - kepubify is pre-configured since version 0.6.27. No need to set the kepubify path manually.
- Set up Google OAuth if desired (requires
OAUTHLIB_RELAX_TOKEN_SCOPE=1).

Gotchas
- Wrong database path: Login appears to succeed but the library is empty. Verify the Calibre database path in the admin page.
- Ebook conversion: Requires the
universal-calibreDocker mod AND the external binary path set to/usr/bin/(directory, not full path toebook-convert). - Google OAuth: Set
OAUTHLIB_RELAX_TOKEN_SCOPE=1or OAuth login fails. - calibre 9.9.0 content server security fix: A bug since v6.16.0 allows any user with server access to read non-Calibre files on the host. Upgrade to 9.9.0+ if serving content to untrusted users.
