calibre-web configuration
This is the configuration for calibre-web to listen on localhost:
--- a/cps/server.py +++ b/cps/server.py @@ -152,7 +152,7 @@ class WebServer(object): http_server = HTTPServer(WSGIContainer(self.app), max_buffer_size=209700000, ssl_options=self.ssl_args) - http_server.listen(self.listen_port, self.listen_address) + http_server.listen(self.listen_port, address="127.0.0.1") self.wsgiserver = IOLoop.instance() self.wsgiserver.start() # wait for stop signal
Creating a unit file
You can easily create a unit file for calibre to run on boot on a modern (systemd) based Linux system. This means it will also restart after a crash. Create the file /etc/systemd/system/calibre-server.service
with the contents shown below:
[Unit] Description=Calibre. After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=simple User=pi Group=pi WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/calibre-web ExecStart=python cps.py Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
The User
and Group
should be the same ones that own the files in the calibre library directory. It's generally not a good idea to run the server as root. Also change the path to the calibre library directory to suit your system.
Starting the calibre-server service
Run:
sudo systemctl start calibre-server
to start the server.
Stopping the calibre-server service
Stopping the service is as easy as running:
sudo systemctl stop calibre-server
Checking the status of the calibre-server service
Check its status with:
sudo systemctl status calibre-server
Enabling the calibre-server service to start at boot
To make it start at boot, run:
sudo systemctl enable calibre-server
Note
The calibre server does not need a running X server, but it does need the X libraries installed as some components it uses link against them.
The calibre server also supports systemd socket activation, so you can use that, if needed, as well.
