Successful install but no books

[rasp-beret]

Hi

I use Calibre and am hoping to use Calibre Web to access my books. I seem to have successully installed CW2CU but can't see any books so I must have gone wrong somewhere!

The Calibre library is on my directory on my Pi 5. Under volumes in the docker I've added:

• /calibre-web-config
  • /cwa-book-ingest
  • /calibre library

Am I missing something? Would be grateful for any advice.

Thank you.

The books have to be uploaded first via the gui. This is the only way to add them to the database.

Make sure to pick the correct database file for a start. If I do remember correctly there are two of them and only one database file works correctly with all calibre-web-automated add-ons. I have no idea why the non-working database file is there...

The good, known working directory is at the root level and named /calibre-library or something like this and holds the working database file aswell.

I do not know if this is mentioned inside some documentation? This is the way I figured it out to make it work at last.

Maybe it is possible to preconfigure the working database file with the next versions as this is quite confusing (to me at least)?

Please note:
Files are not recognized just because they are stored next to the database on the file system. You have to upload them.

Good luck
