Hi Marc,
Very nice … I did not dare that so far but I have a different approach:
I did something similar on July 25th (one day before vaccation) for my wife: I installed an Ubuntu-VM on Proxmox next to Nethserver. This machine is dedicated to Calibre and got a Virtual Host / Reverse Proxy entry from Nethserver. Requests are redirected from
https://books.mydomain.tld -> https://internal_IP_of_calibre_server:8080
On Nethserver I have a file share folder called ebooks. I installed @stepandl NFS module and mounted this share on the Ubuntu-VM
To be consideres
- solution does not interfere with nethserver
- solution allows access on port 80 (standard http)
- solution is independend … if something goes wrong, it goes wrong …
- I use the share from windows machines from which I do an upload of ebooks
-> this requires a restart of the calibre instance each time a new ebook is uploaded - browsers on ebook readers and smart phones are not very happy with the redirection
- to the best of myknowledge calibre does not allow LDAP / AD
…
