Add New Books to Calibre-Web

August 06, 2024

  • I must not have had this command saved anywhere, so when I had to setup Calibre-Web again, it took me a little while to figure it out again.
  • First, need to get metadata.db if you don't already have one. I placed mine in .../Calibre-web/config/ with the rest of the generated files.
  • To actually load the books, I needed to use a shell on that container & run the calibredb command:

docker exec -it <<CONTAINER_NAME>> /bin/bash calibredb add --add /eBook_Source/ --with-library /books
