Firstly, can I start by saying Calibre is great! I've been running on OSX for years to manage my book collection without a single hitch.
I've been wanting a way to download books to my Kindle without a wire for sometime so started playing around with the Content Server, which worked great. Also being an avid Plex user, I then though wouldn't it be great to share my library with family and friends.
Not wanting to expose my Mac to the big bad internet, I had a look to see if there was a FreeBSD version of Calibre that I could run in a jail on my FreeNAS box, and low and behold there is!
After a few failed attempts I now have calibre-server running and can access remotely only exposing a single port which is then locked inside a jail where someone could actually do little damage.
Problem I have though is I can't seem to find anyway to enable authentication (i.e. username and password) so that no every Tom, Dick and Harry have access to my books!
My search so far has gotten me to the following lines in my /etc/rc.conf file:
Code:
calibre_enable="YES"
calibre_port="port-here"
calibre_library="/library-here"
calibre_user="user-here"
calibre_username="username-here"
calibre_password="password-here"
but this still takes me straight into my library.
I've also tried starting calibre-server with the following:
Code:
jexec calibre calibre-server --with-library="/library-here" --username="username-here" --password="password-here"
but still no joy! I suspect it's just a small syntax thing, so apologise in advance for the long ramble call for help. Where I've entered 'something-here' I do actually have the values I need/want to use
HELP!
