Wiped everything and started again with the further advice. Cops started this time and is accessible from a web browser. However, I'm greeted by a COPS CONFIGURATION CHECK page which tells me that there's both a database error and that it can't find File /books/metadata.db. Is this just because I'm yet to sync the library or is there something else missing?

I also noted at the bottom of the page that "hosting your Calibre Library in /home is almost impossible due to access rights restriction". Following the advice of another COPS docker developer I placed the library in home/pirate/books/data/library/ and the config in home/pirate/books/data/config/. If this won't work then where would be the best location?

Lastly, it's a pity that there isn't a tiny COPS OS for the Raspberry Pi. Something which bundles COPS and the user's choice of resilio sync, syncthing, nextcloud, dropbox etc. With a simple GUI for the millions like me who struggle with the command line.
