Question

Well, now stuck on how to change the ebook storage database location. I can login to CW (yippee!), but using my original config files means it points to a different location.

My original location on the RPi was:
Quote:
/mnt/eStorage/eBooks/All-eBooks
I did retain that, but for some reason the container was not showing any files in that folder, which is a copy of my Calibre ebook database files.

So looking at some examples on the web, they all said to use the 'media' mount point. So I changed the Ubuntu mount point to /media/... and I can see all the ebooks properly. I then deleted all entries in the /mnt folder so it could not conflict somehow.

Next I removed the calbire-web container and started over, using this command to create a new container:
Quote:
docker create --name=calibre-web -e TZ=America/Los_Angeles -e PUID=1000 -e GUID=1000 -e DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/calibre-web:calibre -v /home/ubuntu/calibre -v /media/eStorage/eBooks/All-eBooks -p 8083:8083/tcp --restart unless-stopped linuxserver/calibre-web:0.6.21
That works and creates a new CW container. I then copied my original CW config files into the default /config folder in the container.

I get a normal login screen, and my old logins work, so I know it is looking at the right files.

However, those old config files point to /mnt/...., which didn't work, so I change it to /media/...

But CW won't let me change it! I cannot get past the Database Configuration screen. I can put in the new path manually, or use the browse to go to /media/..., but it simply will not take.

I cannot delete app.db, as that contains all the user profiles, settings, passwords, etc...been there, done that before and it is a major job and disruption for users personal settings which they have to start over on.

So, any tips on how to get by this?
