I have tried changing permissions etc, nothing worked. I can create the one they default to in /Nobody/Calibre, but can't figure out where the hell that one is!

Thank you for your amazing reply! It helped a lot!
Hi Villax,

Glad you have good progress. I attached screenshot of my Calibre_Library permission for your reference. Not sure it could help.

If you can't see your existing library, perhaps you did not setup the "Volume" tab in Calibre docker as I explained in my previous reply (I reattached the screenshot here). You have to do the mapping so that Calibre docker can see your library (outside docker environment). If you do the mapping right, when you run Calibre GUI and it opens 'nobody' by default, you should be able to see your existing library; or you may need to go up another directory level.


Let me know if you need further clarification.
