managing user accounts from the command line...
Hi all,
I'd like to set up authentication for my calibre-server (calibre 2.75.1 running on Raspbian), but I have to do that via the command line. So I'm trying to follow this simple tutorial in order to set up a user db. But when I copy-paste the command Code:
calibre-server --userdb /srv/calibre/users.sqlite --manage-users Weird... Why do you think this is happening? Is the command line faulty? Is it a version issue? D- |

Depending on your version of Raspbian, you could check the version of calibre in the debian repository (https://packages.debian.org/buster/calibre) which would bring you up to v3.39 or so. |

calibre 2.75 doesn't even support user accounts.

Thanks guys. I was indeed limited by Raspbian Stretch, which didn't allow me to update Calibre. After upgrading to Buster, I was able to update Calibre to v.3.39, and gain access to the user management functions. Yeah!
(as a small enhancement to the calibre-server, I'd recommend that users that aren't able to upload books or edit the library don't see the "upload" or "edit" buttons on the interface, as they still appear on my end. But perhaps that was corrected in later versions? I tried checking the changelog but drowned a bit! Which shows what an actively developed this software is - bravo again ) |

I deliberately leave the buttons available because it is much easier to understand when you click a button and get anerror saying you are not allowed to perform this action thatn when a button is missing.
