Must specify at least one library when enabling auth?

mcal27 · 08-17-2021, 08:52 PM

Hi, newbie Calibre user here so please forgive whats prob a basic question.
I'm running latest Calibre Server (as a service) on Ubuntu 20.04 and I need to enable authentication when my server is accessed from another device on my network so any of my devices can upload books to the server.

I've created a user as per documentation, but when I try to ebable Auth by entering: calibre-server --userdb /srv/calibre/users.sqlite --enable-auth I get: 'You must specify at least one calibre library' which I'm happy todo, but where do I specify my library in the auth enable command?

Thanks in advance. Al

calibre-server /path/to=library/folder
