If you follow that procedure everything, including users/plugins/etc. will be transferred.

After hours digging and digging and searching, the wonderful content server is up and running, even as a service. I had to manually copied over
1) The whole calibre library folder
2) A user database file
3) A custom-list-template file

The file /etc/systemd/system/calibre-server.service looks like this

[Unit]
Description=calibre content server
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=mylinuxgroup
ExecStart=/usr/bin/calibre/calibre-server --port 56965 --custom-list-template /srv/calibre/server-custom-list-template.json --userdb /srv/calibre/server-users.sqlite --enable-auth /mnt/Ebooks

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

It works. But the Book Details doesn't show Identifiers and the series index is Roman. The device has no monitor so I use only the command line interface. Can't see anything related to Book Details.

Those are both general calibre settings, so you'd need to copy over the rest of your calibre config as well.

Sorry for the annoyance, but I can't find any guide in regards of where to place the files in ArchLinuxarm and the related command lines. The official manual involves using Calibre GUI - which I still cannot install.

On PC, I am using Portable version, and I assume you referred to the Calibre Settings folder.

Yes the settings folder the default location on linux is ~/.config/calibre and you can control it to whatever you like by setting the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY environment variable.

Also please don't run this as root... you could just copy your calibre config directory to e.g. /home/calibre/.config/calibre and use the "calibre" user to start the server.

Yes, I figured this out after several hiccups and restore. Now Calibre-server is running GUI-less smoothly on my Pi. But because I copied the setting files from Windows, which contain Windows paths, some weird files are created accordingly. But this doesn't affect the performance, I will leave it as is for now.

One problem though, opds apps on Android other than Calibre Companion can't pass authentication (they do with Windows content server)

Look at the server logs for debugging that issue

I set it to "basic" and it works.

Maybe this was addressed here before, but I'd be interested in step-by-step instructions for building latest calibre from source on Raspberry Pi. Please share if you have any such knowledge. I think this use is going to be a common use case going forward.

Do a search for 'raspberry' (and/or 'ARM') in the Calibre forum. You'll find several relevant threads, such this one ==.> Calibre library on own webserver ( Raspberry Pi)

And, there are solutions in this very thread - did you read it?!
