Post Problems setting up Calibre Content Server
Hello everyone! I tried setting up the Calibre Content Server on my Raspberry Pi Zero 2W for my Kindle 3 Keyboard, after encountering issues at every step, from PHP version to outdated guides I decided to start from square one and ask you: How can I even install the content server? I am a beginner in working with PHP and servers and I would really appreciate if someone could explain it to me like to a dummy. Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

I think you need to clarify... Calibre CONTENT server is the server built-in to calibre itself; exposes the library at port 8080. calibre comes with ALL the required code to run this, and does not need php.

Calibre WEB is a totally separate project from https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web

Oh, I understand now. Then how can I use the content server if I manage to install Calibre on my Pi zero? Thanks for the response

Calibre content server can either be enabled from within the calibre GUI, or can be launched via command line. See https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gen...re-server.html

For calibre-web often the easiest approach is to install using Docker where the docker container will contain all the required levels / versions of software. Now I have no idea whether a pi-zero can run docker!

Your main problem is that calibre has been 64-bit starting with version 6.0, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W is a 32-bit. At one time Raspberry Pi distro compiled calibre for the pi.

You can try:
Code:
sudo apt-get install calibre -y
Good luck.

Would running the 64 -bit version of Calibre on the 64bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS solve the problem? Thanks!

The only time I played with 64 bit on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, it was not a great experience. The 512GB of RAM was not sufficient and even after increasing the size of the swap partition, it was painful to use. Unfortunately, the RAM is not upgradeable.

Thanks! I'd forgotten totally about the 32 / 64 bit issues!

I can add that the server works like a charm on my Pi 5 so maybe you could use this as an excuse to buy yourself a late Christmas present!��. I also use a folder on an external drive (as part of a NAS hosted by the Pi) which is checked every few minutes and any books dropped I. Are automatically processed and added to my caliber library.
