Daemonized server empty library

[ghffPar]

Hi all, first post on the forum.

I have a library located in my user home folder on my raspberry pi: ~/libreria-calibre
I created this folder via samba from my mac.
and this folder contains following files:

• metadata.db
• metadata_db_prefs_backup.json
• Sconosciuto
• 'Vladimir Nabokov'

(I thought it might be helpful specifying these informations)


Running calibre-server simply as:

calibre-server ./libreria-calibre

works fine and I can see and read books from library on LAN devices.

Instead if I run:

sudo calibre-server --daemonize --log ./libreria-calibre/log ./libreria-calibre

(I run as sudo as I haver permission denied error otherwise)

I still can open the calibre viewer on the browser exposed by calibre server on my raspberry but opening my library results in
No books found message.

I am not running any antivirus on the server machine.

I believe your problem is that you need to specify the entire full path to the library.
./libreria-calibre is not the full path, but relative to your current directory. This is lost when you daemonize.

Your log should also list the full path from the root directory.
