Calibre Server with Reverse Proxy

arcegabriel · 05-28-2026, 09:20 AM

I have Calibre server setup on windows 10. It is running as a service and listening to 8083. I have auth on
On the same server I setup iis reverse proxy. Goes from https/fqdn to the local on 8083

When I access direcly all good (ie inside home using the ip of the server)
When I access via the proxy, I get to calibre ok and get the auth prompt

1. If auth-mode is not included via CLI, I get Failed to communicate with "/calibre-web/interface-data/init?1779930038205", with status: [400 (error)]
The uri in the Request Line and the Authorization header do not match

2. If auth-mode is basic via CLI, after entering user/pass cycles back and ask again for user/pass. Forever

Appreciate any suggestions

I solve the problem
The iis reverse proxy was configured to use the /calibre-web sufix
I removed it from the config and it no longers fails
