Running calibre-server on non localhost?

loviedovie · 06-29-2016, 10:51 PM

Hi

I cant find a way to run calibre-server on non localhost. It seems like it is not respecting the netwotk settings under Calibre tweak. However I can get the server to run on the intented interface when I start it under Calibre Gui.

thanks

Are you referring to this setting in Preferences ==> Advanced ==> Tweaks?

Code:

#: What interfaces should the content server listen on
# ID: server_listen_on
# By default, the calibre content server listens on '0.0.0.0' which means that it
# accepts IPv4 connections on all interfaces. You can change this to, for
# example, '127.0.0.1' to only listen for connections from the local machine, or
# to '::' to listen to all incoming IPv6 and IPv4 connections (this may not
# work on all operating systems)
server_listen_on = '0.0.0.0'

Because calibre-server should automatically use the settings in Tweaks regardless of whether it runs via the GUI or the cli entry point.
Also, the default listens on every interface.

Are you using the CLI switch to set the port.

I believe the Tweak steers the Interface TO USE, when there are more than 1 NIC.
