I ran calibre server with bellow command

calibre-server --port 8082 --auth-mode basic --enable-auth --userdb /opt/calibre/pass --daemonize --log /var/log/calibre3.log /mnt/eBooks/


I disabled auth as i do not know if statement --enable-auth --userdb /opt/calibre/pass is correct and in what form should the pass file be and now I get an empty library

and tried for testing with calibre-server --port 8082 /mnt/eBooks/

When I open calibre from windows, GUI is loaded with all my books but content library again is empty

can you please help?

If you want to use --userdb you first need to use --manage-users to setup the user accounts. Line this

calibre-server --userdb /tmp/calibre-users.sqlite --manage-users

create the user account

then run

calibre-server --userdb /same/path/as/before --enable-auth /path/to/calibre/library/folder


/tmp/calibre-users.sqlite must not exist when you run --manage-users, it will create it for you. Change it to whatever path you actually want to use.

As for the libraries not being listed in windows it is most likely because you have your calibre library in the root of a drive. This will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you for your quick reply

I will try the userdb and let you know if I have any problem

As for the library, my library is located at
/mnt/eBooks/

mounted from windows
//192.168.100.12/eBooks/ on /mnt/eBooks type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=1.0,sec=ntlm,cache=strict,userna me=astergiou@astergiou.gr,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,n oforcegid,addr=192.168.100.12,file_mode=0755,dir_m ode=0755,nounix,serverino,nobrl,rsize=61440,wsize= 65536,actimeo=1)

ehat should i change?

Using 3.5.0. When I try your commandline to add a user I get an error:

What do you want to do? [1-4]: 1

Any help?

That's a bug in the getpass() function in python on windows. I will add a fix in the next release, in the meantime you can always create the user database using the calibre program itself.
