How to create seperate accounts
Hi, I have installed Calibre on a Synology NAS DS415+. Everything seems to be working ok. My problem is I cannot figure out how to create seperate accounts for family in different parts of the country. I only see android apps that require a usb connection to my server to load the android device. Please help me configure individual read only type accounts. Thanks SB

I can't help with the non-traditional part of the install (PC being traditional)
Preferences: Sharing over the Net: is where you configure sharing stuff Main: sets the port to listen on (you will need to port forward on your router for WANside access) User accounts: is what you want. This allows (passworded) access to specific libraries, allows changes Calibre companion (Android ans IOS), can connect to your IPort Any browser (Win,Mac,Linux) can connect to your IPort |

Thanks for the quick reply. This was my first time trying to setup a program on my server and I am not familiar with ports and configuring them. I initialize the content server using port 8081 because 8080 is in use than I create a user account and restart the server. When I tell Calibre Companion to connect I get a screenshot circling the command "start content server". I also tried using the local folder 4001 and received the same thing.Is this a router modem issue? SB

BTW I assumed that you have Calibre-server running as a service on your NAS The router should only come into play IF you are accessing from a DIFFERENT network. I will also assume your wireless devices can access using DSfile (proves the access is not having peer blocking) AFAIK CC only supports a few commercial 'clouds' |

I don't know if I am confusing NAS and Calibre accounts I don't think so. I have Calibre running in Docker so I am assuming everything I see is related to Calibre. I am able to open DSnote on another wifi so the modem is not the issue. What do you mean running as a service and how do you check this? SB
Edit: I am running Calibre in a container named aptalca/docker-calibre:latest Last edited by Snakebait; 11-12-2018 at 03:26 PM. Reason: more info |

I don't know what you mean by I keep my tunes on my slim when we are talking about books. Before I start brainstorming I want you to know I have been trying for over a month to get this working to no avail and after reading all the tips on the internet I decided to ask for help in the forums only to get told to do it myself. You're welcome to close this thread I will continue to load my books into kindle and transfer to family members via email. SB
