How to secure Calibre on Windows

[cschaefer]

Any help is appreciated! I'm not a programmer just trying to learn networking, php and html.

I installed Calibre on my home Apache/Windows device [http://bendview.redirectme.net:8282/] and it works great... really loving Calibre.

Now I want to secure but having problems making my own certificate be recognized by CA. I see in Calibre there is a place to link to a certificate so this must be possible???

From my primary website (not Calibre) on a separate shared hosting service with SSL I want to access Calibre but I cannot due to security and an unauthorized certificate on my home Windows device.

Is there a way to install Calibre on my shared host server [like a webinstaller or code to extract into a folder] OR is there a way to get my host server to trust my self signed certificate?

I've been trying Let's Encrypt and Certbot and Windows MakeCert but always run into a problem. Does anyone have success with Windows 8 or 10?

Thanks!!!!

There are some third party web interfaces available. Check out calibre-web https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web and COPS https://blog.slucas.fr/projects/cali...ds-php-server/

In my case I had initially used COPS on a docker image on my QNAP NAS but moved to Calibre Web in the same environment.

In both cases I didn't have the server access my calibre library directly, instead I had the server access a backup copy of my library stored on the NAS.

Set a password, and if you are putting the calibre server behind your main server, reverse proxy to it. And use whatever certificates/https setup you want on the main server.
