Calibre on Docker managed with portainer on Asustor

qiaofeng · 03-23-2023, 07:00 PM

Hi all,
I have the same problem as described on this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=348811

The last entry on the thread by @harshakavuri is the following, which I'm not sure how to do it?
1. Static routing on Router does not include port number
2. Static routing on router only route to local (host) IP Address, not the container.

to access Calibre content server where Calibre is running in a docker is by adding Static Route in your Router LAN settings.

I am also in docker and my Calibre is at 192.168.25.20:7080 and content server is at 172.17.0.2:8081 and my LAN network is 192.168.25.1

Please have a look at screenshot of my router lan settings.

My setup:
NAS: ASUSTOR AS5304T
Docker Image: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/calibre
(managed with Portainer)
Reader: Marvin on IPAD

Container configuration:

Code:

version: "2.1"
services:
  calibre:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre:latest
    container_name: calibre
    environment:
      - PUID=999
      - PGID=999
      - TZ=Australia/Melbourne
    volumes:
      - /volume1/Calibre:/config
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
      - 8081:8081
    restart: unless-stopped

Please help

I doubt many people here use docker. Just use the official calibre binaries. They are pretty self contained anyway. Then you will have one less layer of complication in your setup.

Rather than exposing Calibre through your router, or any other services, you might want to stand up a reverse proxy such as Nginx Proxy Manager or Traefik.

You would then configure your router to forward external requests on port 443 and port 80 to the server containing the reverse proxy container. The reverse proxy has configuration to forward "calibre.[your domain.tld]" to the container on 192.168.25.20:7080.
