calibredb to write to a remote content server?
calibredb add book.epub --with-library http://192.168.1.150:8090
results in: Forbidden also tried with username, password Am using calibre main app's built-in server, with local write enabled. Is there an alternative way to accomplish this? |

CalibreDB does not talk to the content server (the URL you gave). It operates direct on the DB. Also all the CLI tools expect a LOCAL (on HD) Library

I don't think that's the case because the following works from the same machine: calibredb add book.epub --with-library http://127.0.0.1:8090 |

@plo233 - if "calibredb to write to a remote content server?" means via The Internet, then:
The 192.168 addresses are reserved for private network (Intranet) use, they can't be used from The Internet. else See ==>> Private network - Wikipedia and The calibre Content server — calibre 3.8.0 documentation [ . . . ] ![]() BR |

You need to setup a user account on the server, give it write permissions and use the username and password in the calibredb invocation.

This wasn't working before but I actually needed to tick "Require username and password," otherwise the passed username/password was being ignored and write access blocked, despite the account existing (maybe a bug?). Working now - thanks!

Well yes, if you dont tick that, the server does no authentication.
