Trouble installing headless server

[Thatone]

Hey having trouble getting a headless server version running
I am installing it on the following

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

When I try to add a database I get
root@newsgroup:/# calibredb add /tvshows/Books/* --library-path /tvshows/Calibre-library/
load glyph failed err=6 face=0x34143e0, glyph=2797
load glyph failed err=6 face=0x340f630, glyph=2797

My system file

I installed Calibre using the following command
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"
Thoughts?

You need to use --with-library with the server URL. See the documentation of calibredb.

Edit: maybe not
so the service is running

When I go to myhostaddress:8888 I get

When I do try to add books to the database I get
