Calibre3 systemd

jrp13149 · 11-01-2017, 10:29 AM

I've just upgraded my OS, and am now running systemd, and Calibre 3 for the first time.

I previously had multiple libraries serviced by multiple instances of calibre server running on different ports. I can see now that Calibre 3 behaviour is different, and that I only need one instance.

I need to write a systemd file that allows me to pass multiple command line options and multiple libraries to the calibre server, and I've not been able to do this.

The execstart entry in my service file is:
ExecStart=/opt/calibre/calibre-server " --port=4567 --enable-auth --disable use-bonjour" /data/phobos/archive/calibre_libraries/calibre_kids

and it doesn't work. What am I missing? Could someone share an example of an entry that works?

Thanks,

Jeff.

You dont put quotes around multiple arguments

Doh - Thanks - fixed now.

It was the depreciation of '--use-library' that confused me. I was trying to pass a string of options intact as a single argument.

Regards,

Jeff.
