Build a standalone server/cli

dg3feh · 04-25-2020, 05:32 AM

Hello!

I setup my new server based on ubuntu 20.04. This new system is headless and therefore I don't want to have any X related stuff on it.

Is there a possibility to setup only the server and the cli, no graphical frontend. I don't want to fullfill the dependencies for all the X/graphic stuff. It is no need on the system for that.

Any hints?

You dontneed to build anything, calibre comes with pre-built binaries. And see the bottom of: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/server.html

Yes, but if I use the deb-files all the dependencies need to be full filed. And that is the problem. It would be better to seperate cli/server from the gui in two packages.

No, calibre does not provide deb packages, it has standalone binaries, which you install from https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

and it has no dependencies beyond those noted in the link I provided earlier.
