Bad Location Error on Linux

ma1 · 04-07-2023, 12:45 AM

I'm running the linuxserver.io docker container for Calibre, and I tried to mount /mnt/storage/Books as my library location. However, I get

Error: Bad Location
/mnt/storage/Books is not an existing folder

when I do so. I have confirmed that the location exists and is spelled correctly.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

There is absolutely no reason to use docker for calibre. Just install the official binaries from https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

docker jsut complicates your life for no benefit in this case.
