Server setup questions

blueskies221 · 03-13-2026, 09:37 AM

I am running calibre via docker. I am running the server inside of that. I have an internal IP of 192.168.1.x. My server I start from calibre is 192.168.112.x. Shouldn't it be an IP on the same subnet? Also, I don't see how to configure it.... when I connect from my kindle, it tells me creds are required, which I don't recall setting up.

Someone with docker experience will have to answer the config Q.

IIRC Docker is a computer within a Computer. Each has their own IP (192.168.x.x is not routeable and will need a NAT translation between the systems)
So, NO, those 2 systems IP should not be the same (even if it is just for the human)

The Calibre config is Preferences: Sharing over the net: This is where you set the PORT to use (8080 is commonly used by other stuff, so I picked 8083.)
Then you need to set the docker to route port requests to 8083 .
