Calibre-Web e-book library

Calibre is installed on my Windows 11 computer and handles all the e-books in this library. It works against Dropbox where all the bookfiles are stored. Calibre's database is also there. The Dropbox directory is Calibre and the Windows directory is E:\Dropbox\Calibre. These are syncronized.

Calibre-Web is running on the Raspberry Pi 4 server Raspibolt. Click link for info.

As of now when updating anything in Calibre on Windows a manual update needs to be done. Planning to automate later.

To manually update open PowerShell in Windows and ssh into the Raspibolt. Run ./update-calibre.sh. Takes a while but is ready when "Container is healthy. Update complete" message appears.

Open books.ahlstroem.net and the changes should be present.
