Re: [ Calibre Web ] [ 0.6.11 ] Calibre-Web is a web app providing a clean interface for browsing Ebook
I have CW 6.12 installed and running on my QNAP TS-251.
But I had a brain fart and deleted my admin login entry in my password manager and of course it was one of those complicated passwords.
The program is running normally otherwise and can access via localhost using my 'normal' user login I setup as well as the admin login.
I read that the command line options would allow the admin to change the password along with many other admin functions.
But the docs say "start script with...." and then lists the CLI switches to use. But here is what I get when using the -h switch to see the available options. So connect to QNAP via SSH and navigate to the ...Calibre-Web/calibre-web folder and enter:
[
What "script" do I need to run and where it is?
Thanks!

Re: [ Calibre Web ] [ 0.6.11 ] Calibre-Web is a web app providing a clean interface for browsing Ebook
The versions have now advanced to 6.14 through the app update feature, not QNAP Club.
I did the update when I had 6.11 and it updated to 6.13 smooth as silk, took like 3 seconds.
So when the update status in the app showed 6.14 was available, I grabbed it. It hosed the Calibre-Web install totally. Had to start over. Uninstalled it, reinstalled 6.13 from QNAP Club. All was good again except I lost all user info (grinding teeth...)
Also noticed with 6.14 the CPU meter stayed at 99-100 percent use until I removed/uninstalled it.
The problem has to do with "flask-WTF" not getting installed. There are "pip" instructions to install it, so tried that. It appeared to work but said using pip as root could cause permission errors. Did it anyway.
Still could not run 6.14 due to, apparently, no 'flask-WTF'. So removed 6.14 again and am back to 6.13 which is running great.
Anyone else have problems like this?
I keep hoping the "Hot Books" feature can be made to work as users really like it. It does not sort correctly, ie instead of showing the list of books by "most downloaded", it is simply in order of date added to the database. In fact, none of the sort buttons change the display order in any way. If the feature was meant to ONLY show books in one sort order ie by "most downloaded', then remove all those sort buttons! As of now, it shows downloaded books, but only in date of entry sort.
Running on TS-251 x64, 8GB RAM

There are several security updates between .13 and .16 which I'd like to have, hence my attempt to upgrade.
In regards to losing user details; in /.qpkg > Calibre-Web > .calibre-web - Save a copy of 'app.db' elsewhere, this saves users, library config and port changes, etc.

@RichPUK,
Thanks for the update...now I won't be tempted to try the latest, LoL.
I wound up setting up a cron job on my Linux PC (on the same network as the QNAP of course) to grab the entire contents of that folder via rsync and save it on my PC every 30 minutes. That way I hope to not lose any changes users make on a constant basis.
Still sticking with 6.13.

@QNAP_Stephane
Could you help me figure out how to update your QPKG version of Calibre Web to the latest?
The QPKG is good up until Calibre Web 6.14 where additional dependencies were added. The error is:
Even if you install Flask, using:
Calibre Web cannot find it, and you get the same error. You're forced to roll back the version by downloading and reinstalling the original package.

After latest firmware upgrade, unable to connect to Calibre Web
QNAP TS-251, 8GB Ram, QTS 5.0.1.2145
Linux Mint 20.3
I have had a working install of CW 6.13 since it came out. Tried to upgrade to 6.14 but that never worked, so stuck with 6.13.
Connecting to port 8083 now gives me the message "Unable to Connect". Tried Firefox and Chromium, same issue.
Verified installed:
Apache 8.0.x
JRE 8.151.2.3
Python 2.7
Python 3.10
Oracle JDK8 1.8
Entware Std 103a
I have tried these actions, some many times:
- Verified port 8083 not in use by anything else
- Uninstalled CW and deleted the .../.qpkg/Calibre-Web folder
- Reinstalled CW 6.13
- Uninstalled/deleted and installed 6.18 through QNAPCLUB (same results)
- Also copied over previously working backup of .../.qpkg/Calibre-Web folder including the .calibre-web folder with app.db
- Did a complete Factory Reset. Then restored settings
- Stop/Restart the CW service from the desktop, no indications of problems
None of the above has let me connect to
- However:
may indicate something messed up with the location of python3, which was installed by Entware.
Ideas?
Thanks!
