# If the calibre library is on a secondary mounted filesystem, make sure it is mounted. # if it doesn't exist, this makes sure the service start up fails with an error # If you are using an existing calibre library, on a local drive, check to make sure if it exists Just create the file /etc/systemd/system/rvice with the contents shown below: You can easily create a service to run calibre at boot. OSMC is a modern debian based OS that uses systemd. Since I’m using this as a server only, and not using the calibre gui I used -no-install-recommends to minimize what was installed.ģ) Configure the calibre server to automatically run as a service. Sudo apt-get install -no-install-recommends calibre My server will only accessable from within my home network.ġ) ssh into your atv1 running osmc (see osmc wiki)Ģ) Install the calibre package with the command: I do not recommend making the server remotely accessable unless you fully understand the risks and know how to secure it. Since it uses a webserver, it is your responsibility to make sure you server is secure. OSMC does not have a linux desktop, therefore you cannot normally use the full calibre gui version on osmc.Ĭalibre server allows you access your ebook library from it’s own web server.

This explains how I to installed CALIBRE SERVER on an atv1 running osmc 2017.08 I will edit this post to reflect any changes I make to my setup. Thse Include installing the latest version of calibre (instead of the older 2.x from debian packages), with it’s improved user access control etc. While my setup is now working, I’d plan on making making some changes. The remote for the Belkin dock has never worked reliably.īy combining both audio playback, and file server, I can elminate extra hardware, and improve audio quality.Īs a first step, I’ve got my initial setup of Calibre server working. I have been using a 200gb iPod in a Belkin iPod docking station, with analog out, for my 9000 + (approx) song music library. A built in “UPS” was it’s primary advantage. The battery life on the laptop has gone to zero, thereby removing it’s ability to avoid power outages. I have been using an old mac laptop for calibre and NFS shares. Since my ATV1 is retired from normal video use, I’ve been wanting to test it as a headless server for:
