Issue with Upload, books with covers error out and are not imported

[barretteubanks]

Describe the bug/problem Book reports an error on upload. Upon checking directory folder, directory folder is created, both epub and cover are in folder. Epub is not imported into calibre database and is not shown when browsing calibre-web. Calibre-web is running from Python 3.7 as root. Permissions of the folder are rwx for user root, group 1000. If I run the command 'calibredb add -r "/mnt/calibre/Jack London/" --with-library /mnt/calibre' afterwards, then the book gets added to the library successfully and I am able to read it. This is both with direct IP access of calibre-web as well as reverse proxy access.

To Reproduce Upload an epub from project Gutenberg. So far, what I have noticed that uploading anything with a cover causes the issue. PDFs aren't affected.

Logfile Add content of calibre-web.log file or the relevant error, try to reproduce your problem with "debug" log-level to get more output.

same error here when uploading epub, i teste 3 different files

[OzzieIsaacs]

One information is missing? Which version of Calibre-Web are you using? Looks like 0.6.6?

@nicoolaro: Are you also using FreeBSD? Which version of Calibre-Web are you using? Could you please doublecheck if the errormessage is the same. Have you also the following requirements installed: Pillow (yes) and Imagemagick (no), Wand (no), lxml (yes)?

I am using 0.6.6. with Linuxserver docker. Not sure if it may be informative: I could upload PDF no problem, but when i changed policy.xml per instructions to export cover i got same error on PDF upload too.

I'm using calibre-web 0.6.6

[OzzieIsaacs]

Calibre-Web is extracting the cover from the file and storing it into the temp folder. In the 1st example into file: /tmp/calibre_web/23d5b735e436b0e37180b0209fce5607.@public@vhost@g@gutenberg@html@files@215@215-h@images@cover.jpg After creating everything else from the book(the database entries), the cover shall be copied to the final destination. this is done via python standard lib shutil move function. This function starts a call to the rename function, this call fails, because rename can only rename files on the same mount (the documentation talks about a foreign file system. Your temp folder is a different mount point from the books folder?) This is handled by the lib function and a workaround by copy and delete is started. The copy function now tries to copy also file metadata (...permission bits, last access time, last modification time, and flags from src to dst. [..] also copies the "extended attributes" where possible) and this fails with a permission error. This is the explanation, but not the solution. Could you tell me something about both filesystems, is the books folder a smb mount or something else?

[barretteubanks]

yeah. My books folder is mounted. It isn't quite smb mount. I use FreeNAS. I'm not sure exactly how familiar you are with FreeNas but my books folder is a separate dataset from the calibre-web dataset. All the datasets use zfs and all are contained under the same pool (which is the spread of hard drives). calibre-web runs in its own iocage jail (which uses the calibre-web dataset). I'm not quite sure the protocol but the jail can mount the books dataset into a folder of the calibre-web dataset in order to allow calibre-web to access and modify those files. I do know that these still are treated as two separate file systems since you can't hard-link between datasets but you can within an individual dataset. I never have any issues with copy or move functions.

Here is the documentation on the jail system if that helps any. https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.3-U2/jails.html

[nicoolaro]

In my case it is smb mount , do you think its user permission related?

[OzzieIsaacs]

Thanks for all the information. I think I have an idea, by answering the question: Why is moving the book from the temp folder not causing a problem, only the cover file. I think I will have a fix finished tomorrow.

[OzzieIsaacs]

I fixed it and also created a new release for it.

[ryanmccool]

Update: I rolled back to 0.6.9 and everything works fine.

@OzzieIsaacs This issue looks closed. Any reason why I would be getting this error in the last several days? It seems to be tied to moving the cover art.

For me, it was the fact that even though calibre itself was able to use the images, calibre-web needed ImageMagick to be compiled with support for PNG, JPG, etc. I use gentoo so you have to hand-tune these things. Not sure this is relevant on other distros, but it seems like possibly a related or similar issue might be to blame.
