Missing calibre binaries: ebook-convert, calibredb #3148

Closed PepperDocker closed 1 month ago

PepperDocker commented 1 month ago

First of all, wow calibre web is an amazing product.

I’m trying to get the convert-option to show up in calibre web. After reading through the notes on GitHub I made sure that: a. In the environment settings, DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:universal-calibre was added.

b. Under the Basic Config settings in Calibre, ‘path to calibre binaries —> /usr/bin/ ‘path to kepubify binaries —> /usr/bin/kepubify

IMG_0005

This gives the error ‘Missing calibre binaries: ebook-convert, calibredb, missing executable permissions: ebook-convert, calibredb.

a. seems to have worked, as the log file shows: 2024/09/08 10:31:38 | stdout | [mod-init] linuxserver/mods:universal-calibre applied to container 2024/09/08 10:31:38 | stdout | [mod-init] Installing linuxserver/mods:universal-calibre 2024/09/08 10:31:37 | stdout | [mod-init] Downloading linuxserver/mods:universal-calibre from lscr.io 2024/09/08 10:31:36 | stdout | [mod-init] Adding linuxserver/mods:universal-calibre to container

And the conversion from epub to kepub now is available. E-book convert seems to be missing? I tried setting it to /usr/bin/ebook-convert, but this doesn’t give results either. Any ideas?

Same issue

Sorry guys, in a normal installation this is working, this is a docker permission rights problem, where I can't help you

thanks for the reply. Good to know the setup is correct.. Will try to see if I can fix the permission rights.

shooshpanov commented 1 month ago

Thanks for the reply. I will try to figure docker permissions as well

Was anyone able to get this figured out? I'm having the same issue.

I just copied them over to /config after downloading from calibre 7.18 arm https://download.calibre-ebook.com/7.18.0/calibre-7.18.0-arm64.txz

Thank you tge101, I wasn't very clear...I downloaded everything, but only moved the calibredb & ebook-convert files over and validated permissions where fine.

Can you be more specific? did you copy all of the contents or just the ebook-convert file? did you change anything else?

But the files are missing in the docker container. Having the same issue btw.

Might be worth checking out some of the threads on the linuxserver github or posting an issue there.

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web/issues/306 https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web/issues/305

I see some workarounds or troubleshooting steps posted, to look in the container and there's an alternative path you can try as well (assuming the binary did get downloaded)

DrFr33ze commented 1 month ago

I can confirm, that the procedure described here: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web/issues/306#issuecomment-2342923994 worked. I now have the conversion button. Thanks for pointing me to the right direction!
