[BUG] Traefik v3 breaks calibre-web UI

[zaggash]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

All JS Jquery are not working.

The most obvious issues are the dropdown menu which are not working. Or the "+" menu in the admin area are not opening.

• I paid attention to https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/master/migration/v2-to-v3/
• I tried to add back this option with this middleware: https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/master/migration/v2-to-v3/#content-type-auto-detection It didn't change anything.

If anyone has an idea !

Expected Behavior

The dropdown menu should open a show options The "+" menus in the admin area should expand

Steps To Reproduce

Add traefik v3 in front of calibre web.

Hey @zaggash long time no speak 😊. You need to report this to calibre web or it's a problem with your traefik config, if it's working fine without traefik, it's not something we need to change in the container.

[zaggash]

Hello :) Yup I agree, opened here in case it happens to someone. I'll cross post upstream.

[zaggash]

My bad after further testing, it seems to be something in my config. I'll dig further and report here the wrong setup

[zaggash]

For some reason the compression is causing issues in this version:

middlewares:
    compress-all:
      compress:
        excludedContentTypes:
          - text/event-stream

Closing !

For tracking purpose Maybe https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/9734 ?

I don't think https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/9734 is the whole story, since I'm on v3.0.2 (supposedly fixed) and still seeing the issue.

I first noticed the menu dropdown not working on mobile after upgrading to Traefik v3 and traced it back to all the JS files served by calibre-web being just 1 byte (a semicolon).

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web/issues/294#issuecomment-2099452871 didn't fix it for me. I had to disable the compress middleware altogether.

[zaggash]

Yup. Mee too. I pasted the config here. But I had to disable the compress middleware completely.

[danepowell]

Yeah, I had to apply a custom middleware to the calibre service to disable compression. Definitely still a bug in traefik and/or calibre though.
