Operating system: Debian with OpenMediaVault Docker log:

[2019-03-26 19:01:34,597] INFO in server: Starting Gevent server

My configuration:

Calibre-web container has /Data/Ebooks mounted as /books. /Data/Ebooks/ is 2755 and root:users ownership (standard permissions in OMV, cannot really be changed). Calibre-web container is running with PUID = 1001 (standard user account on host system) and PGID = 100 (users group on host system), but earlier i also tried running it as PUID = 0 (root account on host system) without any luck. When i run "docker exec -it calibre-web /bin/bash" command on the host system, i do have full read/write access to /books folder. But when i'm trying to set up Calibre-web client with "/books" library location, im getting the following error: "DB location is not valid, please enter correct path"

Thanks, team linuxserver.io

You need to supply an existing database in the /books mount for this to work.

I got same error too. And I am sure I have placed metadata.db file in /books . any idea?

Thanks !

Check file permissions, if it's definitely there, then it will be file permissions
