The Calibre library server is a great way to store your eBooks. It
allows you to:
- Share your books with others.
- Easily transfer your books between devices and access them from
anywhere.
## Installation
Install the Calibre package. You might also want rsync to upload books.
```sh
apt install -y calibre rsync
mkdir /opt/calibre
```
Either upload your existing library using `rsync`. For example to
`/opt/calibre/`.
```sh
cd ~/Documents
rsync -avuP your-library-dir root@{{<hl>}}example.org{{</hl>}}:/opt/calibre/
```
Or create a library and add a book to it:
```sh
cd /opt/calibre
calibredb add book.epub --with-library your-library
```
For more information about the `calibredb` command see `man calibredb`.
Add a new user to protect your server:
```sh
calibre-server --manage-users
```
## Creating a service
Create a new file `/etc/systemd/system/calibre-server.service` and add
the following:
```systemd
[Unit]
Description=Calibre library server
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/calibre-server --enable-auth --enable-local-write /opt/calibre/your_library --listen-on 127.0.0.1
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
You can change the port with the `--port` prefix. Additional information
`man calibre-server`.
Issue `systemctl daemon-reload` to apply the changes.
Enable and start the service.
```sh
systemctl enable calibre-server
systemctl start calibre-server
```
## A reverse proxy with Nginx
Create a new file `/etc/nginx/sites-available/calibre` and enter the
following:
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
client_max_body_size 64M; # to upload large books
server_name {{<hl>}}calibre.example.org{{</hl>}} ;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}
}
```
Issue a Let\'s Encrypt certificate. [Detailed instructions and additional information](/basic/certbot).
```sh
certbot --nginx
```
Now just go to **calibre.example.org**. The server will request an
username and a password.
