-- Being edited, if this line is present when you read this, I haven't managed to complete the procedure yet. YMMV.

• Step 1 - Name Jail and Choose FreeBSD Release

  • Name: calibre-jail
  • Jail Type: Default(Clone Jail)
  • Release: 13.2-RELEASE
  • iocage create --name calibre-web --release 13.3-RELEASE

• Step 2 - Configure Networking

  • DHCP Autoconfigure IPv4 (check)
  • VNET (check)
    • My command line jail-fu isn't reached network-dan guru level. Use the GUI to tweak it.

• Step 3 - Confirm Options

1. Start the jail and go to the shell.

   • iocage console calibre-web -f --- you are doing yourself a favor and doing it over ssh, right?

2. Make sure you have installed the package manager:

pkg update

3. Install git, pip, python and sqlite3:

pkg install git && pkg install py37-pip && pkg install python && pkg install sqlite3 && pkg install py37-sqlite3

4. Clone the calibre-web repository

cd /
git clone https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web.git

5. Follow the "Quick start":

cd calibre-web/
pip install --target vendor -r requirements.txt

6. Execute:

python cps.py

Open your web browser and go to http://[jail-ip-address]:8083, if everything goes fine you will see:

7. Stop de Jail and add the mountpoint of your library (do not forget to check the Auto-start box in the edit section)

8. Start the Jail, go to the jail's shell and create an startup script:

touch /calibre-web/cw-startup.sh

echo '#\!/bin/sh' >> /calibre-web/cw-startup.sh
echo 'nohup python /calibre-web/cps.py &' >> /calibre-web/cw-startup.sh

chmod +x /calibre-web/cw-startup.sh

9. Add the script to the crontab

echo '@reboot root /calibre-web/cw-startup.sh' >> /etc/crontab

10. Restart the jail and go to http://[jail-ip-address]:8083
