# Calibre-web on FreeNAS

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

## Creating the Jail

* 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

## Running the Jail and setting up calibre-web

1. Start the jail and go to the shell. Please, do yourself a favor and do that through `ssh`. But if you insist on your misery, you can start the shell from the TrueNAS web interface.
```
iocage console calibre-web -f
```

3. Make sure you have installed the package manager:

```console
pkg update
```

3. Install git, pip, python and sqlite3:

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

4. Clone the calibre-web repository

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

5. Follow the ["Quick start"][1]:

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

6. Execute:

```console
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:

```console
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

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

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