Calibre

calibre-web is a web interface for Calibre - an ebook manager.

Config

make config

It is recommended to turn on some form of sentry authorization (eg. HTTP Basic auth or IP address filter) in front of the server, that way you do not expose the initial default deployment, which includes the pre-baked username and password necessary to login the first time:

• Username: admin
• Password: admin123

After you login, and change the default password, you can then consider turning off the sentry authorization.

Authentication and Authorization

See AUTH.md for information on adding external authentication on top of your app.
