Permission this so the calibre user owns it, and everyone else can read and write in it: sudo chown calibre:calibre /d1/upload/ebooks sudo useradd -c "Calibre Server" -d /d1/media/calibre -s /bin/bash -m calibreĪlso create a directory for uploading new e-books, like: sudo mkdir -p /d1/upload/ebooks In the example that follows the user will be "calibre", and its home directory, "/d1/media/calibre". I recommend selecting something other than "/home" for this to maintain separation from user and application data. Where the calibre database is kept, which by default is the home directory of the user who runs the application. The server will need write privileges to the directory Calibre system userĬreate a calibre system user and group that will run the daemon. The latest Ubuntu LTS Server (18.04) ships with Stock firewall is ufw and the ssh server is openssh-server. As a result, the first things I check on every server buildĪre: (a) Allow port 22 through the host firewall (b) Make sure an ssh server is installed. I prefer to get my servers all set up from the console and then use ssh to complete my preparation, mostlyīecause I can copy and paste into an ssh terminal. Server on Fedora or other Linux distributions. With a few minor adjustments this could be used to set up a similar I have reproduced the results on the latest Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server.
