Calibre-web metadata.db

[viniciuspaes]

Hi Abhilesh! In my first run with calibre web i got an error 500.

In further inspection, I noticed that Calibre was unable to find metadata.db in /books.

I was able to download a sample for metadata.db from: linuxserver/docker-calibre-web#30 (comment)

After that, everything works fine.

Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention and I'm glad you could successfully install calibre web.

The metadata.db file issue seems to be a common one, there's also file permissions issues that sometimes lead to unsuccessful installations, especially on docker.

The janeczku/calibre-web repo also has an empty metadata.db file included.

In case anyone is interested in replicating your setup, do you think it is plausible to add the metadata.db file in your repository and update docker-compose.yml file stating that the metadata.db should be placed in the /books, to avoid error 500? Just a sugestion.

Thanks a lot! Added the metadata.db file and instructions to the repo with this commit.
