|
|
2. Execute the command: `python cps.py`
|
|
3. Point your browser to `http://localhost:8083` or `http://localhost:8083/opds` for the OPDS catalog

## Runtime Configuration Options
|
|
|
|
`PUBLIC_REG`
|
|
Set to 1 to enable public user registration.
|
|
`ANON_BROWSE`
|
|
Set to 1 to allow not logged in users to browse the catalog.
|
|

|
## Requirements
|
|

## Reverse Proxy
|
|
|
|
Reverse proxy configuration examples for apache and nginx to use calibre-web:
|
|
|
|
nginx configuration for a local server listening on port 8080, mapping calibre web to /calibre:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
http {
|
|
upstream calibre {
|
|
server 127.0.0.1:8083;
|
|
}
|
|
server {
|
|
location /calibre {
|
|
proxy_bind $server_addr;
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8083;
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Script-Name /calibre;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Apache 2.4 configuration for a local server listening on port 443, mapping calibre web to /calibre-web:
|
|
|
|
The following modules have to be activated: headers, proxy, rewrite.
|
|
```
|
|
Listen 443
|
|
|
|
<VirtualHost *:443>
|
|
SSLEngine on
|

SSLProxyEngine on
|
|
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
|

<Location "/calibre-web" >
|
|
RequestHeader set X-SCRIPT-NAME /calibre-web
|
