I've gotten the .jar running with oracle jre 9 as per a few other threads, but when I run the server the first time (--headless --remoteadmin) and go to http://ip:2203/admin/ it prompts me to create the new admin password then sits there timing out with a spinning circle.  It does not proceed any further, there's no further relevant output in console after it does the initial version check, and quitting/restarting just prompts me to create a new admin password again.

Am I missing an obvious step here, or what can I do to rectify this?  It is a headless VM so while I can monkey around with ratpoison or xpra to run the GUI in a container of some sort, I'd rather not if I can avoid it.

edit - the library also responds on :2202 but states there's no permission to view anything (I'm assuming due to not having created any users or added any content).

Hi Tom,

Very good & promising job with the v2! Thanks a lot! Starving from seing what this new baseline will allow to introduce as new features :-)

I read it was a design choice to use file name in v2.x instead of metadata title in former version v1.x.

I'd like you to re-evaluate your position, or at least let the administrator decide what fits best to each set-up.

Indeed, as far as I'm concerned, or all people using scraper like calibre one (I'm not), file name is used with the purpose to let the file being self-identified. This is not the same purpose in a comics library, as for most it is organized by folder.

To me, forcing the display as file names generate a really messy user experience.

Thank you in advance

Mat

I am having difficulty with a regularly changing public IP address from my ISP. Is there a way Ubooquity can be set up to allow logins that can sync the public IP between server and client?

Almost daily I have to log into my PC remotely to find what the public IP is to manually update it on the client/browser and I just know I'll get bored of that before too long. Think it would be of benefit for lots of users.

After update on Qnap to v 4.3.1 i cant access ubooquity anymore. Anyone experienced that issue?

Hello

Is it possible to have filter on books to sort only pdf and epub for example ?

Thanks

I run ubooquity on a synology DS212, it's a low memory device but sufficient for the job.

There are 2 points that make ubooquity very slow:

- opds acces. I use chunky reader and It takes a long time to get the initial list of folders. After that when I click on a directiry, it's fast, but the initial folder list of quite long (several minutes). I suspect this is because ubooquity is computing dynamically the list to provide and it takes a long time on my collection. Maybe you could pre-compute that initial list after the scanning process, this way it would make it faster

- latest comics. (opds or web acces) Same situation: it takes a long time to get the list, and I suspect it's the same reason. Mybe you could pre-compute that list after the scan to make it faster?

With some of the stuff I've added to my theme, it would drastically simplify if I could access settings. Really, any settings that aren't security related would be helpful.

Like if I could access whatever the user's "Reverse proxy prefix" was, I could compare the active page to the expected latest-comics page, and change the look of the "New" button accordingly.
Or if I could see if "Enable folder metadata display" is enabled, I could show/not show certain things on each page.

Otherwise I've got a list of settings at the top of a js file that need to be manually set before the first use.

I was wondering if there was any way we could get an option for the Latest Comics section to show more than 30 comics, or at least have more paginated? I often add a bunch of comics at a time, so some get pushed off the page, meaning there's no way to see that some series have new issues without manually navigating to their page.

This is a little idea for improving the user-experience

In the scanning page, the one that refreshes automatically every 5 secs, it would be nice to see the latest changes (addition/updates/removal). maybe you could display there an extract of the log file?

I see 2 benefits:

1. the user sees what is beeing processed, it's always interesting
2. In case of a problem, it would be seen there (if you dump the log in there); I've missed a java heap memory several time until I had the idea to look in the log file to see the error message

So, I've tried to run Ubooquity behind haproxy instead of nginx (which worked fine). I can't get it working though. The login page displays fine, but as soon as I login (which also seems to work fine according to the Ubooquity log), I'm getting this error:

502 Bad Gateway

The server returned an invalid or incomplete response.

I might very well have something misconfigured, but it could also be that Ubooquity sense back some slightly wonky response that nginx doesn't mind, but haproxy does.

Does anybody on here run Ubooquity behind haproxy by any chance? Or have any idea what the issue could be?
