Why would I download and install this software without knowing the features it provides?
I doubt I am alone in this feeling and suggest that a section outlining the features this software provides on the main page.
I understand there might be articles online, or videos, or even a downloadable manual that would tell me but not everyone has time to waste, especially if they eventually find the system id unsuitable.

fichiers Ubooquity sur un autre disque
Bonjour , je souhaiterais que les répertoires (cache , etc...) soient dans un répertoire sur un autre disque alors que Ubooquity.jar et la configuration resterais sur le disque système (debian 12). dans la documentation , il n'y a aucunes explications.
Merci de m'éclairer

Intelligence artificielle et Ubooquity, existe t il des projets
Existe t il quelqu'un qui a imaginé la possibilité de mettre en place une IA en capacité de lire des les contenus des livres et magazines contenus dans Ubooquity pour en ressortir un résumé en cas d'interrogation ?

Impossible de lancer ubooquity admin depuis la dernière mise à jour
Depuis la dernière mise à jour d'ubooquity il est impossible d'acceder au paramétrage. Toutes les données sont effacées, aucun livre affiché, et le mot de passe admin ne fonctionne plus.
Il est impossiblle de passer en mode admin, même après avoir supprimé le fichier webadmin.cred

"Shared books are in a Calibre library" not working
I use ubooquity to access a library on my ereader. This library is managed with calibre. Ubooquity has an advanced option called "Shared books are in a Calibre library", but either this is not working for me or I misunderstand what it does.
What I understand is, that with this option enabled ubooquity should skip the book folder that is created bei calibre. So when I click an author I should see all their books and with another click I should see the details. But with or without this option enabled, when I click an author I see the folders and it needs another click to actually see the book. What do I miss here?
Edit: Nevermind. I noticed it worked with books I added after I set this option. I cleared the database and after a rescan it works as expected. But maybe this should be added to the tooltip.

Synology NAS HDD activity
Hello everyone,
I have installed ubooquity on a Synology NAS running as a Docker/Portainer application. I recently have discovered annoying HDD activity every 5-10 seconds or so all night long on the NAS and found out that this seems to come from Ubooquity.
With Iotop I have found the only HDD write acitivty seems to from:
Any idea how to fix this ?
Thank you in advance

Help with Ubooquity new-setup - can't see my books
Greetings All, I'm new user to Ubooquity, finding it very fascinating and matching my simple needs to read my books collection over browser if possible. to keep it simple, instead of raspberry pi, I'm using old i386 headless linux box with some SSD attached for plex and Ubooquity. Everything looks okay though when I try to login with any users I setup to read the books, it throws me back out to user-login screen. so can't see any books.
video capturing the behavior

Below are the logs and setup details.

Question regarding keystore - Cert
I have created a keystore (JKS) and added my cert as pkcs12 with alias-name ubooq_key, as described in https://vaemendis.github.io/ubooquity-doc/pages/tutorials/lets-encrypt.html.
I added the keystore via the admin-page > Security.
When i hit save & restart, page reloads and tells me "Not connected to server".
The "normal" ubooquity-page wants to download a file "download", but the page doesnt show up.
So here my questions: Did i miss a relevant thing regarding the startup-options?
I am serving ubooquity via start-script (running inside a freebsd-jail).
My domain is ubooquity.home.lan.
Changes the port? Mine is set to 80 and 81 for /admin.
I tried with renaming the keystore from keystore to keystore.jks and ubooq_key and finally ubooq_key.jks, every time changing the settings too, restarted the ubooquity server and every time the same errors.
keytool -list shows the cert as valid.
I am running ubooquity 3.0.2.
Thanks very much for any help.
