I am trying to set up for the first time and the initial scans seem to fail.   This installed via Docker using the recommended settings.

I added the logs below, where it seems to be several errors, but I am not understanding what they are refering to.

Logs:

Either I do something wrong or it is impossible to add two directories with these names: "Totem" and "Totem Adventures and Travels".

When I try to add the second one it tells me that it is already added, something that does not happen at all with versions 2.1.X

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.

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

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 ?

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

Ubooquity est installé sur Synology Container Manager

i just updated to 2.1.5 and was irritated by the about - site, which display 2.1.2 as version.

in the general tab - advanced system info the correct version 2.1.5 is displayed.

thanks for updating this great program

Sadly it's the only version i can use.

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.

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:
