I am on FreeBSD as a root user.

I downloaded the .jar file and placed it in a 'Ubooquity' directory in my user folder.  When I ran it from a browser (:2203/admin) it created all the associated files and folder structure in the root of my file system.

What have I dont wrong?  How can I fix or change this?  I don't mind starting again.

Hi all,

Ubooquity 2.1.0.r2 running on NAS Asustor AS6404 , from admin view the scan of books and comics completed, reading the log with ssh I can see the entries and no errors, but when enter as a user the books and comics are empty, suggestions about how to fix ? The images in the cache are present

Thanks

Ubooquity is not displaying any metadata, specifically the books description. When I select a ebook and get the pop up where you can click to “Download” or “Read” there is no text describing the book.

I have used LazyLibrarian to organize my ebook using basically the defaults. This results in a folder structure much like this example:

/mnt/media/ebook/Priya Krishna/
└── Indian-ish
         ├── Indian-ish - Priya Krishna.epub
         ├── Indian-ish - Priya Krishna.jpg
         └── Indian-ish - Priya Krishna.opf

I was expecting Ubooquity to be taking the metadata from the .opf file is that not the case?

I have checked and there are no permission issues on .opf file. Also below is my Ubooquity system info:

Hi All,

New to the community.  I've grown tired of using Apple's iBooks and stumbled across Ubooquity when searching for a server based alternative.  I currently utilize Plex (for several years running) and Emby (new to me) for music and video based media, but was quite disappointed to learn neither offered support for books or comics.

The disappointment only led to further frustration when I discovered that Ubooquity does not support newer versions of Java beyond Java 8.  I'm not the best at coding or programming, I've attempted to install a workaround with Homebrew on my Mac, to be able to have multiple versions of Java running at once.  I'm not sure exactly what it is that I'm doing wrong and would love some help from the more experienced hands in the community.  That or request that support for newer Java versions be added by Ubooquity.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

I was running Ubooquity very well until I imported 30.000 books and it crashed. Now even after a reboot when I try to access I see the spinning circle.Do you know if is there a fix and or a limit in how many books you can import?
Regards.

I have been using Ubooquity for several years, but recently I have been trying to set up NGINX for reverse proxy with TLS enabled via LetsEncrypt/Certbot on the horizon.

I was following along with some of the comments here and set up my ubooquity_reverse_proxy.conf file like this:

<code>server {
listen 2204;
listen 2205;


server_name ubooquity;

location /library {
proxy_pass http://my.subdomain.here:2204;
}

location /library/admin {
proxy_pass http://my.subdomain.here:2205;
}

}</code>

I kept getting error messages in NGINX saying that ports 2204 and 2205 were already being used and would fail to start.

I tried to kill the processes that may have been listening on those ports, but by the time I got NGINX to start, it would direct me to a 500 error page for /library/admin and a 404 for /library.

When I tried running the jar via the command line it would not start. Initially I got errors saying the DB was already being used. I checked but there were no other instances of Ubooquity running. So I backed up my database and deleted that version out of my /opt/ubooquity directory.

Now when I try to run Ubooquity.jar i get a different error:

I checked and I'm running Java 8 so I can't figure out what it could be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to map paths for the linux server docker image for Ubooquity, I came across 'Raw Files'. What is this folder supposed to be for?

Hello, I am truing to switch to Ubooquitey from Calibre, but I am having an issue.

Specifically, it seems to be refusing to see some of my PDFs. For instance, in the folder in question I have 23 PDFs, but UB only shows 18. There is nothing in the logs (literally nothing). There is nothing in particular weird about the file names. 

I am very glad that I did not bulk move all my books. I would have no way of knowing (not initially, anyway) that some books were not getting picked up. a few misses out of thousands of books would have gone unnoticed.

Please advise

I have downloaded Chunk Comic Reader but when I open the app there is just a big white square and very little else. So I guess I have to download a comic first into it? But there is NOTHING that tells me simply how to do this. I think I have to download Ubooquity to do this , so I do it and then I'm told I've got to install Java 8 which I do, then I'm told I have to install a JDK so I do. But there's is nothing to actually click on to either open ubooquity or really do anything at all! 

Please help - I read the Chunky is the best comoic reader so am loathe to simply bin everything and try something else.

Hi Tom ! 

After a long trip searching on the Internet, finally i found this project.Thanks for this amazing free project, it's so unique anywhere.  But seems the latest update is traced back to 2018. Another sad fact is kuboo--the Android app for ubooquity also stops updating.....

I love this project so much and have given a suggestion , however , having no reply....

Just curious if this project still under working? Any improvement coming? Thanks again!
