This is an annoyance: when I stop then restart ubooquity [I use ubooquity on a synology NAS], it doesn't remember when the last scan occured. in admin page, the 'last scan' shows nothing, .

I think it would be nice it that this information was stored somewhere in the database so when I restart ubooquity, that information is not lost...

Even better: if you could store the scaning history information in a table, not just the last scan, but register in a table the time and statistics about the last n [n = a certain number] scans. This way, we may be able to extract nice graphics about collection evolution

I have my ubooquity server up and running on a Qnap and it works like a charm until i try to aktivate security login. As soon as i do that and login to the server the comics and books doesnt show anymore . anyone know what i need to do?

I would love to be able to create my own library from the admin page and then allocate a directory to it.

Such as Kids Books /mnt/shared/kids/ebooks

It would be a real bonus to have one additional "Fit To" option for the reader/viewer. There is Fit to Width and Fit to Height but comics with mixed landscape and portrait images are hard to view when set to one or the other. An added option that would fit to whichever dimension is largest would be a boon.

(And once again, thanks for such a great piece of software!)

The old 3.0.0 beta thread was becomming a bit long. Here is a new one for version 3.1.0.

(time to update !)

Hello all,

I wanted to help out a bit because I use Ubooquity a lot and I'm grateful that Tom shares it with us free of charge. Also, I'm retired and a little bit bored. LOL!

Anyway, before Ubooquity v3 came out I was using a Docker install of Ubooquity v2 that was installed through App Central (the app store on my NAS).  I checked out a few themes and settled on Comixology 2.  All was well.  

Then, when v3 became available I wanted to check it out but there was no official App Central release.  So, I downloaded it directly from the website, ran it in an SSH shell, manually poked holes in my firewall, and used a script to start and stop it so I could quickly develop a new theme for it.  Once I finished my theme, I decided to work on creating an .apk that would actually install Ubooquity to the NAS as an app.  Much to my surprise, it was far easier that I thought it would be and, after discussing it with Tom, I was given the green light to show you exactly how to package Ubooquity as an app that can be uploaded and installed manually to an ASUSTOR NAS.

Ubooquity v3.1 ASUSTOR NAS.zip

The above file contains a prepackaged .apk that can be used for new installs.  You need do nothing more than upload the included ubooquity_3.1_x86-64.apk manually in App Central, wait about 10-20 seconds for Ubooquity to fully load, click on the Ubooquity icon to start it in admin mode, setup Ubooquity's libraries, and run your first scan.

However, for those of us who like to customize things like ports, directory structures, and where our databases are kept, I've included pretty detailed instructions in the included README.pdf on how to edit specific files and create your own customized .apk.

Eventually, this process will probably be standardized so that Ubooquity releases can be distributed directly through the Asustor App Central store again.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

G

I've been struggling to run Ubooquity with the latest Java update.

Usually, there's no trouble, I just redirect my shortcut to the new javaw.exe when the version gets updated however this time when I do that nothing happens and the log shows:

It looks like I can run the V3.02 beta but I'd vastly prefer to continue using V2

I have been informed today of a severe vulnerability in the last available version of Ubooquity 2 (version 2.1.2).

A fixed version is available on the usual download page, version 2.1.4.

Please update as soon as possible.

Ubooquity 3 is not impacted by this vulnerability and can be used safely.
