First, download and install the calibre main program

Many related files will be downloaded under /opt/calibre/, and we especially need the ebook-convert inside it.

root@was:/home/calibre-web# ls /opt/calibre
bin                calibre-debug     calibre_postinstall  ebook-edit    fetch-ebook-metadata  lrfviewer         resources
calibre            calibre-parallel  calibredb            ebook-meta    lib                   lrs2lrf           share
calibre-complete   calibre-server    ebook-convert        ebook-polish  libexec               markdown-calibre  translations
calibre-customize  calibre-smtp      ebook-device         ebook-viewer  lrf2lrs               plugins           web2disk

Configure the calibre-web compose.yaml file

version: "2.1"
services:
  calibre-web:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web:latest
    container_name: calibre-web
    environment:
      - PUID=1000

    volumes:
      - /opt/calibre-web/config:/config
      - /opt/calibre-web/books:/books
      - /opt/calibre:/opt/calibre # map /opt/calibre properly here
    ports:
