Pre-built Docker images are available in the following Docker Hub repositories (maintained by the LinuxServer team):
A pre-built Docker image is available in these Docker Hub repository (maintained by the LinuxServer team):
Include the environment variable `DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:universal-calibre` in your Docker run/compose file to add the Calibre `ebook-convert` binary (x64 only). Omit this variable for a lightweight image.
Both the Calibre-Web and Calibre-Mod images are automatically rebuilt on new releases and updates.
This image has the option to pull in an extra docker manifest layer to include the Calibre `ebook-convert` binary. Just include the environmental variable `DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/calibre-web:calibre` in your docker run/docker compose file. **(x64 only)**
- Set "path to convertertool" to `/usr/bin/ebook-convert`
- Set "path to unrar" to `/usr/bin/unrar`
If you do not need this functionality then this can be omitted, keeping the image as lightweight as possible.
## Contributor Recognition
Both the Calibre-Web and Calibre-Mod images are rebuilt automatically on new releases of Calibre-Web and Calibre respectively, and on updates to any included base image packages on a weekly basis if required.
