Hi folks,
I have searched, and found similar issues, but nothing that helps me with this exact issue.
I run my docker containers on an Ubuntu box with a handful of nfs shares mounted
It was working, all was okay, but I wanted to move to a more usable directory structure for readarr etc. so stopped the container (using docker stop containerid )
moved all of the files to a new location on the NAS (using the synology “move” in DSM) - the files are in the new location, Calibre can open them fine.
I changed my /etc/fstab entry to change the nfs mount to the new structure, and restarted the container using docker compose up.
my docker-compose.yml:
services:
calibre-web:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web:latest
container_name: calibre-web
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
- DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:universal-calibre
- OAUTHLIB_RELAX_TOKEN_SCOPE=1
volumes:
- ./config:/config
- /mnt/allmedia/Library/books/Kindle2025:/books
ports:
- 8083:8083
restart: unless-stopped
now I get the “no valid calibre database” message…
What I don’t understand - on the host linux, I can navigate to
/mnt/allmedia/Library/books/Kindle2025
and see the books and calibre database there. valid sqlite DB.

When I access the web UI, I get the error;
DB Location is not Valid, Please Enter Correct Path
but when I shell into the container, /books is mounted;
drwxrwxrwx 401 1027 users 20480 Apr 27 20:10 books/
And more perplexing - the database is there.
from the container bash shell, I can head the calibre database;
head metadata.db
11Ytablebooks_ratings_linkbooks_ratings_linkCREATE TABLE books_ratings_link ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
book INTEGER NOT NULL,
rating INTEGER NOT NULL,
UNIQUE(book, rating)

)I
J //Ctablebooks_plugin_databooks_plugin_dataqlite_autoindex_books_publishers_link_1books_publishers_link
CREATE TABLE books_plugin_data(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
Which looks pretty valid to me…
So, what is going on? how come I can see the database from the container shell, but not from the calibreweb app?
any help is gratefully received!
