Unable to Start Calibre-Web Using Latest Image

General Docker
1

I’m trying to create a fresh container (removing all previous configs) with the latest calibre-web image, however, the container fails to start and I get a bunch of Python error messages from the logs. With previous versions I have had no issues running the container.

Compose file.

  book-viewer:

    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web

    container_name: book-viewer

    hostname: calibre-web

    networks:

      media-net:
        ipv4_address: ${IP_MEDIA_BASE}.${ID_BOOK_VIEWER}

    ports:

      - target: 8083
        published: ${PORT_EXTERNAL_BASE}${ID_BOOK_VIEWER}

    environment:

      - PUID=${PUID}
      - PGID=${PGID}
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - UMASK=${UMASK}
      - OAUTHLIB_RELAX_TOKEN_SCOPE=1

    volumes:

      - type: bind
        source: ${DIR_DOCKER}/calibre-web/config
        target: /config

      - type: bind
        source: ${DIR_MEDIA}/print
        target: /books

    restart: unless-stopped

What is the host os and arch and the output of unname -mr && docker version

if you use a clean config folder, do you still get errors?

unname doesn’t seem to run for me as its not found.

This is with a fresh db file but I guess I can nuke it and try again.

sorry that unname was a typo, it’s just uname

if that’s a fresh container, that’s good enough for now, thank you!

can you share your compose too, please?

Ah my bad. Not too experienced with that command.

uname -mr
4.15.0-200-generic x86_64

I am actually running via Cloudbox which just ansible’s it in, I guess that may use compose, but sorry again something I am not totally clued up on, here is the yaml though.

Can you try setting the security opt seccomp=unconfined?

This did get me going. My logs aren’t too happy, and in my personal setup I needed to do plural for some reason.

security_opts:
      - seccomp=unconfined

And I get something about mod:
