What you get
Calibre Web runs on a subscription — a pool of CPU, memory and disk that you own. Deploying it takes one click, and the same pool will run your other apps at no extra charge.
A hostname with HTTPS, immediately
Your app is reachable the moment it finishes deploying, on a certificate we issue and renew. Point your own domain at it whenever you like.
Nothing exposed but the app
Only Calibre Web itself gets a public port. Anything it depends on stays on a private network unreachable from the internet.
A console and SFTP
A real shell in the container and SFTP for its files. This is not a black box — if you want to get in and look, you can.
Updates you control
We check nightly for a new image and tell you when one lands. Applying it is your decision, per app, and a failed update rolls back to the exact image it replaced.
A free snapshot
One full archive of Calibre Web included, restorable in a click. Keep more with the snapshots add-on.
Your data, exportable
SFTP access to everything the app stores. Nothing here is locked in.
What actually runs
No mystery images. Calibre Web deploys one container, and these are exactly the ones:
lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web:latestapp
Running Calibre Web yourself vs. running it here
Calibre Web is free software and you can absolutely run it yourself — we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. What you are paying for here is the part around it.
On your own server
- You write the compose file and keep it working
- You configure a reverse proxy and renew certificates
- You watch for new releases and apply them
- You own the backups, and finding out they were broken
On Caliber Node
- One click, and it is running on HTTPS
- Certificates issued and renewed for you
- Update checks nightly, applied when you say so
- A free snapshot, restorable in a click
Questions about Calibre Web hosting
- Can I try Calibre Web for free?
- Yes. Every new account gets $5.00 of Cloud Apps credit, applied automatically to your first invoice -- there is no code to enter and no card trial to cancel. On the plan Calibre Web needs, that covers your first month.
- How do I install Calibre Web?
- Pick Calibre Web from the catalog and deploy it. There is no compose file to write, no server to prepare and no reverse proxy to configure. It comes up on a hostname with HTTPS already working.
- What does hosting Calibre Web cost?
- Calibre Web needs at least 2 GB memory, so the Small subscription at $4.00 a month is the smallest that fits it. That size is a close fit for Calibre Web on its own -- if you want to run other apps alongside it, take the next plan up and share the pool.
- Do I get access to the Calibre Web files and database?
- Yes. Every app has a console for a shell in the container, SFTP for its files. Your data is yours and you can take it out whenever you want.
- Are updates to Calibre Web automatic?
- Only if you turn them on. We check nightly for a new image and tell you when one exists, but applying it is your call, per app.
- Can I use my own domain for Calibre Web?
- Yes. Every app gets a hostname on our domain immediately, and you can point your own domain at it instead. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically either way.
- Can I back Calibre Web up?
- Every app includes one free snapshot -- a full archive of its data you can restore from. Keeping more than one is a paid add-on on the subscription.
