Description

Ubooquity is a free home server for your comics and ebooks library. Ubooquity supports many types of files, with a preference for ePUB, CBZ, CBR and PDF files.

Shared folders

Since Ubooquity is not an open source app which is more oriented to root access we had to make a workaround when it comes to setting paths for directories where your Comics/Books are located.

In order to add the path for comics/books that you want to share you need to follow these steps:

Shutdown your Ubooquity app via your box dashboard.

Access your box via SSH by using terminal or Kitty(For Windows users).

Once you have accessed your box , you need to open your Ubooquity config by typing:

nano ~/.config/ubooquity/preferences.json

You will see a config file like this one

In comicsPaths you need to add the path(pathString) and the user(userName) that will have access to that path.

Copy the template from below:

{
    &quotpathString&quot : &quot&quot,
    &quotuserName&quot : [ &quot&quot ]
  },

and paste it in your Ubooquity config file (for kitty users right click of your mouse is the paste button) as shown on the screenshot below:

You will have to fill out the path before finishing. In this wiki i will use my home directory path to fill out the details.

You can find out what&#39s your home folder path by going to your box details. In my case it will be /home/hd1/alchemist. I want to add a directory called torrents/comics and i want to give access to username called alchemist so i will fill out the details as shown below :

After i have finished filling out the info i used ctrl + O to save the config file and ctrl + X to leave the config file.

Last step is to start your Ubooquity back up and you&#39re good to go.

I checked my Ubooquity admin panel and i could see that i successfully added the path that i wanted:

Configuring OPDS feed

For configuring an external app do access your Ubooquity server, you&#39ll first need to make sure that the option is enabled under Advanced in Ubooquity settings.

On the external app, you&#39ll be asked the URL of the feed, which should be in the following format:

https://&ltusername&gt.&ltappbox name&gt.bysh.me/ubooquity/opds-&ltcomics or books&gt

There&#39s no need to include the port number, as some tutorials say.
