cp .env.example .env

See: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/configuration#environment-configuration

Configuring Calibre

This application uses Laravel's Filesystem interface, as such, the library can be stored locally (using the LocalAdapter) or supported cloud services such as Amazon S3 or Dropbox. You can configure them by following the documentation.

Once the filesystem disks are setup, append the following values to your .env file.

CALIBRE_DISK={{ Filesystem disk }}
CALIBRE_PATH={{ Path to calibre library }}

Laravel requires SQLite databases to be stored locally, thus, copy your calibre database file (metadata.db) to storage/app/calibre. Or if your filesystem is already setup, run the command below to download the database directly from your storage disk:

php artisan calibre:download-db

Deployment

Follow the instructions on the Laravel Documentation.
