NAME¶
calibredb - calibredb
calibredb kommando [valgmuligheter] [argumenter]
calibredb is the command line interface to the calibre database. It has several sub-commands, documented below.
calibredb can be used to manipulate either a calibre database specified by path or a calibre Content server running either on the local machine or over the internet. You can start a calibre Content server using either the calibre-server program or in the main calibre program click Connect/share → Start Content server. Since calibredb can make changes to your calibre libraries, you must setup authentication on the server first. There are two ways to do that:
- If you plan to connect only to a server running on the same computer, you can simply use the --enable-local-write option of the Content server, to allow any program, including calibredb, running on the local computer to make changes to your calibre data. When running the server from the main calibre program, this option is in Preferences → Sharing over the net → Advanced.
- If you want to enable access over the internet, then you should setup user accounts on the server and use the --username and --password options to calibredb to give it access. You can setup user authentication for calibre-server by using the --enable-auth option and using --manage-users to create the user accounts. If you are running the server from the main calibre program, use Preferences → Sharing over the net → Require username/password.
To connect to a running Content server, pass the URL of the server to the --with-library option, see the documentation of that option for details and examples.

GLOBALE INSTILLINGER¶
- --help, -h
- show this help message and exit
- --library-path, --with-library
- Path to the calibre library. Default is to use the path stored in the settings. You can also connect to a calibre Content server to perform actions on remote libraries. To do so use a URL of the form: http://hostname:port/#library_id for example, http://localhost:8080/#mylibrary. library_id is the library id of the library you want to connect to on the Content server. You can use the special library_id value of - to get a list of library ids available on the server. For details on how to setup access via a Content server, see https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/generated/en/calibredb.html.
- --password
- Password for connecting to a calibre Content server. To read the password from standard input, use the special value: <stdin>. To read the password from a file, use: <f:/path/to/file> (i.e. <f: followed by the full path to the file and a trailing >). The angle brackets in the above are required, remember to escape them or use quotes for your shell.
- --timeout
- The timeout, in seconds, when connecting to a calibre library over the network. The default is two minutes.
- --username
- Username for connecting to a calibre Content server
- --version
- show program's version number and exit

The cloned library will contain no books. If you want to create a full duplicate, including all books, then simply use your filesystem tools to copy the library folder.
Whenever you pass arguments to calibredb that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
EMBED_METADATA¶
calibredb embed_metadata [options] book_id
Update the metadata in the actual book files stored in the calibre library from the metadata in the calibre database. Normally, metadata is updated only when exporting files from calibre, this command is useful if you want the files to be updated in place. Note that different file formats support different amounts of metadata. You can use the special value 'all' for book_id to update metadata in all books. You can also specify many book ids separated by spaces and id ranges separated by hyphens. For example: calibredb embed_metadata 1 2 10-15 23
Whenever you pass arguments to calibredb that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"

- status
- Shows the current indexing status
- reindex
- Can be used to re-index either particular books or the entire library. To re-index particular books specify the book ids as additional arguments after the reindex command. If no book ids are specified the entire library is re-indexed.
Whenever you pass arguments to calibredb that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
- --indexing-speed
- The speed of indexing. Use fast for fast indexing using all your computers resources and slow for less resource intensive indexing. Note that the speed is reset to slow after every invocation.
