linuxserver/cops
Cops by Sébastien Lucas, now maintained by MikesPub, stands for Calibre OPDS (and HTML) Php Server.
COPS links to your Calibre library database and allows downloading and emailing of books directly from a web browser and provides a OPDS feed to connect to your devices.
Changes in your Calibre library are reflected immediately in your COPS pages.
See : COPS's home for more details.
Don't forget to check the Wiki.
Why? (taken from the author's site)
In my opinion Calibre is a marvelous tool but is too big and has too much dependencies to be used for its content server.
That's the main reason why I coded this OPDS server. I needed a simple tool to be installed on a small server (Seagate Dockstar in my case).
I initially thought of Calibre2OPDS but as it generate static file no search was possible.
Later I added an simple HTML catalog that should be usable on my Kobo.
So COPS's main advantages are :
- No need for many dependencies.
- No need for a lot of CPU or RAM.
- Not much code.
- Search is available.
- With Dropbox / owncloud it's very easy to have an up to date OPDS server.
- It was fun to code.
If you want to use the OPDS feed don't forget to specify feed.php at the end of your URL.
Supported Architectures
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/cops:latest
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Available | Tag |
---|---|---|
x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
armhf | ❌ |
Application Setup
Access the webui at http://<docker host ip>:80
. For connecting via OPDS on a mobile device use http://<docker host ip>:80/feed.php
. It is strongly suggested that you reverse proxy this prior to exposing to the internet. For more information, such as requiring credentials, check the COPS Wiki (linked above).
The linuxserver version gives you access to config_local.php
in /config
to customise your install to suit your needs, it also includes the dependencies required to directly view epub books in your browser.
Usage
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.
docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)
---
version: "2.1"
services:
cops:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/cops:latest
container_name: cops
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Etc/UTC
volumes:
- <path to data>:/config
- <path to data>:/books
ports:
- 80:80
restart: unless-stopped
docker cli (click here for more info)
docker run -d \
--name=cops \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Etc/UTC \
-p 80:80 \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-v <path to data>:/books \
--restart unless-stopped \
lscr.io/linuxserver/cops:latest
Parameters
Containers are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Ports (-p
)
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
80 |
WebUI |
Environment Variables (-e
)
Env | Function |
---|---|
PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
TZ=Etc/UTC |
specify a timezone to use, see this list. |
Volume Mappings (-v
)
Volume | Function |
---|---|
/config |
COPS Application Data. |
/books |
Calibre metadata.db location. |
Miscellaneous Options
Parameter | Function |
---|
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable
Will set the environment variable MYVAR
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable
file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v
flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id your_user
as below:
id your_user
Example output:
uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
-
Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it cops /bin/bash
-
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f cops
-
Container version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' cops
-
Image version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/cops:latest
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Compose
-
Update images:
-
All images:
docker-compose pull
-
Single image:
docker-compose pull cops
-
-
Update containers:
-
All containers:
docker-compose up -d
-
Single container:
docker-compose up -d cops
-
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Run
-
Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/cops:latest
-
Stop the running container:
docker stop cops
-
Delete the container:
docker rm cops
-
Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/config
folder and settings will be preserved) -
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Watchtower auto-updater (only use if you don't remember the original parameters)
-
Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once cops
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
!!! warning
We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using [Docker Compose](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose).
Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
!!! tip
We recommend [Diun](https://crazymax.dev/diun/) for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-cops.git
cd docker-cops
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/cops:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
