Some problems around covers, convert and ownership

[muisje]

Hey,

i used calibre-web, which was working fine for me, but i found out about this and trying it out. The thing is there are some problems

1. No cover images
2. Can't convert to kepub

I'm using this docker image crocodilestick/calibre-web-automated:latest

All the volumes match the user/ group ownership configured in the compose file.

1. No cover images

The books have cover images. It showed in calibre-web, but now not in calibre-web-automated. The covers are still in the folders for each book named cover.jpg.

when trying to upload one manually im getting this: Failed to create path for cover

2. Can't convert to kepub

relevant logs:

calibre-web-automated | [convert-library]: (1/44) *** NOTICE TO USER: Kepubify is limited in that it can only convert from epubs. To get around this, CWA will automatically convert other supported formats to epub using the Calibre's conversion tools & then use Kepubify to produce your desired kepubs. Obviously multi-step conversions aren't ideal so if you notice issues with your converted files, bare in mind starting with epubs will ensure the best possible results***

calibre-web-automated | OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: 'kepubify'

I think there's a problem with kepubify. I couldn't execute it manually either inside the container.

So im running it on arm64. I changed this in the docker file:

https://github.com/pgaskin/kepubify/releases/download/${KEPUBIFY_RELEASE}/kepubify-linux-arm64 && \

chmod +x /usr/bin/kepubify

so it got the kebupify for my architecture.

covers do still not work. I think it's an ownership issue?

this is the log now when im trying to convert:

Also it shows Cover not available when syncing with my kobo ereader

kepubify error when convert will be fixed with this pr: #268

[GianniBYoung]

I have also noticed various issues with covers not appearing correctly on my kobo. I set the cover in cwa and it appears correctly in the ui.

When I download the kepub from cwa (explicit conversion not convert on send) the downloaded kepub does not have my chosen cover
