install calibre
works better on debian buster, than debian bullseye
get buster
sudo apt update
sudo apt install calibre
create library and add a book
The location of the directory will be in my home folder, which is /home/simoon.
mkdir calibre-library
wget http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/46.kindle.noimages -O christmascarol.mobi
Then, we use calibredb to add the book to our library
calibredb add *.mobi --with-library calibre-library/
You should get a message saying "1 book added".
Next, we're going to use calibre-server to start the service.
calibre-server calibre-library
