Unable to use/run HeadLess Server Ubuntu 22.04 was created by CHC

Hello everyone,

As stated in the subject, I try to install Headless Server on an Ubuntu as a service, but no luck.
Using the doc found on Github, I tried to install it as user. When I do that it doesn't start :

Code:

Then I tried to use it as system (my preferred way as I dont want to keep a user open session on the server just to run YAC server) :

Code:

It launches but with no Library

Then I try to add an existing one (the same present in the log from userland above)

Code:

root@jdrien:~/.local/share/YACReader/YACReaderLibrary# YACReaderLibraryServer add-library /home/christophe/OneDrive/Books/BDs/ BDs
Directory not found.

Unable to add a Library (and unable to know where it find the config)

Does anybody have any clue about this ?

I tried with Docker and the result is the same as with system/root, "Directory not found"

Thank you in advance,

Christophe

IIRC add-library ads an existing library, you need to create one first with create-library

if you run yacreadelibraryserver with no arguments it should print a small help, try yacreaderlibraryserver -h followed by a command to learn more about it

Hi Luis,

I already have a library created, I can access it thru samba with Yacreader Library from my Macbook Air.
I just want to add the same library in headlessserver, which is supposed to be done by add-library

Try this:

Code:

YACReaderLibraryServer add-library BDs /home/christophe/OneDrive/Books/BDs

The syntax is add-library name path

Ah !
Thank you Luis, I was able to add the Library.

Code:

christophe@jdrien:~$ sudo YACReaderLibraryServer add-library comics /home/christophe/OneDrive/Books/BDs
Library added : comics at /home/christophe/OneDrive/Books/BDs

But still unable to reach it with YACReader on my iPad.

And status doesn't show a Library available :

Did you restarted the server after adding the library?

Hello Luis,

Yes I did.

Strange thing. When using the YACReaderLibrary command, the .in,i file in root/.local/... is well updated with the LIbrary, but it seems the service doesn't read this ini file.

And I am unable to figure out where is the config directory used when launching the service.

I could use screeen to launch the server and be able to cut the session and let the server run, but there is no way to relaunch it automagically if there is a reboot.

Christophe.

Hmmm, do a search in your hard disk for yacreaderlibrary.ini files. I would expect to systemd to use the root home folder, but it looks like it isn't doing that.

But if you can't make it work this way, this docker image should do the trick github.com/xthursdayx/yacreaderlibrary-server-docker

It is really well documented and setting it up shouldn't be hard.

Thank you for the insight about the docker version

But it doesn't seem to change anything, same message :

Code:

root@jdrien:~# docker run -d --name=YACReaderLibraryServer -e PUID=1000 -p 8080:8080 -v /root/.local/share/YACReader/YACReaderLibrary:/config -v /home/christophe/OneDrive/Books/BDs/:/comics --restart unless-stopped xthursdayx/yacreaderlibrary-server-docker

Hello Luis,

Don't pay attention to the previous message, I finally found the solution by reading the docker doc more attentively.

root@jdrien:~# docker exec YACReaderLibraryServer YACReaderLibraryServer add-library comics /comics
Library added : comics at /comics

THank you for your help
