ebook-convert : Error: unsupported locale setting

[Ribero]

Hi,

I just upgraded to the latest version of the docker image (v1.2.1 running on Docker on a Synology NAS 6.2). I setup calibre-web to use ebook-ceonvert (instead of kindlegen) with the recommended path (/opt/calibre/ebook-convert). I'm encountering issues when trying to use the "send to kindle" :

I also tried:

bash-4.4# echo $LANG $LC_ALL $LANGUAGE $CONTAINER_TIMEZONE $SET_CONTAINER_TIMEZONE ;

Here is my current setup :

Hi @Ribero

glibc package comes with the following available locale definitions by default - checked with the following command:

bash-4.4# /usr/glibc-compat/bin/locale -a
C
C.utf8
POSIX
bash-4.4# 

I've found the following post gliderlabs/docker-alpine#144 and I'll try to include the suggested solution to get it work for other languages too.

Note: user calibre does not have a home dir. It generates an error when running ebook-convert that wants to write to /home/calibre/.config/calibre...

Manually creating the home dir solves the problem.

And for those wondering:

It works from the CLI but not from the GUI:

Process stuck at 67%, mobi file not created (or, at least, not created at the destination path)

I need to do some more deeper test to get more clues about why it does not work from the GUI...

[Technosoft2000]

Interessting, because I've successfully converted and sent an epub via GUI yesterday.
Could you please change the logging level of Calibre-Web from INFO to DEBUG and test again, then look at the calibre-web.log file via docker exec -it calibre-web tail -f /calibre-web/app/calibre-web.log

Could please check your Converter configuration at Calibe-Web GUI that there is the path /opt/calibre/ebook-convert and not /opt/calibre/bin/ebook-convert

[Ribero]

Gotcha !

changing /opt/calibre/bin/ebook-convert by /opt/calibre/ebook-convert solved the issue.

Thanks a lot !

PS : It's probably a good idea to update the [README.md] (https://github.com/Technosoft2000/docker-calibre-web/blob/master/README.md) to reflect the change

[Technosoft2000]

OMG :-o thanks for the hint regarding the README.md this was really a mistake; I'll correct this immediately :)
