calibre-web-automated:
    image: crocodilestick/calibre-web-automated:latest
    container_name: calibre-web-automated
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=100
      - TZ=UTC
      - DOCKER_MODS=lscr.io/linuxserver/mods:universal-calibre-v7.16.0
    volumes:
      - ${CONFIG_ROOT:-.}/calibre/config-cwa:/config
      - ${CONFIG_ROOT:-.}/calibre/config-cwa/calibre-library:/calibre-library
      - ${APPHOME_ROOT}/book-ingest:/cwa-book-ingest
      - ${DATA_ROOT}/books:/books
    ports:

• Set database config to use /calibre-library and /books
  
• Copy files into cwa-book-inject
• Click Refresh Library

Expected behavior
Books should be in /books but are ending up in the /calibre-library

Unexpected behavior
Setting the database config as above breaks the cover images
Downloads 404

Configuration(please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu Server
• Hardware: x86 server
• Version: Latest?

Additional context
No original database/config. I've removed the config dir and started over with each test

CONFIG_ROOT is local
Other *_ROOTS are on NAS

Found where the path is used in calibre-web.
Too late for me to dig further.

This issue should be higher priority than others as it's a breaking change of stock calibre-web feature.

Ingest script will need to respect this setting.

Closing as fixed. See conversation in PR #93

@tucker87 Please keep this issue open, the split library issue still remains.

I'm experiencing the same issue, please re-open.
I have my books on an SMB share and I don't want to put the metadata.db file there as well, it should be separated.

[tucker87]

Sorry! My mistake. I don't use this project anymore and thought the recent PRs were correcting the issue,

Hi all, I wasn't aware of this CW feature and so CWAs features have never been written to support it. As of V2.1.0, the option to enable Split Libraries has been temporarily removed to prevent confusion but enabling of the feature is currently being worked on for V2.2.0
