Managing user accounts from the command-line only
-----------------------------------------------------
The calibre program has a nice section in :guilabel:`Preferences` to allow you
to manage user accounts for the server. However, if you want to run the
standalone server and cannot run the main calibre program on the same
computer/user account, you can also manage users using just the command-line.
You can manage user accounts using the ``--manage-users`` option
to the standalone ``calibre-server`` program. Suppose you want to store
the user database in the directory ``/srv/calibre``, then you create it
by running::
calibre-server --userdb /srv/calibre/users.sqlite --manage-users
Just follow the prompts to create user accounts, set their permission, etc.
Once you are done, you can run the server as::
calibre-server --userdb /srv/calibre/users.sqlite --enable-auth
It will use the user accounts you created in the previous step.
Integrating the calibre Content server into other servers
