Hi all,

I'm still fairly new to Docker but have managed to get several
containers up and running (Plex, Sabnzbd, \*arr apps etc). I'm trying
to set up Calibre using the docker-compose provided by
[linuxserver.io](https://linuxserver.io):

    version: "2.1"
    services:
      calibre:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre:latest
        container_name: calibre
        environment:
          - PUID=1000
          - PGID=100
          - TZ=Europe/London
        volumes:
          - /share/Public/data/:/data
          - /share/appdata/calibre:/config
        ports:
          - 6666:8080
          - 6667:8181
          - 6668:8081
        restart: unless-stopped
        network_mode: "bridge"

The container starts but I'm unable to access the GUI and get the
terminal output below:

    [migrations] started
    [migrations] no migrations found
    usermod: no changes

I'm at a loss as to what might be the issue and Google hasn't helped
too much. Thanks in advance!

remove the network\_mode and re-create the container, then check if it
exposes the ports.

docker ps | grep calibre

netstat -tlnp | grep  # one of your exposed ports

For docker ps | grep calibre I get:

    6ddb8e31ccb0   lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre:latest   "/init"
3 minutes ago   Up 3 minutes   3000-3001/tcp, 0.0.0.0:6666->8080/tcp,
0.0.0.0:6668->8081/tcp, 0.0.0.0:6667->8181/tcp
calibre

For netstat -tlnp | grep 4444 I get:

    netstat: showing only processes with your user ID
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4444            0.0.0.0:*

So you should able to reach port 4444 from the host machine.

curl [http://localhost:4444](http://localhost:4444)

If you can reach the port, the last step is port forwarding if your
host is behind a firewall/router/modem.

Looking at the output of curl it was clear that some other service
(maybe without a gui web interface?) is using this port. Stupid
mistake on my part - I've changed the port redirect and it is now
working. Thanks for the help!
