Need help to setup Ubooquity with panels

@Chrrs

The issue on my configuration was a wrong port, so yes it work behind a reverse proxy, I’m using https if it can help

@James_Purcell

It’s asking for you ubooquity adress, so basically the URL you type to access your server on a browser, if you have a reverse server it should look like https://myserver.com/comics but if it’s only local it should be something like “MyServerIp:Port”

You can manage the accounts on the security part on the admin panel of ubooquity, I hope it’s helps you

@Myhrdin

When i look at my local server, the URL looks like

http://localhost:2202/comics/1/

I tried plugging my IP address into the localhost part and haven’t had any further luck connecting.

Wow. Okay. so the trick seems to be, just slap your raw IP address into the URL slot, with nothing else. And have your port, username, and password set up.

Got it working now.

Hi James,
Can you help me out, I’m having the same issue you had, not sure if I need to do more with my router and or Ubooquity.
On the router side I have my IP address pointing to TCP 2202.
I have opds enables in Ubooquity
For panels I put in after https my raw IP address, then for port I use 2202, Ubooquity from what I can see doesn’t use User IDs so that’s blank, and password is the one I created for Ubooquity when I first used it.
Am I missing something?! Any help is appreciated. As I can’t seem to use opds anywhere else either

Okay, so I’m pretty sure your problem is with the Username and Password part. You don’t use your Ubooquity password. Instead, open the Ubooquity Admin Screen and go to the Security Tab. Click Add User and create a really simple username and password. Then go to the Comics tab and next to your Shared Folder there is an icon with a two people, click that and choose the User name you just set up. Save and Restart Ubooquity.

When you want to use Ubooquity in Panels, that is the Username and Password you need to use. Hope this helps.

EDIT: Also, take out the Https and backslashes part of the IP Address. When I say RAW IP, I mean just the IP.

I recommend using Komga over Ubooquity. Ubooquity annoys me with its requiring the admin thing to run on a different port, the root path stuff, and other things.

Thanks James! I’ll give that a shot

Hi Clay,
Never used that program. Is it similar to Ubooquity? At this point I’m mainly looking for a way to neatly share my organized digital comic collection with my family and access it when not in my home (without needing a NAS set up or some file exchange with google drive or Dropbox) I hoped Comicrack would do it but that doesn’t seem to work, so trying Ubooquity.

Yes, very much like Ubooquity, except a little less janky and with a very responsive developer.

I can’t get into my server at all. I setup Uboquity to use OPDS. I can get in on a web browser, but not through Panels. If it helps I’m getting some sort of SSL error.

EDIT: This is the exact message. “We were not able to find your OPDS Server. The following error was found: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made.”

This is what I use trying to use OPDS

Host: https://[computer network IP]
Port: 2202
Username [User made in Uboquity]
Password [User password for above]

Take this out. Host: https://[computer network IP]
So it looks like. Host:[computer network IP]

Also, your Username and Password should be created in the Security Tab, not the ones you use to login to Ubooquity.

I’ve tried removing the https:// like you said and the username and password are set in the security tab. This time it just says that it can’t find the OPDS server. I’ve even tried on my main PC instead of my media server and the same thing.

@Vebent based on your previous message, it looks like you’re not including the full OPDS feed.

for an Ubooquity server, it should be

Host: [computer network IP]/opds-comics
Port: 2202
Username [User made in Uboquity]
Password [User password for above]

let me know if that worked.

This actually worked. Thank you for the help.

Hey I had this working a few weeks ago I went to pull some new comics from my Ubooquity server and the last few days I have been getting the error “An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made.” I am running Ubooquity with letsencrypt wildcard SSL within a NGINX reverse proxy.

https://ubooquityaddress.com/opds-comics
port:443
Username: user made in Ubooquity
Password: Ubooquity password

@Greengiant that error is triggered by iOS, not Panels. Sounds like the secure connection cannot be established, probably due to an issue with the certificate.
Is it possible the certificate is expired?

Hey @dani that was it for me my script to run certbot each month failed. I really appreciate your help and the quick response.
