Installation from jar.

Jelu can be run from the jar :

• download the java Jar from the github releases section in a dedicated folder
• go to this folder
• start the jar (it is a spring fat jar so dependencies are included) : eg

java -jar jelu-0.17.0.jar

• If you want to tweak the default config (see src/main/resources/application.yml in the github repo for example), just create a yaml file called application.yml in the same folder as the jar.

For example if you want the database to be located next to the jar file (instead of being located in the default ${user.home}/.jelu/database/ folder) :

jelu:
  database:
    path: .

The automatic metadata online search is provided for the moment through a calibre tool called fetch-ebook-metadata.

So if you want to use it with the java install, provide the path to the executable in the config, like so :

jelu:
  metadata:
    calibre:
      path: /usr/bin/fetch-ebook-metadata

Then open the web UI in your web browser at localhost:11111

Concerning Cors, the default is to accept everything, which you might not not want to do.

No config in the config file is equivalent to :

jelu:
  cors.allowed-origins:
    - "*"

If you want to secure your instance and narrow the allowed origins, update the config with the desired origins like so :

jelu:
  cors.allowed-origins:
    - https://jelu.myserver.org

The default config for java, taken from the src/main/resources/application.yml file is :

jelu:
  database:
    path: ${user.home}/.jelu/database/
  files:
    images: '${user.home}/.jelu/files/images/'
    imports: '${user.home}/.jelu/files/imports/'
  session:
    duration: 604800 #7 days
