I had a hard time seeing up calibre web because I did not know calibre before. Also I had no clue if the volumes should be files or directories let alone what a calibre database looks like. At some point I lost all my uploaded books because I had my local metadata.db mapped to file in the container which worked. But once I uploaded media all ended up in the same directory as metadata.db inside the container, however this directory was not mapped. It was a bit painful. Maybe me few words here help others.
