Right, calibre server is already listening on that port because the service was already running. I ended up editing the calibre-server.service file directly and changed the --enable-local-write to --enable-auth and then reloading the service (but it took a while and other help to figure that out).

So my library seems secure now, but even though I had added a user beforehand, I can't actually log in with it. I thought maybe the user information didn't save, but that wasn't the problem. Tried deleting and adding a new user and restarting the service, but that didn't work either.

Following the documentation here for managing users, I have the same problem in the original post because the service is already running, so not really sure how to proceed. https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/ser...mand-line-only
