Calibre-Web giving an internal server error

Posted by lifeisstory

Calibre-Web is giving me an internal server error on all pages on launch. According to TomAI Calibre-Web's container is up and healthy. The problem is inside its user database. The traceback ends in AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name' in cps/ub.py, where Calibre-Web loads its anonymous (guest) user record. That record is missing from its database. Calibre-Web needs it for every request that isn't signed in, including the login page and the error page, so every visit ends in a 500.

Sorry this has Calibre-Web failing on every page. An error on the login page as well means it needs a proper look. The explanation in your post came from the SparkBox AI helper. We have not been able to confirm it from our side, so please don't act on its steps yet, and please don't delete or edit anything in Calibre-Web's config folder while we work out what is happening. To narrow it down, tell us which kind of box you run (Windows with WSL, Windows with Docker Desktop, a NAS, a VPS, or a Linux PC), the SparkBox version shown on your dashboard, and whether the error started after an update or a restart.
