This article guides you through the process of setting up the Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) and Calibre-Web to allow collections and books to be synchronised to the Kobo e-reader. Other features like access to Kobo store, Overdrive, Google Drive and Dropbox will not be affected.

• What is articulate in the rest of this article is to enable public secured Internet accessible synchronisation endpoint for Kobo e-reader.
• Calibre-Web presents book download endpoint as HTTP (non-HTTPS) with a port number. Other than the implicit understanding that HTTP and HTTP runs on port 80/tcp and 443/tcp respectively, it is not possible to have both HTTP and HTTPS running on the same port number (e.g., 20080/tcp).
• Only EPUB formatted books can be synchronised. That is, other formats like PDF won't be synchronised due to restrictions on Kobo e-reader.

New docker container networks often take quite a sizable address pool /8 or 255.0.0.0.

The default address pool can be changed via the daemon configuration file for Linux Docker.
