Hello,

how can I access files from other apps?

For example: I have installed Calibre Web and Syncthing, for syncing all my ebooks from my notebook  
to umbrel. In Syncthing all files were sent to /var/syncthing/Calibre.  
But I cannot find the folder in Calibre Web? Also I cannot find the book folder of Calibre Web in Syncthing.

Thank you very much for help.

Bumping this. I tried specifying the path in docker-compose.yml (which works for jellyfin) but it does not seem to be working for Calibre Web unless there’s something I’m missing. Currently Calibre is not usable for me
