Cannot setup new container with metadata db

[j-c]

Describe the bug/problem

Browsing to a NFS share with permissions issues does not error as expected.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Database Configuration
2. Click on the folder icon to select a file location.

• This step opens a file browser which starts in /app/calibre-web with the following items .., .github & cps.

3. Browse to /books. This is where the container has mounted my library.

• At this step, instead of seeing folders of authors & the metadata file, I only see the same 3 items from step Book description html is broken #2. See screenshot below.
• If I attach access the container's terminal, the directory seems to have mounted fine.

4. If I continue and hit save, the textbox is filled with /books but won't save (error: DB Location is not Valid, Please Enter Correct Path)

Expected behavior

A warning or error that the directory couldn't be accessed.

Screenshots

Browsing books directory doesn't show actual contents.

Lising metadata.db file from within the docker container.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Docker on Ubuntu 24.04
• Calibre-Web version: Container build version Linuxserver.io version:- 0.6.24-ls315 Build-date:- 2025-02-16T02:07:50+00:00
• Docker container: LinuxServer lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web:latest
• Browser: Edge Version 132.0.2957.140 (Official build) (64-bit); Firefox 35.0 (64-bit)

Additional context

Webservice call to http://<host_ip>:8083/ajax/pathchooser/?path=%2Fbooks&folder=false&filter=metadata.db returns the wrong directory (./).

Response:

{"cwd": "./", "files": [{"name": ".github", "fullpath": "./.github", "sort": "./.github", "type": "dir", "size": ""}, {"name": "cps", "fullpath": "./cps", "sort": "./cps", "type": "dir", "size": ""}], "parentdir": "../", "type": "folder", "oldfile": "", "absolute": false}

I don't know why the app can't browse the /books directory while the container's terminal can.
