k:/var/run/docker.sock -v /captain:/captain caprover/caprover

Download this fresh metadata.db file on your host. Credits to iJebus
Create /books folder on your container and chmod
docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID mkdir /books
docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID chmod a+w /books
Place the metadata.db file on the /books path and chmod it to be readable
docker cp /path/METADATA.DB.FILE CONTAINER_ID:/books/
docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID chmod a+w /books/METADATA.DB.FILE
Verify
docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID ls -lah /books
Use /books/ as Location and Click save. Worked like a charm for me!
