Sync library between server and laptop
Hello,
I have a Raspberry Pi running a headless calibre (0.8.51) and a MacBook running also calibre. My idea is to keep the two libraries in sync so if I add a book on one computer I will also be able to access it from the second.
Now, I am trying to define a strategy to avoid troubles.
I know that if I try to sync one library while the very same library is also being used by calibre I can corrupt the database. But then, calibre on the raspberry is always on (I use it to download recipes). If I make sure that calibre on the raspberry is adding books only when no sync is going on (that is, calibre is running but not accessing the library), do I still risk to corrupt the database? Should I then make sure that when I sync both calibre are off?
Also, the fact that calibre on the Raspberry is a much older version than calibre on the mac could create compatibility issue while accessing the same library?
Thanks
