Calibre Catalog Question

NetworkGuy · 03-16-2012, 08:47 AM

Hi,

I am thinking of installing Calibre on a Media Server that I have and using the Content Server to make books available on my network. But this system does not really have a monitor and keyboard attached unless I am doing trouble shooting.

My question is what would happen if I started Calibre on a different PC that was using the same catalog? Will the copy on the Media Server recognize the changes? Or will this cause problems and corrupt the catalog?

Thanks,
John

Calibre is Single User (single system).
The content server and the GUI are one system.

VNC/RDC to your headless server for all Calibre data(book) changes

The Content Server can be run seperate from the Calibre program. What would be the impact of running th content server on my Media Server and updating from a different PC?

Tat is 2 Systems involved

The SQL DB server is running on the Media Server in your case. AStarting a GUI on you PC stars ANOTHER SQL server

I use VNC or RDC to remote control the PC running Calibre if I am remote.
That is legal (DB wise
