I just worked (slowly - I'm no techie) through the instructions in the thread at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64095 You end up having to run this to create the webpages. So I do it after any significant additions to the library. I suppose that could be considered tedious but it seems OK to me.

And once the library was being stored in Dropbox anyway I've switched to using the portable version of calibre so my calibre settings are all the same whether I run it at home or at work.
There is detailed online documentation at the calibre2opds home site. This is a lot more detailed than the thread in this forum. Suggestions on improving the documentation are always welcome, especially if there are areas new users find are unclear or contain insufficient information.
