Hi

I have just installed Calibre to my NAS, Synology 710+. which is intel based.
Since my NAS doesn't have display output, I had to use Xming to load up the GUI.
It works, I can add books, conver ebooks, and do the stuffs, but I don't want to run Xming every time I need an operation.
The ebooks I have already are in the NAS, so if I can do something like just importing the whole directory then the work will be easy.
The other problem of using Xming is that, if I'm not home, then I cannot add book at all.
I want to run the Calibre server and access to ebooks outside my home, add books if I get new one, and etc.
So, is there any way to add book not using GUI?
For example, I can designate a folder, and if I upload some ebooks from outside then the server will fetch it periodically.
I thought recipe might help, but looks like it is for RSS feed, not for my use.

Thanks!
