Apologies for reviving an old thread, but Purple Lady has raised a very similar question and use case to mine. I too would like to run Calibre as a daemonized instance and still have the ability to run the wireless device connection element.
I'm not interested in using the GUI to interact with my device - I just want to use an android app (Calibre Sync in my case) to discover the server, navigate and download books.
I can do this when firing the server up as a GUI instance, after enabling with wireless device connection element (again noting that I don't need to use ANY element of the GUI. No need to push to the device, etc.)
I know that this question has come up multiple times in the past few years, but is this something that can now be considered, please?
