ReiskaC · 03-30-2014, 06:02 PM

I'd like to move my Calibre library and the server component to my always-on home server which runs Ubuntu server without a screen (and no X installed) and do the library administration of the library from my workstation over the network with the Calibre GUI client. (i.e. move the library on my network share on the Linux box)

I've googled around all evening and there doesn't seem to be a suitable recipe for installing only the server components on my headless / X'less / Qt-less server. The Ubuntu package of Calibre wants to install all kind of X-related crud that I don't want on my server :-(

Is there a suggested configuration for installing only the server component without the GUI libraries on a server?

Or maybe there is another complementary distribution server application that would read the Calibre libraries and emulate the Calibre server so that MoonReader can download books of my Linux box at any time?
