All in all, this doesn't really solve the problem of multi-PC access any more than storing the actual library did.
And I would REALLY hate storing a git checkout of the source code in calibre. 
(I think it would also store the cache?  )
This method does handle the question of how to sync the config and keep all PCs up to date with the minimum effort, though. |
It's an alternative to putting calibre and libraries on a flash stick, without the hazard of losing or forgetting the flash stick.
My neighbour works FIFO, she puts 'everything possible' in her cloud account. She has a laptop in her work locker and another one at home in a fire proof safe. So there's practically no chance of concurrent updates, other than via foul play.
Just occurred to me, I was doing much the same thing 25 years ago when I was building hot desk call centres and trading rooms - nothing much changes.
