HELP REQUESTED, PLEASE!
I've just installed COPS in my Synology DS212+ and I've trying to make it work with a special configuration:
1. In my MacBook, I keep Calibre Library in my Dropbox ("Calibre" folder in the DB)
2. I use Cloud Sync in my Synology in order to sync my Dropbox to a folder inside my
home folder.
3. So, I have my Calibre library hosted at : /volume1/homes/myuser/Dropbox/Calibre/ via Cloud Sync !
4. I've written this PATH inside the /volume1/web/cops/config_local.php file so I've a line like
Code:
$config['calibre_directory'] = '/volume1/homes/myuser/Dropbox/Calibre/';
5. Nevertheless, COPS Configuration check shows the following message :
Code:
File /volume1/homes/myuser/Dropbox/Calibre/metadata.db not found, Please check
a. Is there a way to make this work in a private folder inside the home folder?
b. Must Calibre Library be inside a shared folder in order COPS to work properly?
c. If so (b), is there a way to "sync" my Calibre library folder inside the private folder with a shared folder in Synology root? I just don't want to put my Dropbox in a shared folder, as there as many users that have access to this disk.
d. Any other solutions or ideas to make this config works? ie. Synology + Dropbox + COPS?
UPDATE (solution):
So, it seems impossible to make COPS (or
BocBucStriim) work inside "homes" folder. I've found a solution though... not ideal, but it works!
1. Create a shared folder to host the Calibre Library from my Dropbox
2. Create a another user (I've called it "
Calibre") in Synology for sync purposes (not main main user that syncs the whole Dropbox content)
3. Configure Cloud Sync for user
Calibre to sync just the Calibre Library folder from my Dropbox into that shared folder created previously
4. Once syncing is done, configure COPS as user guide says... and voilą! Everything works!
So now I've my Calibre Library in my Dropbox local folder in my MacBook and that syncs automatically with my Synology COPS!
