Concurrent access to Calibre Library

Hello,

maybe this has been answered in the past, but I could not find an older thread regarding this topic.

My Calibre library (folder) resides on a NAS, where I can access it form any PC and laptop in my home network.

I have a headless Linux server running on which Calibre is running as content server in "daemonized" mode, accessing the library on the NAS, too.

I read my books on several tablets using the "CC Companion" to access the Calibre content via the linux server.

From time to time I start Calibre on one of my laptops or PC's to import a book, fine tune some metadata or do some maintenance. I use the Calibre library on the NAS sort of concurrent then. Is this an intended way to do with Calibre?

Up till now it works fine. Only from time to time a newly imported book does not show up, in this case I just restart the Calibre "daemon" on the linux machine, which does fix this.

Can anybody comment if I am doing it in the right way?

Thanks in advance.....

Kai
