Recreating my Library on my server takes weeks now

There is my huge library on my server connected via NFS.

OK, I know, don't use a network storage for your calibre library.

It killed the database once or twice a year, recreating with calibre on my macbook took 2-3 days - that's OK and adding new books worked flawless afterwards.

Now I'm at 4% after 3 days with calibre 2.31.0. (3rd run) - this will take months from now on.

Is there any way to recreate the database using calibre-server on my linux server?

So there is a faster access to my ebooks to a local harddisk than gbit ethernet?

Is there a way to connect the local calibre on my macbook to calibre-server to add new books?

Is there a way, like a watch folder, to add books on a headless calibre-server on my linux server?

My current situation is - there is no calibre-server running on my server.
There is my eBooks-folder on my server served by NFS to my macbook.
Calibre on my macbook is the only way to manage and add the ebooks.
Bicbucstriim http://projekte.textmulch.de/bicbucstriim/ as I understand it "reads" the database, is the access point for my iPhone, Android, S60, symbian, maemo, nook, kindle, readr and is working really well to transfer my ebooks.
