If you just want to quickly add a book, you might want to simply use the CLI backend.

`calibredb add /path/to/ebook`

Alternatively, use a staging library that exists only on the current computer, setup metadata/custom column info as needed, then save to disk, move that to the remote server, and use

`calibredb add --one-book-per-directory /path/to/ebook/folder`

It will derive the metadata from the saved OPF. Faster than using calibredb to set metadata in between searching for the ebook ids.
