So there's no reliable way to host my ebook library on a NAS?

Calibre Content Server isn't an option for me because it's not available for my NAS. Also, some of the concerns in that FAQ don't apply to me because I'm the only person who accesses the library, so there's no question of two instances of Calibre accessing the library simultaneously.

I really don't want to keep my library on my local computer because (1) that's the purpose of a home server, and (2) because it's getting quite large and will only get larger over time.

I already have COPS installed on my NAS but that only allows viewing and downloading, not adding to the library.

Are there no other options?
