Hi All,

I'm new to the forum, but have been running a server at home for many years now.

I'm just wondering with all the new UI-less servers coming out everywhere, if there are any plans for being able to install essentially a headless (read: No UI) Calibre version.

It would be awesome to be able to run Calibre server on a headless windows nano server (as of 2016) at home on older hardware.

I can already run web servers etc on headless servers, but many apps that run with server components don't have CLI or server only installs. If I could run a calibre server on a headless server that means I could dump the UI and get a heap of resources back. After all I'm just wanting to view a published library across a network.

Cheers!
