Preferably, yes.

It set up out-of-the-box that way when I installed in Linux Mint. My users are used to that. Here is some more detail why.

My subdomains at Pagekite go something like this:

lib1-name.pagekite.me
lib2-name.pagekite.me
etc for a current total of 6 libs.

That was necessary because all libraries rolled into one was simply to slow for searching due to size. So in Calibre I broke it down to 6 individual libraries. So, 6 Calibre Server daemons running on 6 ports, so lib1-6 at pagekite.

Now, COPS allows me to use a single port that points to the still separate 6 Calibre libraries that users can switch between. If that were the end of it, I would not ask for more, but If this does not work out for some reason and I have to go back to the 6 urls for users to use like before, I don't want to have to create 6 COPS instances...if that is even possible.

And, I do need to provide individual logins for 40+ users. Currently that is in the Pagekite config file, and going directly to the 'cops' folder bypasses that!

So, yes, I would like to keep the Pagekite login structure unless I can do the same thing in COPS or Apache?

[edit] On second thought, If I could manage the login requirements in COPS or Apache or other locally, then I could eliminate Pagekite and get a single domain registered for probably little $$. So that is a good alternative if available and secure.
