Calibre on multiple computers while running server on a Synology NAS

I have a couple of questions about running Calibre in a few places and how to keep everything working together nice & neatly.

Currently, I have:
  • Calibre library in Dropbox (for syncing b/t computers)
  • Synology NAS (acutally an AMD-based XPEnology)
  • Home desktop (Win 10)
  • Home server (ESXi hypervisor w/ VMs)
  • Personal laptop (Win 10)
  • Work laptop (Win 10 Pro)

What I would like to accomplish:
  1. Primary Calibre library saved on the NAS
  2. Content server running 24/7 on the NAS
  3. The ability to manage my Calibre library from any of my computers
  4. ^ If possible, managing from any location instead of just at home

My homelab (server & NAS) have only been implemented in the last couple of weeks, and I haven't looked at or done anything with Calibre differently in 5 years. I know there are server-based features out there, I just don't know what they actually are.

The last time I had a Calibre "server" I was self-hosting in my \Dropbox\Public folder and using the CalibreOPDS python scripts. Looking to step my game up a little while still managing Calibre from a few different systems.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is not in the proper sub-forum!
