Hi,
I did some search, but I'm quite confused about what is considered "best practice".
I used Calibre to store my collection of eBooks under windows.
Now I'm moving unto a (home) networked environment mainly based on my NAS and several computers, mainly running Linux, I also have a couple of kindles.
I would like to move all my database to NAS (which is backupped), but I read this is not the "advised" configuration.
- I am ok to maintain (add/remove/edit_metadata) from a single location.
- It would be OK to maintain directly from NAS, but it is headless (accessible either via web or ssh).
- My specific NAS is Intel-based (4core Atom).
- Other PC's should be able to browse book list and to download for local reading.
- I'm aware of two "plugins" for my NAS which seem Calibre-related (BicBucStrim and COPS), but it's unclear to me their actual usage.
- I would like to avoid duplication of my (large) collection.
Can someone point me in the right direction, please?
(note: I'm a programmer and i have a long Linux experience, so compilation/code-modification doesn't scare me, I just would like to avoid wasting my ample spare time reinventing the wheel)
