I get up in the morning, have breakfast, go to work.
During lunch I read a book on my Android tablet. I finish the book, decide to download the next book in the series so I start Calibre Companion and tell it to connect to my Content Sever.
And if I was using the GUI as my server, unless I'd remembered to login before I left for work and left my computer logged in, it isn't running.
The whole point behind a server is that is configured to be running anytime the computer is on, without human interaction. If my computer is running, my ssh server is running, and my http server, whether I've logged in or not. If the power goes out, when it comes back on the computer boots up, and all the services restart.
That's how all of the standard services work. It's how I have calibre-server configured on Linux, and it's how I'd have it configured if I was using Windows. From wherever I am in the world, I can download books from my Calibre library.
I'd thought that was the whole reason calibre-server existed.
