I'm running a (mostly) headless calibre content server and I'd really like to use Virtual Libraries to let my kids access a subset of the books. I see how I can restrict the users to a VL, but I'm not sure how I can create the VL in the first place from the command line. Can I just create a saved search using calibredb and then reference that saved search as a VL for my restriction?

Is this possible or do I need to use the GUI to initially create a VL? Thanks
