100% Read-Only Access to a Calibre Library on a NAS

Checking through the documentation, I found this "Do not put your calibre library on a networked drive" in the Calibre FAQ, so I guess my setup won't work.

Is there a way to run the Calibre server from the NAS itself? It would be a perfect solution, as it is typically accessible full time, whereas my various other computers are not running 24/7. But I'm afraid any solution to this is going to involve a more complex setup, and considerable efforts (at least for me...)

"Do not put your Calibre library on a networked drive" assumes that you will be using the Calibre GUI to access the Calibre Library. If you want to "always look but never touch" a specific Calibre Library, CalibreSpy does exactly that. See:
