I suppose it depends on how you are defining unrelated, I put the thread in related tools because it does depend on the Calibre database. I don't think it's read only though, you can upload content through the web interface. I'm using it partly because it does have a nicer/more complete web UI then the one built in to Calibre. It might be that I made an incorrect assumption about the read-only state, I haven't yet re-installed a calibre instance to see if the things I uploaded through the web UI will be visible in Calibre as well.

That being said, if you're running server software anyway, I'd just go with the builtin server in calibre. You'll need calibre installed anyway in order to create the database, unless you're syncing your desktop library to a remote cloud instance.

Yup, that was the part I was trying to figure out, if I can have Calibre and Calibre-web working against the same dataset easily. I already had a Calibre db, I moved my library from a Windows install. Now it became a question of how to most effectively maintain that. Calibre-web does some, but seemingly not quite all of the things I used in Calibre, so that's the problem I'm trying to solve.
Thanks!
