Hi all,
I have calibre running nicely on a dedicated Ubuntu server (via docker). The server has a 2TB hard drive. Up until now I have been able to keep my ebooks stored locally at /opt/appdata/calibre/library. However, I have started acquiring comics and my hard drive space is decreasing rapidly, along with other media.
So, I have mounted a cloud system to hold the books/comics but I'd like to keep my metadata.db file stored locally for stability reasons. The cloud directory is located at /mnt/ebooks.
The main issue is that when I create a new library in the /mnt/ebooks directory and begin to add my ebooks, it becomes unstable and corrupts each database I create.
I have found a thread which says that it is possible to keep the metadata.db file separate from the ebooks folder which is encouraging (

Please could someone advise how I can achieve this as I have been trying for a few hours and cannot seem to get it to work and cannot find any literature. It's probably something obvious but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance!
