I perform library maintenance (~5000 books so far) in Calibre on a Mac Mini. The library is stored on an external hard drive. I want to use the Calibre Content Server to browse my library and download books on my iOS devices, but I don’t keep the Mac Mini on all the time.

I’m thinking about getting a Raspberry Pi 4 and using it as my always-on content server.

Is there any way I can continue using the Mac Mini to add books and do library maintenance while using the Pi to host the content server for the same library?

Thanks,
