Hey all,

I am going to be using Calibre in Docker. I have books in a separate directory.

The two issues I see going forward are:

Calibre (Content Server) to automatically add books from a folder location, api call, etc.
Adding books to calibre automatically

Afaik, option 2 has no work around and is not supported - which honestly, I find as a huge dilemma. However, I have other plans to work around this in the longer term (or try anyways).

For option 1, is this an issue for any devices? Since I won't be using Calibre directly with usb (due to Docker), network would be the only way, and I don't want to purchase a device that would break or not function in this manner.

Most of my library is epub if that makes a difference.
