Hallo

I would like to access my calibre library via browser / IP from another computer. Not the content server but with the "full featured gui".
Within the local network would do - via internet would be perfect.

Edit:
Calibre is running on a MacMini (end 2012, core i5), I'm not really using that computer - only for server tasks. Calibre was running for some years now on a Synology-NAS docker: which was fine, but the maintenance of the gui was a bit unpleased. Especially that it was not possible to use special letters like äÄöÖé etc. - so I decided to use my old MacMini. As this machine hosts a Serversoftware for my music it is running anyway.

I connect to the MacMini from another macOS machine with "Bildschirmfreigabe" (a build in MacOS program). That actually works fine - but it would be nice to have a browser / IP connection to the GUI. I need to have a monitor plugged in to the Mac mini (or the program "Bildschirmfreigabe" gets "confused").

Is it possible to connect to the calibre-GUI via LAN / IP? and if so - how (or where to find a "how to"?)

Thanks for your help!
