This is probably not going to help you, but how about taking a different approach?

I'm running a Synology NAS and Calibre on multiple windows devices and I just have the library file sitting on the server as a file share, and use a network share to map that to the Calibre clients. Now, when I want access to this library when I travel I just have a VPN set up to connect in to my network and use COPS (which runs well on Synology and needs no magic to install) to access the library. I can then download whatever I need remotely.

With COPS you can also use that on devices that don't like Calibre, like Android, Apple, and Linux. Its rock solid and even has a built in reader if that's what you need. A really good piece of software.

I'd really like to use Linux like my Windows clients and yet I haven't found anyone who can reliably explain how to permanently mount a network drive in Linux in the same way you can in Windows, such that Calibre can actually recognise it, I guess this is why you need Calibre server...
