Three things:
1. Calibre is a single user system. Better to somehow have a copy (rsync when Calibre isn't running?) on each computer, otherwise eventually it will go bad.
2. Calibre is only meant to connect to local storage, as is the case for many programs. Networking is rarely atomic. Local can include a mounted USB Mass Storage Mode, sata, scsi, ide or whatever device, but not a LAN connected device.
3. Why run Calibre inside Docker on Linux anyway?

I rsync a copy when Calibre isn't running.
