Calibre runs on Mac, Linux and Windows. Smallest HW an ARM based Raspberry Pi with Liinux.
It uses a local disk, only. At a pinch you can use a USB drive or SD card that's formatted with the native filesystem of the OS Calibre is using.
You can only use an exported copy of the files (which is NOT a Calibre Library) without the Calibre program.
You can't run Calibre without the native local Calibre files. Even a network share will give grief. Calibre does have a content server to export the content of the local files on a network.
You can only use a Tablet or an SD card for a tablet (or phone or ereader) as a destination for Calibre to send copies to.
My Raspberry Pi4B does have Calibre and only has an SD card for storage, but that card can't be sensibly used in anything else, except maybe a compatible replacement RPi. It does have a portable QHD screen and power adaptors to run without mains (2 x 2A USB power banks and/or a 12V 8AH Gel pack / SLA with 2x 5V USB converters and a nice Cherry 10KLish keyboard.
