But when I try to make the Calibre library on an external disk, I can't open Calibre after that without the external disk plugged in - which is clearly not what I want.

Is there a tutorial somewhere which explains how to have a main Calibre library on an external disk while still having some books on the computer itself ?
You need to start calibre using the --with-library option referencing a small library on the internal drive… e.g. an Intake or a QuickRef library, see ==>> calibre

The you can switch to the big library on the eternal drive once calibre starts… after turning it on of course.
