Hi everyone

I've been using Calibre on my Mac laptop for ages and love it. I have a large library.

I've since setup a home server, using yunohost from which I run a Mastodon instance and some other things.

So, I wanted to use Calibre-web on that, but I already have a local library on my laptop.

What's the best way to organise this? I imagine I should move my library to the calibre-web server. Can I then use Calibre on my laptop to access that library?

Then, I can use the web UI on my server when I'm away from home, and I'm told I can even browse it from my Kobo Libra Colour 2...

Does anyone run their setup at all like this? What's the best way to achieve something like this?
