Calibre on a NAS Server

mightydimo · 08-27-2019, 02:26 AM

Hi all, is there a way to run Calibre server from my NAS. In this case it is a QNAP 4 bay raid 5 setup that i use for a variety of things and it is always on. I just dont want to setup another computer purely for Calibre stuff. If this question has already been asked before, pls point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Read the manual ==>> Calibre library on a networked drive/NAS/FileShare site?

I think he wants to RUN calibre-server.exe on the NAS

Your caution is still very valid during the UPDATING of a NAS Library.
That has to be stopped during the Copy to NAS (library folder).

OP It is very easy to trip up in a setup like this and damage the integrity of the data(base). Calibre was designed for a SINGLE desktop (access). Server is evolving, you can already make some changes via the WEB Browser UI (I have not explored this aspect)
