Native install on NAS / Synology
Dear all
I would like to suggest a native build of calibre for Synology. I'm using a docker system on my NAS to run calibre - and it works but has several short comings. I actually have no knowledge how difficult it would be to develop and then maintain another build. The Synology system is somehow close to Linux. ... I would like to hear your opinion on this suggestion. Yours |

Henning, sorry for waking up an old thread I'd like to give my two cents on the subject.
Even if Synology DSM (DiskStation Manager) is based on BSD it's still a storage only solution without any native GUI besides the webadmin console thus you would have no use of a native Calibre port other than store the book library it self. In other words it's better to use it as pure storage. |

Calibre does work on Synology. Here is the information I found.
https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/co...ynology_ds214/ https://synocommunity.com/packages Can you get Calibre 5 to work on Synology? I want to be able to highlight. |

I'm kind of curious what the use case would be for calibre native to a NAS? It's not as if you normally logon to the NAS and run an application; most of the time the interface is through a web interface.
