Launching server with VPN library?

luciaisacat · 09-25-2019, 09:52 AM

Hi Everbody! Not sure if this has been already addressed somewhere else (sorry if it has!).

I have a very large calibre library on a storage-VPS machine with very low RAM and the calibre server is now almost always shutting down very soon for lack of memory. Instead of moving everything on a different machine with higher memory and the same large size HD, I was wondering if it could be possible to launch the server command line from a different machine, still in the public domain and connected to the library through an open VPN?

E.g calibre-server --log /home/log.txt --daemonize [path to a different machine library folder]

Possible? And in case it is, would there be any specs required by calibre in the the path definition?

Many thanks to all!

Well you can make the library folders available via NFS or sshfs or something similar. But note that network filesystems are extremely flaky, so things may or may not work.
