New Feature Request: Separate the Server (django-based) from the interface

dr.dran · 03-21-2010, 11:44 AM

Hi at All!

I'm new, but I'm very glad to use Calibre to manage my pdf collection. So I Think that will be a very very improvement to separate the two aspect of calibre, the "server" and the client interface, obviosly that was tricky, but I thik that give to all user to have a client / server installation that simplify the backups of the repository, and for exampe permit with a dyndns account to access the collection from outside.

Excuse me for my bad english...

Best Regards

I'm not sure what you want? If the Calibre GUI is closed, the server still runs. I access my books remotely via dyndns.

If you're talking about the content server option, there is a standalone version. It's a command line app, and can be invoked by typing calibre-server at the command prompt. (the exe can be found at "Program Files\Calibre2\calibre-server.exe").

Of course the calibre content server (GUI or CLI) is only for Stanza and web browsers, and is not a true client/server architecture for calibre as a whole.
