Automated workflow in Calibre?

pina · 01-11-2021, 07:39 AM

I started using Calibre a few days ago. I installed the client on my Mac and the content server on my NAS (using bibucstriim). Both are working fine. But when I think of a server, I just think about automations.

I know the client can automatically import books from the folder and add them to the library. But I would like to have that step automated from f.e. the server. That's also the main purpose of a server just like f.e. plex server.

So instead of keep my laptop and Callibre on all the time, it would make sense that the server automatically detects changes in a hotfolder and import them. into the library. I think it doesn't make sense that a client app is doing the heavylifting and processing of a server-task.

Are there any possibilites for that?

The calibredb command line tool can connect to the calibre server and perform arbitrary operations. https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gen...calibredb.html
