![]() I can then download whatever I need remotely. Now, when I want access to this library when I travel I just have a VPN set up to connect in to my network and use COPS (which runs well on Synology and needs no magic to install) to access the library. I'm running a Synology NAS and Calibre on multiple windows devices and I just have the library file sitting on the server as a file share, and use a network share to map that to the Calibre clients. #2 james_ 03-29-2021, 12:23 PMThis is probably not going to help you, but how about taking a different approach? My mom's keen to just keep two separate installs of Calibre going and have a local Calibre database on each of the two laptop C drives but I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way to manage this using Calibre Server, if I could work around the fact that there won't always be network connectivity on the client devices. ![]() and then selectively locally cache part of the library, to allow for offline reading when there is no network connectivity to the Calibre Server? This would render the Calibre web interface useless.ġ) Is there any way to connect the regular Calibre client application to Calibre Server (instead of using the web interface).Ģ). My mom occasionally travels with one or other of the laptops and will want to read eBooks from her library in places where she won't necessarily have internet service. I've followed these instructions but haven't started importing the library yet as I have some fundamental questions and am not sure if this will actually work for her. Two benefits that stand out are that metadata manually fixed on one laptop would instantly be reflected on the second laptop - the other benefit is that the NAS has a RAID 5 array, so nothing would be lost if a single drive failed (unlike the laptops). ![]() I'd like to centralize her eBook storage on the NAS and streamline her experience using Calibre Server, if possible. #1 Mr Ethernet 01-21-2021, 11:28 AMMy mom uses Calibre on two laptops and has a Synology DS920+ NAS on her home network. ![]()
