Calibre
Calibre is a mature but still kinda clunky program for managing digital texts. I used it to organise PDFs of essay and things, and sync that to my NAS so I can read them from a tablet computer.
I've since stopped using it and started working on my own solution.
Extending
Server
Ubooquity
Was really easy to install via a QPKG, only hitches were:
- Admin page was at a different port/address than they said
[URL]:2203/admin
rather than[URL]:2202/admin
- Couldn't find the address of the OPDS feed without some digging. It's:
[URL]:2202/books-opds
Clients
Storage
Annoyingly, Calibre doesn't officially support storing it's database on a network drive.
I'm using a NAS and accessing it using SMB. The post linked below suggests adding nobrl
to the mount options in fstab to stop the common 'database is locked' errors.
Previously I kept the library on my computer and synced it with the NAS with Syncthing, so that's another option.
