  • I set up calibre-web on my home server but didn’t use it for very long. I’ve got my books separated into fiction, nonfiction and technical libraries and calibre-web could only handle one library database. I would have had to run multiple instances to get the different libraries served. I also still had a need to use calibre on my desktop so it was necessary to reimport the database from my desktop into calibre-web to keep things in sync. If you’re going to manage everything in the web interface it might work for you. It was just kind of unnecessary for my needs.



  • Arch here as well. For me it’s rolling release that’s the selling point. I’ve maintained the same arch install on my desktop for five years with minimal maintenance required. The only reason it’s not ten years is I built a new PC and didn’t carry forward my old root drive. Arch is much less work than is advertised once it’s up and running. No dist upgrades or reinstalls when a new release comes out. Just keep it updated and pay attention to the website in case something requires manual intervention to update.
