Check out the docker version of calibre if you're into that https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/calibre-web
To clarify, calibre-web is not "the docker version of calibre", it's a separate project that provides a nice web frontend for an existing calibre database.
So if I understand correctly, I would spin up a Calibre docker (a la https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/calibre) and then spin up a separate Calibre-web docker and point it to the first one?
I believe you can, but I just copied the calibre books and database from my PC and run it from calibre-web without maintaining any link to calibre.
It's not perfect but it works well enough.
I do it like this. Manage calibre on my PC, and copy the 'Calibre Library' contents to the server through ftp.
That's correct! I can share my docker-compose if that's helpful. I'm on my phone, but I believe they just have to share a volume.
