# Calibre Library
It would be great if I could host a library of ebooks for myself. Laptops could push new books into it, and tablets/phones could pull titles down to read.

I'm starting with the [docker image](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre) provided by linuxserver.io.
- can kubernetes scale the storage needed by the service? Or can it alert me when it's running low?
- should I set aside the node that has the storage to use its cpu for file-system and sharing? like if that node starts running services too will it slow down providing
- should I register the QNAP as storage for the cluster??
- maybe I should subscribe to https://www.mobileread.com/ RSS
- Bookshop does ebooks now! https://bookshop.org/ebooks
testing locally with
```bash
docker run --rm \
--name=calibre \
-e PUID=502 -e PGID=20 \
-p 8080:8080 -p 8181:8181 -p 8081:8081 \
-v /Users/spencer.williams/Documents/calibre-server/config:/config \
lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre:latest
```
linuxserver's stuff is very shiny, but it's a lot to take in.
I'm trying another tack, which is to rescusitate my existing repo, `calibre-server-homebrew` (so named after I thought I should fork `stethewwolf/caliber-server` as `spilliams/calibre-server-fork`).
From docs I figure I need to run `calibre-server --manage-users` to add a user. Then maybe the `--enable-auth` option will work how I want it to.
But maybe I also need `--auth-mode=basic`.
Eventually I want to turn off `--enable-local-write`.
Another option worth looking at is `--trusted-ips=1.2.3.4,5.6.7.8`
