I’ve read ‘The Home Lab Handbook: Building and Managing Your Own IT Lab from Scratch’ which I would recommend to anyone just starting out in selfhosting and homelabing. Relative to that, I found a ‘course’ online (https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/#table-of-contents) that would also be useful for new arrivals.

Anyone reading any good HomeLab & Selfhosting books lately?

    I don’t use calibre web yet. I only use calibre’s inbuilt web service thing. Does theme park work with that too?

    Also, I have calibre running on windows and I don’t run docker on that (for reasons). So can I use calibre web on a separate system on the network and have it connect to the calibre db somehow over the wire?

      TBH, I am not sure. I think you’d have to consult with both ThemePark and Calibre docs.

      Strike two for me. I’m sorry…I just don’t know because I’ve never tried to do that.

        I set it up last night. Network share would be too easy to corrupt apparently, so I hustled copied over the files and started fresh. Once in a while, I’ll move files back to my “original” install.
