I manage my ebooks locally and then upload them to my calibre-web container via the webui. It's there an easier way to do this? I no longer use a shared backend storage for fear of corruption/loss so i was looking for an easier way (export plug-in?). Any one have any ideas?

When I was using calibre-web, I regularly synced the calibre library with rsync to the calibre-web server (a Raspberry Pi). Calibre-web then reconnected to the database overnight so that the changes were visible (can also be done manually, of course). So I only had to call the sync script when needed.

With vanilla calibre-web, no.

There is a new project called automated calibre web or something similar that addresses this and other quality-of-life issues.

This one? https://github.com/crocodilestick/Calibre-Web-Automated It has an ingest folder you can drop all your books into and it'll ingest and process them over time, if that's of interest
