If you make your Calibre library visible on the public Internet then you need to make sure your books are not easily accessible by unauthorised users. Security will not be an issue if you have your library on your home system, and set up so that it can only be accessed from devices that are part of your home network. Examples of such services that are currently known to fall into this category are iCloud Drive SugarSync and OneDrive (was SkyDrive) they cannot act as HTML web pages) will unfortunately not work. NOTE: Cloud services that only allow downloading of files via a browser (i.e. Dropbox and Google Drive which are described later in this document are examples of such services, although it is likely that others are also suitable. If the Cloude service can expose the files that are stored on it just like a web server would then they can also host a Calibre2opds catalog. This is the generic term used to describe facilities where you can have files that are located on your own PC or Mac replicated to servers on the Internet so that they can be accessed from anywhere. One device that has proved a good match with Calibre2opds is the AirStash as it provides a web server tha can be accessed easily from any WiFi enabled device such as an iPhone, iPad, Android tablet/phone and allows the Calibre2opds catalog to be used from either a browser (HTML catalog) or a suitable OPDS aware reading app (OPDS catalog). This could be an ISP provided web space - but if this is the case please read the caution about controlling access.Īnother (less obvious) solution that falls into this category is to use a WiFi enabled storage device that also supports a web server for accessing the files it is storing (just as if they were hosted on a private or ISP provided web server). This can be your own private server, or one run by someone else on which you have space provided for you own web content. This will tend to break down into 2 distinct families of servers:

The method allows all catalog files and book files to be accessed as a path relative to that of the top level catalog file.

The method chosen provides a network path to the top level file in the generated Calibre2Opds catalog.

NOTE: If you are using calibre2opds in Nook mode then you do not need to publish your catalogs as they will have been copied (together with their associated eBooks) to the Nook and held there as local files

To be able to use your generated Calibre2Opds catalogs you need to make them visible on the network.
