it will look something like "calibre_4.2.0_tmp_3Ama4t". then find your Calibre temporary directory. Make sure you know the real path within the NAS to this directory. Pick a share on your NAS with LOTS of space and make a directory called "temp" in it. Every book you view through the calibre web server gets permanently left in a temp directory on your NAS that will fill up its "/" filesystem almost immediately and crash your NAS. This issue is still present in the new 4.2.0 qpkg. You will deeply regret it if you do not fix this. Next we have to fix the temp directory problem. It will at one point ask you what device you are using- I've found that what you select here isn't highly critical, but I'm setting this up particularly for use with a kindle fire, and if you are also doing this, be sure you pick kindle as it will enable integration with your kindle email. Follow through whatever else it asks you to do as part of setup, and you should be up and running. (If you don't have one, build one before you do any of this.) You have to use the path internal to the NAS (for example, mine is in a share called /Multimedia/calibre, but the actual path it is looking for here is the internal path to that same directory: /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Multimedia/calibre It will ask you where your Calibre library is located- presumably you already have one somewhere on your NAS. First go into Config (the gear) -> App -> Calibre and set it to auto run with admin permissions There should be a new icon called Calibre. Now switch over to your HD Station console.
#Calibre book install#
Select the Calibre qpkg you downloaded- it should install with no problems. Download this package (Calibre), and in your QNAP web interface (not the HD Station) go to Control Panel -> Applications -> HybridDesk Station -> Install Manually -> Browse These are QNAPs with GUI graphics built into the hardware- an HDMI port, mouse, keyboard, sound, etc. You must have a QNAP that has HybridDesk Station on it (Also called HD Station) to use this package. This is for informational purposes only and I take no responsibility if you destroy your NAS or anything else. Here are some notes I jotted down for you.
