Application setup:

Create the library at /books
For Readarr integration: Enable Content Server at Preferences -> Sharing over the net, enable “Require username and password to access the Content server”
Optional: Install plugins at Preferences -> Get plugins

Book database (STORAGE_CALIBRE_LIBRARY) is not recommended to mounted via SMB due to locking issue (“DB appears locked”). A possible fix: MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - “Database is locked” - can’t use network folders
