Finally, the reason calibre keep workers alive and idle instead of launching on demand is to workaround the slow startup time of python processes.
How do I run parts of |app| like news download and the content server on my own linux server?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First, you must install |app| onto your linux server. If your server is using a modern linux distro, you should have no problems installing |app| onto it.
.. note::
If you bought into the notion that a real server must run a decade old version of Debian, then you will have to jump through a few hoops. First, compile a newer version of glibc (>= 2.10) on your server from source. Then get the |app| linux binary tarball from the |app| google code page for your server architecture. Extract it into :file:`/opt/calibre`. Put your previously compiled glibc into :file:`/opt/calibre` as :file:`libc.so.6`. You can now run the calibre binaries from :file:`/opt/calibre`.
You can run the |app| server via the command::
/opt/calibre/calibre-server --with-library /path/to/the/library/you/want/to/share
You can download news and convert it into an ebook with the command::
/opt/calibre/ebook-convert "Title of news source.recipe" outputfile.epub
If you want to generate MOBI, use outputfile.mobi instead.
You can email downloaded news with the command::
/opt/calibre/calibre-smtp
I leave figuring out the exact command line as an exercise for the reader.
Finally, you can add downloaded news to the |app| library with::
/opt/calibre/calibredb add --with-library /path/to/library outfile.epub
Remember to read the command line documentatation section of the |app| User Manual to learn more about these, and other commands.
