I recommend adding a server service.
The attached worked for me well in the past.
One should notice that:
* calibre must have writing permissions to both the db and json files.
* for each calibre library another instance of the server needed to be run (with different port and pid).
* better have callibre user and group and not run it as root.

I don't feel like adding a service file to calibre, plus another group/user. Also the service file is very specific per user. I guess it's nicer to add this to the wiki, so users can adapt the .service file.
