COPS VS workspaces-core-images

This add-on is based on Sebastian Lucas' COPS, updated to work with PHP8.

I started with calibre-web with COPS. It worked fine. Now I use Kavita.

Sounds also like a nice approach too. For me personally an overkill as I only want to copy and read the book I am currently studying. My (calibre) library is synced between my servers and accessible via cops if I really need to search/download a book on the go.

cops - Cops(http://blog.slucas.fr/en/oss/calibre-opds-php-server) by Sébastien Lucas, stands for Calibre OPDS (and HTML) Php Server.

If you're technically literate and don't mind some work, consider setting up COPS on a Raspberry Pi. You'll have a full OPDS server that you can connect to a local wifi network or (with some more work) expose to the full internet. I use this setup as a backup for my Calibre libraries and usually browse them with Yomu or TiReader on an iPad.

I do something similar except I use COPS to host the mobi files and download it via the Kindles web browser. I did switch the theme to a basic black and white theme.

The copy script resides within the Core images and can be adjusted if necessary. It is visible in the workspaces-core-images Github Repo

Another option could be to let the servers just boot into webbrowser and then do somethign VDI (Vitual Desktop infrastructure), for example KASAM: https://www.kasmweb.com/ This would also address/ solve/ simplify many of the mentioned issues above.

https://www.kasmweb.com/ is a popular new solution in this space. I've played around with https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-webtop which is based on their kasmvnc and even in the non lossless mode if feels quite snappy.

I read about Kasm Workspaces here on selfhosted and really wanted to try it out on my Ubuntu VPS. Problem is, I use Traefik for my reverse proxy and it's not technically supported by Kasm. There are also very few hits on searches for the two platforms together, and the information that's available is not very helpful. Maybe I'm the only person really interested in this 😂 but after a lot of time spent figuring it out I decided to write my own guide in case someone else is too. This assumes you already have Traefik setup and running on port 443. The files are available at my Github project.

Check out KASM - https://www.kasmweb.com/ - you can actually play many of your Steam games from it with GPU acceleration.

You could spin up something like Kasm Workspaces, Neko or Docker Webtop.

- The Workspaces Images and Workpaces Core images, are both open source projects that include the image dockerfiles and associated scripts for building the end-user containers such as Chrome , Brave, Ubuntu desktop, etc. You can view the code and licenses here: https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-images/blob/develop/LICENSE.md , https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-core-images/blob/develop/LICENSE.md

Check out https://www.kasmweb.com/. You could setup a persistent profile storage on a linux distro of your choosing and have all the bookmarks saved there or even have it open chrome directly with all your shortcuts right from the website using 2fa to protect everything.
