Calibra-web

So I surveyed docker images in my personal use:

Postgres (Docker provided - https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres): Debian (with alternates for alpine or other debian versions)

Jellyfin (Developer provided - https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/master/Dockerfile): They use an alpine build step but the final distributed image is debian

Calibre-Web (Linuxserver provided - https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web/blob/maste...): Ubuntu

Graylog (Developer provided - https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog-docker/blob/4.2/docker/o...): Debian

Vaultwarden (Developer provided - https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/blob/main/docker/...): Debian (with alpine alternate available)

For professional use, our company mandates all images used are built off a common base image, which is Ubuntu based (my previous employer was similar, but used a Red Hat based image).

On the (e)book side, I'm running calibre (which runs the desktop app accessible by guacamole, for management, only accessible on my local network) in combination with an instance of calibre-web, in order to access the files remotely.

Jellyfins book support is kinda eh right now, it'll probably take another major version or two. I'm using calibre-web until JF feels ready. Clients shouldn't be a problem though, any web browser will do.

Also, here's an issue that has been opened: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web/issues/119

I personally use neko-rooms with my friends for this purpose. Just let's all share a browser in a browser with plenty of options (Firefox, Chromium, Brave, etc.). You can also just use standard neko if you don't need multiple rooms.

Hey, you do you. It just sounds like an expensive way to avoid owning the hardware you want to debug to me.

Also, not to burst your bubble, but there are a few projects out there that do more-or-less what you're describing:

- https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay/#together

- https://github.com/m1k1o/neko

If you're having fun, then continue by all means. I've just been nerd sniped by your cloud costs and I'm having flashbacks to seeing six-figure monthly AWS bills at startups that refused to buy their own GPU compute.

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

I ran into neko https://github.com/m1k1o/neko recently which has similar. It's more application centric than desktop centric, but both offer multi-player experiences & I just think that is the absolute coolest.
