Small nitpick- this project isn’t Calibe-Web, it’s a fork with extra features; the idea being that you don’t also need to be running Calibre.

That’s a great way of putting it. I think in the future it will be helpful for when folks have some personal specific need. But for anything approaching even the simplest infrastructure it just doesn’t work.

CWA is the example I always point to as to why vibe coded software doesn’t make sense for broad use. CWA updates are slow (but detailed) which inspires many folks to “fork” it with vibe coded apps, but since CWAs last update in Feb, several vibe coded “competitor” projects have risen and fallen.

Me too lol I thought What’s Up Docker was for auto updates. What does it do?

I recently switched to Dockhand from Portainer and I like it a lot more, it’s much cleaner and straightforward. It also auto-updates so you might be able to ditch whats up docker too.

Everything is in docker or a virtual machine that starts on boot. Docker containers are managed with Dockhand’s web ui. Once a month I ssh and “sudo apt upgrade” but that’s it.

I tried to use olivetin to avoid having to ssh but I ran into errors I haven’t had time to investigate yet.

This is awesome I appreciate you sharing all the details with us

Google Keep is my white whale of self hosted apps. The vibe coding aspect gives me pause as I have been burned before but it is too promising to turn down so I’ll give it a shot!

I just want to say I transitioned over to Dockhand and I’m glad I did! Thanks again for the recommendation!

What are you paying for 800gb?

Same honestly I look back at my younger self and I’m embarrassed. I think most of the debunking stuff out there just focuses on the “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” meme.

How did WTC7 burn and collapse when the only thing that hit it that day was a massive skyscraper? 🤔

You know more than me

Look into NGINX Proxy manager and DuckDNS

Portainer has worked well for me but it has so much that I don’t need or use. It looks like Dockhand has a Home Assistant integration which is nice, so I’ll check that out thanks for the rec.

Same and same! I don’t think it’s fully sunk in for a lot of Linux die-hards the game changer that is immutability/flatpaks.

Yes but I recommend waiting until someone makes a version of Linux specifically for Bigscreen because it’s not really ready yet

It’s in the post. They wanted immutability:

“Unraid has always been a so-called immutable OS— however you modify your server, if you go in there, you type the wrong command, you delete all the files from your root, you still could just reboot and you’re back to the virgin release… and that’s a big reason why we’ve chosen Fedora [uCore].”

— Tom Mortensen, creator of Unraid

Not running on a Pi yet, any spying would depend on the distro. There’s no dedicated Bigscreen distro yet but I’m pretty sure it’s being worked on.

That’s true even the premium brands won’t halfway decent CPUs in them to keep the giant bloated menus from stuttering.
