Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?

Not much with the server, as I’m finally finishing my switch to Mint on my main PC, now that I’ve finished the things I was stuck with Windows for.

I’m debating whether to put Calibre Web on my PC or media server, as the PC is easier to access, but the server is always on.

I’m also trying to figure out the best way to host a family Minecraft server. I’ve currently got two running at home and one remotely, but have managed to get a decent free tier Oracle server running too.

One of the Minecraft servers is staying local, as it’s just for the immediate family for our gaming sessions, but the other is for the kid’s cousins to join in too. Typically though, they haven’t wanted to play since I got the servers running, so I can’t tell which is best for them 🙈

If you want to use Calibre Web, should be accessing the server as easy as having it running on the desktop? Also has the benefit of downloading books directly to the e-reader without needing your desktop.

Also check Calibre Web Automated! It’s a fork with lots of additional features.

  Another +1 for CWA. I tried several solutions and it was the right one for me.

  I’ll have a look at Calibre Web Automated, thanks :)
  
  I’ve set up wireless access to my Windows Calibre library but I thought the device needed to be physically connected first? I’m realising that I might be thinking of a different program though.

    Not every device supports it, but you can download books via OPDS, which Calibre supports natively. I run KOReader on my Tolino and it works great with it

    That’s how I’ve currently got my phone and Fire tablet working, KOReader to Calibre over wifi, it’s the initial setup that I couldn’t remember.
    
    I meant to check last night, but didn’t get a chance. More playing and tweaking needed tonight 😁

I use pelican (wings and panel) to manage my game servers. I use separate proxmox lxcs and so far it’s been nice and simple to partition the resources, ports, create backups, wtv

  I’ll have a look at that, thanks :)
