    Calibre is used as a server all the time, see calibre-web.

    calibre-web is technically not Calibre and is written and maintained by different people, although it does use the Calibre database (and I believe it must be created with desktop Calibre initially). But it’s a good option and I highly recommend it.

    you just load your books from Calibre (or right through USB if you’re hardcore for some reason) and you’re basically off to the races.

    There’s also an OPDS server option with calibre-web that you can use to load books from if you’re using koreader.

    You can also use the Kobo server replacement option with calibre-web although I personally couldn’t get it to work at the time I tried it. But this will give you a sync option that works like the official Kobo server which is quite nice.







  • One issue I could see is using it not as a second opinion, but the only opinion. That doesn’t mean this shouldn’t be pursued, but the incentives toward laziness and cost-cutting are obvious.

    EDIT: One another potential issue is the AI detection being more accurate with certain groups (i.e. White Europeans), which could result in underdiagnosis in minority groups if the training data set doesn’t include sufficient data for those groups. I’m not sure if that’s likely with breast cancer detection, however.






  • I’m not arguing in the slightest that FLAC shows an audible difference in most cases for most tracks. However, it just makes sense as an archival format given it’s lossless which means you can transcode to any other format without generational loss.

    This means if there is a massive breakthrough in lossy compression in the future, I can use it for mobile purposes. If you store as lossy, you’re stuck with whatever losses have been incurred, forever.






  • There’s likely a firewall on the system that hosts the docker services, and docker’s default bridge rules bypass it when publishing a port. And since the docker rules are prioritised, it can be quite difficult to override them in a reliable way. I personally wish that the default rules would just open a rule to the host, but there might be some complexity that I’m missing that makes that challenging.

    I personally use host networking to avoid the whole mess, but be aware you’ll have to change the internal ports for a bunch of services most likely, and that’s not always well-documented. And using the container name as the host name won’t work when referencing other containers, you’ll have to use e.g. localhost:<port number> even inside the network.

    You can do the bind to localhost thing that others have mentioned, as long as the reverse proxy itself is inside the docker network (likely there are workarounds if not).
