My strategy is I take 1 package of the black Buldak ramen and cook it with 2 packages of Maruchan ramen and then I use 1 of the Maruchan packets with the Buldak seasoning packets to season the whole thing, and if I want it to be a bit more substantial I’ll drop an egg in there while it’s boiling until the yolk is the right amount of runny

Hell yeah! Crackstyle, a true classic

Ive got a reverse proxy config that was available in the Audiobookshelf github documentation, I was mainly struggling to understand how to get all of the parts working together. Thanks for the help

Is 172.17.0.1 like dockers loopback for its own services?

I had considered the VPN route, but i think its enough of a technical hurdle for other people that it would stop my parents and friends from being able/willing to get onto the audiobookshelf server

I had considered not using nginx for precisely those reasons, but like the plex server i want to make it available to my family and friends and so the nginx reverse proxy build seemed to be the most widely applicable and still secure option so I only need to tell them to download audiobookshelf and point it at the correct domain name.

Thank you so much this is very helpful, I’ll definitely be taking a run at it with all of this advice in mind this week. When you mention running the whole thing as a single stack does that mean getting all of it running inside a single docker container such that it only takes the 1 docker run command? Is it a requirement to get them able to talk or just a more elegant way to have the entirety of the server running in a singular container instead of spread across several?

I know, and that’s on my to-do list, but I wanted to get this up and running at least once before upgrading and potentially having to start from square 1.

This is actually a plot point in Rick Riordans work. If you’re not familiar he writes YA novels about kids who are secretly demigod fighting monsters in a modern day setting and the specially mention that one of the telltale signs of demigods is ADHD for almost exactly the reasons you describe

Man, I’ve had the wrong Boole in my head this whole time? Guess I have a 0 somewhere that I should have a 1

The math fun fact I remember best from college is that Charles Boole invented Boolean algebra for his doctoral thesis and his goal was to create a branch of mathematics that was useless. For those not familiar with boolean algebra it works by using logic gates with 1s and 0s to determine a final 1 or 0 state and is subsequently the basis for all modern digital computing
