Publish as a Docker Mod

[laurentlbm]

Hi, nice project! I found it through today's selfho.st newsletter. Do you plan to release a docker mod for it so that it could easily be installed like the universal-calibre docker mod? You wrote that in 1.1.0, you would add "the ability to also use an Calibre-Web-Automator image from the DockerHub to install the service", but it wasn't clear to me if it would be as a mod, as a fork of Calibre-Web or as a standalone container.

Hey thanks for reaching out! I had planned on simply releasing a docker image on DockerHub that people could use to set up their own containers with but I honestly never considered releasing the project as a docker mod too. I'll definitely look into it! CrocodileStick

I'd like to also put my vote in for this, currently the only way to run it is to pull a custom calibre-web docker image from docker hub, and I can't find the dockerfile to look at the code, which makes me a little hesitant to be honest.

I'd feel a lot better about the project if there was a clearer way of looking at exactly what I'm pulling from docker hub.

Also voting for this. A docker mod would also expose this to a lot more people if we're able to add it to the calibre-web docker installation guide, just like how it includes a docker mod for universal-calibre

In order to help with this I think it's necessary to see the dockerfile, so this issue becomes relevant. #13

IMHO this is far better suited to a docker mod on top of the linuxserver container so people can get the best of both worlds, the linuxserver infrastructure and CI pipeline as well as the handy functionality that your python scripts provide.

I understand there are some issues with compatibility on more recent versions of calibre-web, but that can be mitigated by specifying a tagged release docker mod ensuring compatibility.

I suspect it will also dramatically reduce your admin/support overhead.

Hey @arcoast , yep that is the plan and is what's currently being worked on 👍
