Portability, isolation, the ability to run pretty much anything inside. They do consume more resources, but if they’re that much slower then there’s probably something wrong in your setup.

I’ve tried it a few times, never stuck. I guess it’s just convenience, it is a well integrated piece of software, especially if you use both LXC and VMs. Personally I keep using virt-manager and Cockpit.

I’m not sure if any app syncs progress with eReaders, but I haven’t looked into it. Maybe KOreader can? Other than that Audiobookshelf works well with ebooks. I haven’t tested it with graphic novels, but it does handle regular ebooks (PDF and EPUB) just fine.

Translations can get you results ranging from hilarous to horrible. Especially crowdsourced.

Translation got me. It’s Dashboard in English interface.

Go to Cockpit > Libraries > Manage library, there’s an option to automatically refresh metadata from the Internet every 30-90 days.

Thanks. Plain Wireguard is an option I’m considering, but it’s also considerably more hassle to configure and maintain, especially as I connect more family members to my network. Headscale also has an extra layer of security in the form of ACLs, which I plan to use on top of basic firewall configuration. I do connect my personal machines with Wireguard, but I use one family member as a Tailscale/Headscale test subject.

As for SELinux, I’ve gave up on it already. It caused me so much headache over the years I disable it with a kernel parameter by default on all machines.
