  • You wanna know a fun way to do this?

    GitHub (and I think Gitlab too) supports you running their runner within your own infra. It’s literally a binary that needs permissions and space. Then, you can tell your git repo to use that runner to run docker compose and as part of the “build” process, deploy you container to the same or an in-network machine.

    This is not secure, it’s probably going to involve a lot of hard coding of local IPs or server names etc. But you can make it work.

    I use this way to get a Win11 PC to run some regular containers on itself. Works like a charm.















  • Glad to help. Some of the non-ISBN content I’ve read and tracked on StoryGraph is the mega-web-novel Worm and various interstitial PDF mini-stories that an author posted on their website as part of a continuing Sci-Fi series. All of this content on the service is user-input. All you would have to do is create the feature. When I discovered it, I realized how awesome it is to be able to track such content.

    Remember - great artists steal. So go check out the community features on Literal and the tracking features and user-entry features on StoryGraph.


  • I’m loving StoryGraph. I value its vast array of books, audiobooks, internet based “non-book books” (things that don’t have an ISBN). Also, it’s book import isn’t perfect but very nice. Lastly, I love their metrics. They’ve done an awesome job of it and it’s a joy to see them.

    I enjoy Literal.Club for its large number of clubs and high interactivity. There are network effects that Literal has which StoryGraph just hasn’t achieved yet.

    StoryGraph has tried to implement Community and Book Clubs but it doesn’t work the same way - Literal’s Clubs are for discussing books in general, while StoryGraph’s book clubs are focused on reading one book at a time, with deadlines, discussion sections etc.

    A combination of the two which I can pay for would be mind blowing! 😊
