Introduction

This article guides you through the process of setting up the Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) and Calibre-Web to allow collections and books to be synchronised to the Kobo e-reader. Other features like access to Kobo store, Overdrive, Google Drive and Dropbox will not be affected.

Important

What is articulate in the rest of this article is to enable public secured Internet accessible synchronisation endpoint for Kobo e-reader.
Calibre-Web presents book download endpoint as HTTP (non-HTTPS) with a port number. Other than the implicit understanding that HTTP and HTTP runs on port 80/tcp and 443/tcp respectively, it is not possible to have both HTTP and HTTPS running on the same port number (e.g., 20080/tcp).
Only EPUB formatted books can be synchronised. That is, other formats like PDF won't be synchronised due to restrictions on Kobo e-reader.

Changes to my Mac

Turn off "press and hold" for foreign letters, allowing you to then press and hold for repeat letters. Open Terminal and run:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

Then you need to close/reopen any app before it takes effect.

Make the dock appear faster when using auto hide:

>>> docker exec -it CONTAINERID /bin/sh
/app # telnet
/bin/sh: telnet: not found

/app # apk update

DevOps started out as "Agile Systems Administration". In 2008, at the Agile Conference in Toronto, Andrew Shafer posted an offer to moderate an ad hoc "Birds of a Feather" meeting to discuss the topic of "Agile Infrastructure". Only one person showed up to discuss the topic: Patrick Debois. Their discussions and sharing of ideas with others advanced the concept of "agile systems administration". Debois and Shafer formed an Agile Systems Administrator group on Google, with limited success. Patrick Debois did a presentation called "Infrastructure and Operations" addressing

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
