One of the computers in my homelab has a dvd drive, is there a piece of (linux) software that allows me to rip dvd’s easily with a webui?
Basically i want to get a nice .mkv out of the dvd, and be able to do it from anywhere on the local network.
You must log in or # to comment.
Handbrake has a CLI version: https://handbrake.fr/downloads2.php
https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine would be an option if you don’t need a web UI
The team are helpful too, and helped me with a question when I set it up 🙂
MakeMKV Works on Linux. I got it working with Xubuntu in proxmox.
Handbrake or VLC. I’d honestly just learn the CLI to make this work better for your benefit though. Much simpler to do remotely if you want changes.
Could you forward your X display in an SSH session so you don’t need a webui? I second the vote for handbrake, it’s a great program!
How do you insert/eject the discs from a webui?
If it’s anything like my server, it’s in the same room, but only connected to the power and network. You can open and close the drive, but it doesn’t have a keyboard, mouse, or monitor 👍
Yup! And you can just do
ejectin the terminal to open the disk tray
Back in the day I remember people building cd/dvd changers with Lego to rip and burn at scale.
