I have Proxmox VE OS installed on two connected desktops in my apartment, I also have the ability to VPN into apartment router remotely and operate as if I where physically there.
The desktop app I want to run is AlfaBooks, they’re like a better version of Calibre, only they cost like $40.00 for one time fee, which I am not opposed to. It also comes with their web server app, which acts like a Calibre Content Server.
However in the future, I may find othet desktop apps that I’d like to run on Proxmox without a VM in the middle.
Any ideas?
Well, there’s WINE, but it’s relatively hit or miss, whether specific applications will work in it.
Containers can’t work conceptually, because they use the kernel of your host system and a Windows application expects a Windows kernel (or at least an interface like WINE, which answers its calls).
Theoretically, there’s also the option of a VM with ReactOS, but my impressions has been that it works less often than WINE.
