Linux (Docker) how open a new window with internet browser?

polarwind · 01-13-2022, 06:26 AM

I am wondering about cut and past between browsers (From my windows PC to Calibre server on Docker). The thing is that when I copy a text in Windows, it is not in the cut and past board from Calibre. In Calibre I can cut and past there, but not in-between devices. Sometimes I find a good book description that I want to add manually, but this isn't working. Only workaround for now is to use Calibre-Web, add the text there, then restart Calibre to pick up the changes.

I tried to execute the browser in Calibre, but am getting the error "Calibre failed to execute child process x-www-browser no such file or directory".

Any suggestions?

copy and paste what? use the calibre content server, then you can connect to the calibre server running in docker using a browser on your windows pc and copy/paste will work fine.
