I think VLC can also open them on Android.

Actually, 8.5GB. Movies are typically on dual layer discs.

I used K3b for that. It can copy to image and even ignore errors if necessary, though I didn’t yet have to try that. It’s 8.5GB per disc, so get some 2TB HDD for that.

Sorry, no useful reply. I just want to check on the post later. But I don’t even know to use docker… Heh, just noticed your username is Docker.

Is there something that has to be done first (like Windows generalization)?

They are newbies, for now.

I have had a Linux Mint USB (installed, not live) with me since middle school. Not the same one, of course, that was USB 2.0.
SanDisk CruzerBlade seems to work pretty well. On the other hand, a Panasonic flash drive I have is absolute shit for random access. Booting up install from it will take ages and then it will freeze up all the time.

External SSD would be best, but it’s not worth it for occasional use.

Just like 3 weeks ago I started using Tailscale. I’d highly recommend trying that.

It does some uuuuh… magic to establish direct connections on most networks. You can verify whether you’re using direct connection or relay using tailscale status on Linux.

It uses Wireguard under the hood. There’s also Tailnet lock feature (still in beta) in case you don’t trust Tailscale to not maliciously add devices to your Tailnet.

This would give you lower latency than the VPS solution. I use it with CG-NAT on both sides. I also started using it for LAN since it establishes direct connection over LAN too, and seamlessly switches between networks so I can disconnect from LAN and keep current connections going over WAN or vice versa.

But I’ve just tried now, and it won’t work even on LAN without internet access. Still better than a VPS solution in some way.

But you may also try looking into headscale which is basically a lightweight self-hosted private Tailscale control server, but I haven’t tried anything with that.

Not sure if you’ll find something that cheap, but RackNerd has some pretty cheap offers sometimes. Thing is, they don’t seem to expire, so there’s this: https://racknerdtracker.com/?sort=price

But I haven’t tried them yet.
Also keep in mind the monthly bandwidth limits.
You get what you pay for, and $10/year is basically nothing.

Oh, and you may be responsible for random people’s traffic depending on the provider. I think I’ve read in ToS of some VPS provider that you have to notify them about running a public service for this reason.

Well, here’s my little piece of ugly:

Edit: And as for Termux:
