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 👍
But terminal access also kind of invalidates the WebUI requirement. If you have a terminal open anyways, you could as well just do eject -t && handbrake-cli ... && eject and skip all the switching to the browser and clicking on things… That’d close the tray, rip the DVD and spit it out when finished, all in one line. At least that’s what I would do.
