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.
MakeMKV Works on Linux. I got it working with Xubuntu in proxmox.
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
eject
in the terminal to open the disk trayBut 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.Back in the day I remember people building cd/dvd changers with Lego to rip and burn at scale.

Great answer! 😃
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 🙂
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!
Handbrake has a CLI version: https://handbrake.fr/downloads2.php
docker handbrake has a web-ui, thanks to virtual frame buffer and vnc. It works just like the desktop version, because that’s what it is, but in a browser.
