Is it possible to self-host this and run on a headless server?

[YamiYukiSenpai]

I have couple of headless servers:

• Ryzen 7 5700G & RTX 3060 Ti
• Ryzen 5 3400G with Quadro T400

Is it possible to run this in a headless environment and access this from a browser? I see that you have a cloud option, but I wanna run this on my own server.

Hey @YamiYukiSenpai! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have. Let's solve this together! Dosu

Currently, running Upscayl in a headless environment is not possible due to its reliance on Electron-specific functions that require a graphical user interface. These functions include interactions with the mainWindow object, such as getMainWindow(), mainWindow.webContents.send(...), and mainWindow.setProgressBar(...), which are not compatible with a headless setup ^[1].

There was a similar closed issue discussing the possibility of a web UI for Upscayl. The conclusion was that the current use of Electron-specific functions to leverage the GPU makes it impossible to add a web UI without a significant rewrite ^[2].

To continue talking to Dosu, mention @dosu.
