Looking for a self-hosted web-based slicer application (lem.nimmog.uk)

I've been using Cura as a slicer for my Anycubic Kobra since I got it a few months ago. After a few weeks I discovered octoprint which was amazing as it let me start and monitor print jobs whilst out and about.

Cura has been great for me but I'm growing tired of needing to copy my print profiles from machine to machine on different OSes to slice my STL files. Is anyone aware of any self hosted web based slicers I could use to sidestep this problem?

I would be willing to live without an octoprint plugin and manually download and upload the gcode files to my printer if needed, I just want to be able to slice from wherever I am and kick off the print from wherever I am.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have specific advice, but I am genuinely curious about what your circumstance is that you:

are yourself away from the printer so often,
have ready access to the STLs you need,
have access to a machine with slicing software,
and cannot start the print when you return

Legit question, because knowing the situation might prompt better feedback. Or if this is a case of "it would be cool to do so, just because I can..." then carry on and ignore my post lol!

I can get STLs, my slicer settings are pretty set and forget, I should be able to just upload an STL or a few, say “fill the plate” and go, without pulling out mg laptop.

It might be pretty lazy, but it isn’t crazy.
