Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

I'm actually using Audiobookshelf as my main server. I just wanted Readarr to get metadata and organize the folders. Do you have any workflow tips for that?
No, it's a hot mess. I only get 6 books a month and she is one and done so it's manageable to do it manually
The best way I found to do this was using audiobookshelfs upload feature and grabbing the meta data before upload. This sorts the folders for you
It's sort of weird to upload because it's already on the hard drive where I want it to go.. Just has to get squeezed back and forth through the pipes of my LAN a few times to go through this process.
Yeah it's not perfect. I normally just download and upload from my phone so works for me but it's not a very automated or neat solution but it does work and uploads don't take to long
But how do you get the audiobooks if you don't use Readarr?
Readarr is just a tool that facilitates downloading via bittorrent or usenet. You can just use those the old fashioned way without it.
Edit: The program Lazy Librarian that some people are mentioning also assists with the searching and downloading, if you prefer not to do it by hand.
You can purchase audiobooks too, especially from authors who make them available on DRM-free platforms.
And there's always https://librivox.org/
