AudioBookshelf

AudioBookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook server for managing and playing your audiobooks.

Android app is in beta, try it out on the Google Play Store

Free & open source Android/iOS app is in development

Directory Structure

Author, Series, Volume Number, Title and Publish Year can all be parsed from your folder structure.

Note: Files in the root directory /audiobooks will be ignored, all audiobooks should be in a directory

1 Folder: /Title/...
2 Folders: /Author/Title/...
3 Folders: /Author/Series/Title/...

Parsing publish year

/1984 - Hackers/...
Will save the publish year as 1984 and the title as Hackers

Parsing volume number (only for series)

/Book 3 - Hackers/...
Will save the volume number as 3 and the title as Hackers

Book Volume Vol Vol. are all supported case insensitive

These combinations will also work:
/Hackers - Vol. 3/...
/1984 - Volume 3 - Hackers/...
/1984 - Hackers Book 3/...

Parsing subtitles (optional in settings)

Title Folder: /Hackers - Heroes of the Computer Revolution/...

Will save the title as Hackers and the subtitle as Heroes of the Computer Revolution

Full example

Becomes:

Key	Value
Author	Steven Levy
Series	The Hacker Series
Publish Year	1984

Installation

Built to run in Docker for now (also on Unraid server Community Apps)

Running on your local

git clone https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf.git
cd audiobookshelf

# All paths default to root directory. Config path is the database.
# Directories will be created if they don't exist
# Paths are relative to the root directory, so "../Audiobooks" would be a valid path
npm run prod -- -p [PORT] --audiobooks [AUDIOBOOKS_PATH] --config [CONFIG_PATH] --metadata [METADATA_PATH]

# You only need to use `npm run prod` the first time, after that use `npm run start`
npm run start -- -p [PORT] --audiobooks [AUDIOBOOKS_PATH] --config [CONFIG_PATH] --metadata [METADATA_PATH]
