Data Hoarding & Organization Tools #2: Libation & audiobookshelf; or, The Artificer’s Notebook – 25.051-1

As I was sorting audio, I came across a bunch of audiobooks. I’ve been meaning to back up my audible purchases locally, so since I’m sorting, I may as well add Libation made by reddit user /u/darchangel. Super easy to use and built in a great tutorial. I even set it up to make the folder icon the cover image. Makes file explorer look a bit better.

Got sidetracked learning how to run it in docker. Here’s an example docker compose I found that explains it, but I couldn’t get that to work. Keeping the windows install for now.

### EXAMPLE DOCKER COMPOSE ###
services:
  audiobookshelf:
    image: ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf:latest
    # ABS runs on port 13378 by default. If you want to change
    # the port, only change the external port, not the internal port
    ports:
      - 13378:80
    volumes:
      # These volumes are needed to keep your library persistent
      # and allow media to be accessed by the ABS server.
      # The path to the left of the colon is the path on your computer,
      # and the path to the right of the colon is where the data is
      # available to ABS in Docker.
      # You can change these media directories or add as many as you want
      - ./audiobooks:/audiobooks
      - ./podcasts:/podcasts
      # The metadata directory can be stored anywhere on your computer
      - ./metadata:/metadata
      # The config directory needs to be on the same physical machine
      # you are running ABS on
      - ./config:/config
    restart: unless-stopped
    # You can use the following user directive to run the ABS
    # docker container as a specific user. You will need to change
    # the UID and GID to the correct values for your user.
    # user: 1000:1000
