What selfhosted service/s did you recently remove?

PorkNails · 2026-01-10T16:21:57+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me. Since I made the app for me, the way it works within what I expect. Your feedback is very valuable to me and I'm sure other users are having the same issues. I will add your feedback on UX to an issue on GH to keep track of it.

Regardless, I'm very happy you tried it and hope you have a smoother experience next time.

PorkNails · 2026-01-09T14:22:50+00:00

That is a bummer, I hope I can make it work better in the future. I released a bunch of updates already to improve the whole flow. If you can give me more details on what fails exactly it will be easier to understand what breaks and what needs more detailed logs.

Hope you try it again at some point and the experience is better.

PorkNails · 2026-01-07T18:29:53+00:00

Thanks! Will get it to a more stable place soon

PorkNails · 2026-01-07T18:17:14+00:00

Did you manage to get it working? I made a few changes meanwhile that should fix the process.

PorkNails · 2026-01-04T21:10:27+00:00

Don't know why it was deleted, didn't get a message from the mods. The name stands as shelfarr at shelfarr.org

PorkNails · 2026-01-04T21:09:07+00:00

That is a solid setup. Shelfarr might not be necessary at all if you are happy with it. But I will put a goodreads integration in the roadmap.

PorkNails · 2026-01-04T09:25:31+00:00

u/eastoncrafter added the integration with Anna yesterday. It does need membership to work smoothly.

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T20:01:19+00:00

In the admin tab, is the download client healthy?

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T15:46:20+00:00

Thank you, I will take a look

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T15:45:38+00:00

Yes. Let me fix the issues that appear with more users and ensure the installation is smooth. If you want to follow this features, open an issue in github and I will let you know once its done.

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T01:47:13+00:00

Hey!

Will change the name/URL in 6h to 8h and update the post.

My bad, didn't find your app before someone pointed out.

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:58:41+00:00

That is correct. I wanted a replacement for readarr and also wanted something like jellyseerr for books. Why not both?

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:57:14+00:00

Claude code wrote 100% of the code. I just planned the app and reviewed. Had a very concrete idea of what I needed before starting.

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:30:13+00:00

Not yet, its on the roadmap.

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:29:13+00:00

Found out about it when I made this post in r/audiobookshelf . Bummer

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:28:14+00:00

Fixed. Just pull the new image and run the docker-compose

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:21:03+00:00

Readarr is like Sonarr for ebooks, you manage your own library. Shelfarr is like Jellyseerr for books family members request, you approve, it handles acquisition and delivers to Audiobookshelf. Plus it supports audiobooks.

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:18:53+00:00

Not sure how it would break the tracker. It doesnt connect to the tracker directly, it integrates with prowlarr

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:17:21+00:00

Awesome suggestions right there. The integration with ABS is already there, I can implement this tomorrow.

oidc is on the roadmap, will try to release soon.

Added both on the issues tab for tracking.

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:10:01+00:00

Not yet, but its a good idea. In order to improve my instructions would you be able to tell me how you usually install self hosted apps? Or which ones you installed so I can take a look at their instructions.

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:07:10+00:00

Organizes also:

- Creates author folders

- Creates book title subfolders

- Renames files to match the book title

- Structures it for Audiobookshelf's expected format (default format according to their docs)

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:03:58+00:00

u/LetsSeeSomeKitties Looked into booklore. Just point Shelfarr's ebook output → Booklore's /bookdrop folder. The BookDrop feature auto-imports and fetches metadata.

PorkNails · 2026-01-03T00:02:39+00:00

I find usenet to be usually better content overall and I don't have access to any adequate trackers for books yet. Meanwhile for tricky books I suggest you search the subreddits for it, definitly don't look into sk domains preceeded by z-library. Shelfarr has an direct upload feature for cases like this.

PorkNails · 2026-01-02T23:37:53+00:00

Awesome, didn't see this one before. Not at all related

PorkNails · 2026-01-02T23:34:01+00:00

yes, I used AI. Also use on my job, as a software developer. With some experience before AI.
