linuxserver/lazylibrarian¶
Lazylibrarian is a program to follow authors and grab metadata for all your digital reading needs. It uses a combination of Goodreads Librarything and optionally GoogleBooks as sources for author info and book info. This container is based on the DobyTang fork.
Supported Architectures¶
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/lazylibrarian:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
| armhf | ❌ |
Application Setup¶
Access the webui at http://<your-ip>:5299/home, for more information check out Lazylibrarian.
Calibredb import¶
64bit only We have implemented the optional ability to pull in the dependencies to enable the Calibredb import program:, this means if you don't require this feature the container isn't uneccessarily bloated but should you require it, it is easily available. This optional layer will be rebuilt automatically on our CI pipeline upon new Calibre releases so you can stay up to date. To use this option add the optional environmental variable as detailed in the docker-mods section to pull an addition docker layer to enable ebook conversion and then in the LazyLibrarian config page (Processing:Calibredb import program:) set the path to converter tool to /usr/bin/calibredb
ffmpeg¶
By adding linuxserver/mods:lazylibrarian-ffmpeg to your DOCKER_MODS environment variable you can install ffmpeg into your container on startup. This allows you to use the audiobook conversion features of LazyLibrarian. You can enable it in the Web UI under Settings > Processing > External Programs by setting the ffmpeg path to ffmpeg.
Media folders¶
We have set /books as optional path, this is because it is the easiest way to get started. While easy to use, it has some drawbacks. Mainly losing the ability to hardlink (TL;DR a way for a file to exist in multiple places on the same file system while only consuming one file worth of space), or atomic move (TL;DR instant file moves, rather than copy+delete) files while processing content.
Use the optional path if you dont understand, or dont want hardlinks/atomic moves.
The folks over at servarr.com wrote a good write-up on how to get started with this.
Usage¶
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.
