Readarr

RETIRED UPSTREAM (May 2026). The Servarr Team retired Readarr: its metadata became unusable and the community migration to Open Library stalled. There is no upstream development. Alternatives: the Bookshelf community fork, or the Calibre content server. This instance still runs on a pinned image tag; see below.

Readarr manages ebooks and audiobooks in the *arr stack. The stack runs on FrankBook-Pro (the Mac mini) as quadlet units inside its podman machine — not on Dankserver. It organizes books into the Calibre library that Calibre-Web serves.

Host: FrankBook-Pro (podman machine) — Access: direct port 8787 (no reverse-proxy vhost; the *arr stack is exempt by construction from the Anubis guard chain) — Docs: https://wiki.servarr.com/readarr

Deployment (current)

Quadlet unit readarr.container from this repo (frankbook-pro/readarr/quadlet/) is installed inside the podman machine at /home/core/.config/containers/systemd/readarr.service by the frankbook-pro handler in scripts/deploy-remote.sh. Unit shape:

Configuration

  1. Add Prowlarr as the indexer source (torrent indexers with book content; the Byrutor row feeds Readarr — see Prowlarr).
  2. The qBittorrent download client is parked: Readarr's abandoned client fails auth against newer qB Web-API versions (see qBittorrent for the 4.6.7 pin rationale); re-enable only after the image changes. Until then, books are imported manually or via Calibre tooling.
  3. Set author profile (format preference: epub, mobi, etc.).
  4. Set quality profile for audiobooks (320 kbps MP3, 128 kbps, lossless).
  5. Set the root folder to the books root under the COMPLETE volume.

Gotchas

  • Readarr is abandoned upstream (retired May 2026; last line was 0.4.x before the final tags). The pinned amd64-1.0.980 tag exists precisely because :latest does not exist for this image on LSIO.
  • Calibre integration is folder-based, not API-based. Readarr drops files into the books root which Calibre-Web serves.
  • Not all indexers carry all formats (epub, mobi, pdf). Goodreads/StoryGraph metadata helps match editions while those providers still respond.
