  container_name: readarr
  restart: unless-stopped

Configuration

  1. Add Prowlarr as the indexer source (torrent indexers with book content).
  2. Add qBittorrent as the download client with the books category.
  3. Set author profile (format preference: epub, mobi, etc.).
  4. Set quality profile for audiobooks (320 kbps MP3, 128 kbps, lossless).
  5. Set root folder to /books.
  6. Add authors and verify downloads.

Gotchas

  • Readarr is in development (~v0.2.x). Some features may be incomplete.
  • Calibre integration is folder-based, not API-based. Readarr drops files into /books which Calibre-Web serves.
  • Not all indexers have all formats (epub, mobi, pdf). Goodreads/StoryGraph metadata helps match editions.
