  That’s it. That’s the thread. Everyone else go home.

  I agree. This is the best choice for audio books.

    Big agree. I tried to make jellyfin acceptable for a while and life with audiobookshelf is just so good. github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf

  I started using it for podcasts!

  Really easy to set up on a synology NAS.

  Yep, haven’t tried Jellyfin for audiobooks in a while, but when I did it didn’t work well. Audiobookshelf on the other hand is really really good.

  Their ebook support has become quite good as well, it’s like a gift that keeps on giving!

  Oh no.

  I decided to go with an Asustor prebuilt NAS for my first self-host. It’s got a Jellyfin app, but not an Audiobookshelf app.

  Jellyfin runs on Docker, so I have the Docker app installed and running.

  Audiobookshelf runs on Docker. Could I just like, spin up a container and run it? How would I access it through my Asustor? I access Jellyfin either direct or through my portal dashboard.

  So many questions! Like, I lowkey love having all my media accessible in 1 place: Series, Movies, Music, Audiobooks all in one place through Jellyfin. If I split my Audiobooks into Audiobookshelf somehow, how do I keep the ease of access? Maybe spin up another Docker container and create a landing page linking both Jellyfin and Audiobookshelf? Could (should I? Can I?) do it all through the same Docker container that Jellyfin is currently run on? Are there tutorials about this?

  Thank you again for the suggestion

    Yes you can just spin up a container just like jellyfin.

    Yes it’s nice for a one stop shop buuuut trust us, just audiobookshelf. You’ll thank us later

    I use an app called Smart Audiobook Player for Android. I download my books from JellyFin and just use that app to play them. JellyFin’s audiobook experience is lacking right now.
