Chaptarr

Ebook and audiobook collection manager — a fork of the retired Readarr that handles both in one instance. Replaces the two Bookshelf instances. Runs on Pentium.

URL

How It Works

Hardcover import list → Chaptarr → Prowlarr (10 indexers) → qBit/Gluetun → /media/books/ or /audiobooks/
  • Ebooks: custom import script copies to CWA ingest folder → Calibre library
  • Audiobooks: Audiobookshelf picks them up from /media/audiobooks/

Configuration

  • Metadata server: api2.chaptarr.com (Settings → Development). The default api.chaptarr.com has SSL issues.
  • Download client: qBittorrent on localhost:8085 (shares gluetun network)
  • Root folders: /media/books (ebooks), /media/audiobooks (audiobooks)
  • Import list: Hardcover Library — imports Want to Read, Currently Reading, Owned
  • Custom script: /config/scripts/cwa-ingest.sh — copies ebooks to CWA on import

Architecture

chaptarr.augustin.ai → Traefik (i3) → 192.168.1.16:8789 → gluetun → chaptarr
Runs inside the downloads stack (downloads/compose.yaml) with network_mode: service:gluetun. Port 8789 published through gluetun. Routed via traefik/dynamic/pentium-services.yaml.
