Overview Audiobookshelf is a popular open source, self-hosted audiobook and podcast media server - stream your own audiobook and podcast collection from anywhere through a fast web player or the native iOS and Android apps, with listening-progress sync across every device. This image delivers Audiobookshelf fully installed and configured behind nginx with bundled ffmpeg, so a private audiobook server is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Audiobookshelf 2.35.
Application Stack The Audiobookshelf server is a Node.js application with an embedded SQLite datastore and a bundled web player, running under systemd and reverse-proxied by nginx, which also proxies the WebSocket traffic the player relies on. The bundled ffmpeg, ffprobe and tone tools provide transcoding and audio tagging. The server binds to the loopback interface and the config, metadata and media library all live on a dedicated, independently-resizable disk.
Secure By Default Audiobookshelf has no default administrator. The image ships at the built-in first-visit create-root-user screen, so the very first time you browse to the instance you create your own admin account with your own password. No shared or default credentials, no database rows and no media files ship in the image.
Ready To Use Complete the one-screen form to create your admin account, copy your audiobooks or podcasts to the dedicated library volume and add a library folder, and Audiobookshelf scans it automatically - then listen through the web player or the mobile apps with progress sync, browse by series and collections, and share libraries with multiple users.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat for deployment, upgrades, library migration, transcoding configuration and TLS termination.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). Audiobookshelf is served on port 80 through nginx (the server listens on 127.0.0.1:13378). Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and complete the one-screen first-visit form to create your admin (root) username and password - the image ships with no admin account, so this first visit is where you secure the instance. Then copy your audiobooks or podcasts into /usr/share/audiobookshelf (e.g. with scp or rsync over SSH), add a library folder in Settings, and Audiobookshelf scans it automatically; listen through the web player or the native iOS/Android apps. The health endpoint http://<instance-public-ip>/healthcheck is open and returns 200. Services are managed with systemctl (audiobookshelf, nginx). To enable HTTPS, follow the Let's Encrypt section of the user guide.
