kikootwo d3dc6cf76d Add volume mapping docs and build/version metadata
Add a volume-mapping guide and surface build/version metadata throughout the project.

Changes included:
- documentation: Add documentation/deployment/volume-mapping.md and update TABLEOFCONTENTS.md and README to reference it (helps users align download client and RMAB paths).
- CI: Capture package.json version in .github/workflows/build-unified-image.yml, pass APP_VERSION as a build-arg, and update the Discord notification to show the semantic version and pull `:latest`.
- Docker: Declare ARG APP_VERSION and expose NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION / APP_VERSION / GIT_COMMIT env vars in dockerfile.unified so runtime and client can read the semantic version and commit.
- App API/UI: Update src/app/api/version/route.ts and src/components/ui/VersionBadge.tsx to prefer semantic app version (APP_VERSION / NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION), include fullVersion and commit info, show commit in tooltip, and adjust fallback/dev labels.
- Tests: Update tests (system.routes.test.ts and VersionBadge.test.tsx) to reflect the new version/commit fields and behavior.
- Audible integration: Add ipRedirectOverride query param to multiple Audible requests to avoid IP-based region redirects.
- Misc: Bump package.json version to 1.0.0.

These changes make version information consistent between build, runtime, and UI, improve CI notifications, add user guidance for common volume-mapping issues, and harden Audible scraping against region redirects.

ReadMeABook - Audiobook Library Management

Status: MVP Complete (Phases 1-4 ) | Docker deployment pending

Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js 14+, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Node.js/Express via Next.js API routes
  • Database: PostgreSQL (Docker embedded)
  • Queue: Bull + Redis (Docker embedded)
  • Deployment: Single Docker image

Architecture

Docker Container
├── Next.js App (Frontend + Backend)
├── PostgreSQL (users, audiobooks, requests, config, jobs)
├── Bull Queue + Redis (background jobs)
└── Volumes: /config, /downloads, /media

External integrations: Plex (auth + library), Prowlarr/Jackett (indexers), qBittorrent/Transmission (downloads), Audible (metadata scraping)

Core Features (Implemented)

  • Plex OAuth authentication
  • Setup wizard (8 steps: admin, Plex, Prowlarr, download client, paths)
  • Audiobook discovery (popular, new releases via Audible scraping)
  • Request management with status tracking
  • Automation pipeline: search → download → organize → Plex scan
  • Admin dashboard with metrics, active downloads, recent requests
  • Settings pages (Plex, Prowlarr, download client, paths)
  • Scheduled jobs (Plex scan, Audible refresh, retry logic, cleanup)
  • User/admin RBAC

User Flow

  1. Login with Plex → 2. Search/browse audiobooks → 3. Request → 4. Auto: search indexers → download torrent → organize files → scan Plex → 5. Available in Plex library
