Add a Quick Start docker-compose snippet and simplify the Manual Setup instruction in README; also replace three screenshot assets. Update multiple audiobook component tests to match recent UI changes: adjust expected button/notification text (e.g. 'Sign in to Request', 'Request created!'), change selectors for close/interactive controls, add PreferencesContext mock, reflect processing overlay and pending/denied status behavior, and update skeleton loader count (8 -> 10). These edits keep tests aligned with the current UI and improve getting-started docs.

## What is this?
|
|
|
|
You run Plex or Audiobookshelf with audiobooks. You want more audiobooks. You search indexers, download torrents or NZBs, organize files, wait for your server to scan. ReadMeABook does all of that automatically.
|
|
|
|
Request a book → Prowlarr searches → qBittorrent or SABnzbd downloads → Files organized → Library imports. Done.
|
|
|
|
Also includes BookDate: AI recommendations with a Tinder-style swipe interface. Swipe right to request.
|
|
|
|
User friendly audible-backed searches, multi-file chapter merging, e-book sidecar support, OIDC OAuth, admin approval workflows, and more.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Plex** or **Audiobookshelf**
|
|
- **Torrents** via qBittorrent
|
|
- **Usenet** via SABnzbd
|
|
- **Prowlarr** for indexer search (torrents + NZBs)
|

|
- **Chapter merging**: Multi-file downloads → single M4B with chapters
|
|
- **E-book sidecar**: Optional EPUB/PDF downloads from Shadow Library
|
|

|
|
- **Setup wizard**: Step-by-step guided config with connection testing
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
**Prerequisites:** Docker, Plex or Audiobookshelf, qBittorrent or SABnzbd, Prowlarr
|
|
|
|
### Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Download docker-compose.yml
|
|
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kikootwo/readmeabook/main/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
|
|
|
|
# Start the container
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open http://localhost:3030 and follow the setup wizard.
|
|
|
|
### Manual Setup
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to customize the compose file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
services:
|
|
readmeabook:
|
|
image: ghcr.io/kikootwo/readmeabook:latest
|
|
container_name: readmeabook
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "3030:3030"
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- ./config:/app/config
|
|
- ./cache:/app/cache
|
|
- ./downloads:/downloads # Your download client's path
|
|
- ./media:/media # Your audiobook library
|
|
- ./pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
|
|
- ./redis:/var/lib/redis
|
|
environment:
|
|
PUID: 1000 # Optional: your user ID
|
|
PGID: 1000 # Optional: your group ID
|
|
PUBLIC_URL: "https://audiobooks.example.com" # Required for OAuth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run `docker compose up -d` to start.
|
|
|
|
**Important:** Your download client (qBittorrent/SABnzbd) and RMAB must see files at the same path. See the [Volume Mapping Guide](documentation/deployment/volume-mapping.md) if downloads aren't being detected.

## Built with AI Assistance
|
|
|
|
This is a human-engineered application. Architecture, design decisions, code review, and project direction are managed by a principal engineer with nearly 15 years of professional software development experience.
|
|
|
|
AI tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) serve as force multipliers. Accelerating implementation, maintaining consistency, and handling boilerplate, while human expertise drives the technical vision. This mirrors how AI assistance is used at leading technology companies today.
|
|
|
|
**The workflow:**
|
|
- Token-optimized documentation system designed for AI consumption ([CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md))
|
|
- Structured navigation enabling AI to find relevant context without reading entire codebases
|
|
- Consistent architectural patterns that AI tools can follow and extend
|
|
- Human review of all AI-generated code before merge
|
|
|
|
The result: enterprise-grade velocity on a solo project without sacrificing code quality or architectural integrity.
