kikootwo 2ef9ac7be1 Add Kindle EPUB compatibility fixer
Introduce an optional Kindle EPUB compatibility fixer and integrate it into the ebook organization flow. Adds a new config key (ebook_kindle_fix_enabled, default false), a settings API update, and a UI toggle (visible when preferred format is EPUB). Implements src/lib/utils/epub-fixer.ts (uses adm-zip and cheerio) to apply fixes: add UTF-8 XML declarations, remove body/#bodymatter fragments from links, validate/normalize dc:language, and remove stray <img> tags without src. organize-files.processor now detects EPUB downloads, runs the fixer (produces a temp fixed EPUB), uses the fixed file for organization, logs fixes, and cleans up temporary files; fix failures are non-blocking and the original download is preserved. Adds dependencies adm-zip and @types/adm-zip and updates documentation and types/UI to expose the new setting. Also includes helper functions to detect EPUB paths in downloads.

  • 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
