kikootwo af0eaceb98 Add extensible notification providers + UI/API
Introduce a provider-based notification system and wire it through the API and admin UI. Added INotificationProvider + notification service implementation and providers (apprise, discord, ntfy, pushover), plus a GET /api/admin/notifications/providers endpoint to expose provider metadata. Refactored code to use provider type strings (removed enum coupling), updated masking/encryption calls, and simplified the test notification endpoint to accept backendId or type+config and call sendToBackend directly.

UI: NotificationsTab now fetches provider metadata and renders provider cards and dynamic config forms (fields driven by provider metadata). Added config field rendering, improved backend cards, and edit/delete actions.

APIs: New providers route, updated admin notification CRUD routes to validate provider types dynamically, updated test route schema. Added download-client categories POST API to fetch categories from clients and wired postImportCategory handling in download-client routes.

Other notable changes: BookDate now fetches Claude models dynamically from Anthropic's Models API; added paginated model fetch helper. Added ALLOW_WEAK_PASSWORD flag exposure to auth providers and password change logic. Doc updates and various tests added/updated. File-organization doc clarifies EPERM fix using stream-based copy.

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
