kikootwo ca7cac0c88 Add remote path mapping for qBittorrent integration
Implements remote-to-local path mapping for qBittorrent downloads, allowing the app to handle differing filesystem paths between qBittorrent and the local environment (e.g., remote seedboxes, Docker). Adds UI controls in admin settings and setup wizard, validates mapping configuration, and applies path transformation in download and import processors. Updates documentation, API routes, and data models to support the new feature. Also improves library scan logic to remove stale records and reset orphaned audiobooks and requests. Increases minimum torrent score threshold from 30 to 50 in search and ranking logic, and exposes torrent source URLs in the admin UI.

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
