RHEL, CentOS

caution
  • This installation method is still in testing.
  • Only for amd64 architecture.
  • Supported operating systems are Red Hat and CentOS Stream 8/9 variants.
  • You cannot load a backup from another installation method after installation without losing progress. Use the Docker installation if you plan to switch drives or OS.

Installation​

To activate the repository, run:

dnf install -y "https://github.com/lkiesow/audiobookshelf-rpm/raw/el$(rpm -E %rhel)/audiobookshelf-repository-1-1.el$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm"

Then install Audiobookshelf (all dependencies will be installed automatically):

dnf install audiobookshelf

Configuration​

You can configure Audiobookshelf in /etc/default/audiobookshelf.
Here you can add the same configuration options you would pass to the Docker container.

METADATA_PATH=/var/lib/audiobookshelf/metadata
CONFIG_PATH=/var/lib/audiobookshelf/config
PORT=13378
HOST=127.0.0.1

By default, Audiobookshelf will listen on localhost only.
This is sufficient if you install a reverse proxy (you should!).

To listen on all network interfaces, set:

HOST=0.0.0.0

Start Audiobookshelf​

To run Audiobookshelf and ensure it starts automatically after reboot:

systemctl start audiobookshelf.service
systemctl enable audiobookshelf.service

To check the current status of the service:

systemctl status audiobookshelf.service
