Overview
LazyLibrarian manages ebook, audiobook, and magazine acquisition. It monitors
authors and publications, searches for releases via Prowlarr, downloads via NZBGet,
and organises the completed files into the books library on UnRAID. Despite its
internal name, it is accessed externally via the readarr.jeevesconsults.ca domain.

Notes / Gotchas
- LazyLibrarian covers ebooks, audiobook metadata management (separate from Audiobookshelf's podcast/streaming role), and magazines. Configure each content type under its own library section within LazyLibrarian.
- The external domain (
readarr.jeevesconsults.ca) was chosen for cleaner branding — update DNS and Traefik labels if the domain ever changes. - Calibre integration can be enabled in LazyLibrarian settings if a Calibre server is available on the network for ebook format conversion.
