Overview

emptyLazyLibrarian 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.

Access

Type URL Notes Internal https://readarr.home.local LAN access via Step-CA TLS External https://readarr.jeevesconsults.ca Authentik SSO + GeoBlock + CrowdSec

The external domain uses readarr.jeevesconsults.ca (not lazylibrarian.*).

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.
