My partner would text me 'what did you do' when I had a day off and audiobookshelf stopped working. This is why I only tinker after midnight

    Yeah… ive been meaning to get audiobookshelf setup, but it looked like a pain so it’s been sitting there untouched. That along with needing to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin, my projects pile up.

    ABS is actually quite easy if you already have a library for audiobooks on Plex

    Just install ABS on the same box and point it at the same folder and it will do most of the rest itself

    Remote access is a bit of a pain though. I'm using tailscale for it. I wish there was a better, more universal (also free) 2fa solution out there but it just doesn't exist.

    I got it up and running in about 10 minutes just yesterday, but that's probably because I had already spent a couple of days learning how to use quadlets and getting my remote access scheme figured out.

    I just set it up with my Docker setup. Point it at the appropriate volumes and it pretty much goes. GUI tools for Docker help. I like Dockge.

    Even with docker, things can get complicated. Like if you use *arr stack for your plex library, but you manually copied in some extra subtitle files, or tweaked the descriptions of some media. Now you have to find those customizations so you can migrate them to the jellyfin library

    I also wait until my partner is asleep. It still doesn't make me 100% safe from the 'what did you do' texts, because sometimes I break things that I don't think to check. Worse, sometimes I break something so bad that I stay up until 6am trying to fix it, only to cook my brain and pass out without fully repairing what went wrong.

    But it's still better than doing it during the day.
