Hey all! Has anyone successfully installed and run ebook2audiobook on unRAID? I've gotten it installed and it'll run (CPU-only, as I only have Intel QS for hardware transcoding) but eventually it'll crash my whole system. I've never been watching as unRAID fails, but I'm guessing it's because the application files are all stored within Docker and therefore the Docker .img file in unRAID and that'll eventually fill up and crash. But I can't seem to find a way to map the correct folders within the container outside of the docker.img file.

 

Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I've created folder mapping to map /audiobooks and /tmp in the container to somewhere on my cache drive (as it seems all output goes to /tmp first and /audiobooks eventually, but the container doesn't seem to write to it, only locally on the docker.img file...

Right, fixed (or at least solved the immediate problem) but doing the following on template creation:

Added 3 Path mounts:
/home/user/app/tmp > /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/app/tmp/
/home/user/app/audiobooks > /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/app/audiobooks/
/home/user/app/models > /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/app/models/

 

chown nobody:user -R /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/app/

 

That should move the large processing files out of the docker img file, though the docker itself is still 13.7GB for me, even without those files...

Hmm...scratch that-seems to still crash unRAID, even with these settings...

Did you ever figure out why it's crashing? I had plenty of space in docker and in appdata, but it crashed about 90% of the way through. I was also doing CPU only. I have it working fine on my macbook. I've also noticed that even if the webgui crashes, it'll finish if you just let it go.

Nope, though I expect it has to do with it not being on the correct git project, not properly mapping folders, and generally not being optimised for unRAID. There are whispers in the discord it'll be fixed soon, though, probably with the upgrade to v2.1

Have you found an alternative solution for converting ebooks into audiobooks by any chance? I found this thread after trying, and failing, to install the ebook2audiobook docker through the unraid action centre.

I just grabbed this app but it's instantly crashing for me too. Does it need CPU only flag or am I supposed to find a model and map it before starting?

Go to the Edit template page ➡️ switch to Advanced view ➡️ remove `python app.py` from Post Arguments ➡️ apply to update the container.

I managed to successfully start the container with this.
