Hello i'm having a issue with this app that i spent over 24 hours trying everything under the sun to attempt to fix.

I been trying my best to move the temp / models / audiobooks output to my appdata instead of writing it to my docker image. Every time i check it send its to /home/user/app which isn't accessible it seems on unraid. 

 

My current settings are 

/home/user/app/tmp > /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/tmp/
/home/user/app/audiobooks > /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/audiobooks/
/home/user/app/models > /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/models/

 

I have tried everything from 

/mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/tmp/ - /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/tmp/

/mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/audiobooks/ - /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/audiobooks/

/mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/models/ - /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/models/

 

to 

/tmp/ - /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/tmp/

/audiobooks/ - /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/audiobooks/

models/ - /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/models/

 

Nothing seems to work output always saved inside the docker to home/user/app/audiobook

 

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I was able to figure the solution after alot of research. For some reason out of the box when you download the docker the docker map pathing is set to host container /home/user/app/ this config isn't correct and its also restricted , seems the correct host container info is /app/user/ only this isn't restricted and once i changed that data started showing up in my appdata folder that it was mapped to.

This is not a correct host path either.

 

Do you have any other working dockers? Do you understand docker volume mapping?

I would never want the output to be in my appdata. It should be configured to go to some other user share.

I'm just working on getting this running. 5.4% through converting my first audio book, there are no errors in the logs, and samples of some chapters that have been produced sounds great.

As to the question about mapping. The app is in /app. the GitHub repo shows some examples of mapping. Here's one:

        docker run --rm -it -v "/my/real/ebooks/folder/absolute/path:/app/ebooks" -v "/my/real/output/folder/absolute/path:/app/audiobooks" -p 7860:7860 ebook2audiobook:cpu --headless --ebook "/app/ebooks/myfile.pdf" [--voice /app/my/voicepath/voice.mp3 etc..]

I think these mappings are useful:

• /app/ebooks to a media share. Not quite sure what ends up here.

• /app/audiobooks to a media share. Not sure what ends up here but I expect the finished product.

• /app/tmp to /mnt/user/appdata/ebook2audiobook/tmp. This holds working directories. I believe is should be outside the container.

• /app/models to appdata as well.

I didn't map /app/models in the latest run, but see that the program downloaded 7G of models. Next run I'll map that to a fast share.

Conversion is running on the CPU of a AMD AI 9HX PRO 370. It is going very slow, but the output sounds great. I don't anticipate converting that many books
