[Support] Linuxserver.io - Booksonic

With Booksonic being deprecated in favor of Booksonic Bridge according to the dev, are there going to be any more updates to this container?

Yeah, even if the underlying Booksonic code isn't updated. the container still receives updates.  If/when he releases another project to replace Booksonic in it's current guise then we'll obviously reassess things, but from your point of view at the moment, nothing has changed.

 

It's not really as though booksonic has seen much dev over the last few years anyway.

I tried latest again just now and experience the same issue.

Try a force update as it's definitely working here.  If that doesn't do it, then provide your docker run command and container logs.

That did it, thanks!

I'm having issues getting podcasts working. The audiobooks work great but I was hoping to also use it to download and stream some podcasts. Is there something special that has to be done to get that working? 

 

Examples of podcasts I have added but aren't working:

Doesn't seem to be working for me either and I know it did work at one time in the past year. Honestly, there are better options for Podcasts out there. Plex and Spotify are my preferred.

Airsonic is better for podcasts, but for audiobooks there isn't really an alternative.  The upstream project has pretty much ceased dev as well if you check out their webpage, with dev shifted to a bridge/shim type approach but nowhere near ready yet.

Thanks for the feedback guys/gals/others (pick your identifier of choice). I'm an Emby troll for the moment and really don't care to run Plex for just podcasts. I just installed the AirSonic app/container and it seems to be working. Thanks!

Hi *.*

the latest update seems to have "killed" Booksonic:

Good morning,

FWIW same error in container log with :latest tag, although a different result for me when browsing to the default page.

 

1308500844_ScreenShot2020-08-07at08_49_38.thumb.png.351bdea31d5c72c3149d5a4631eb16d6.png

 

Possibly not related, but poking around to see if anyone had detail on error cause/fix for latest, I see that the version tag for the :latest version looks unusual:

 

image null-ls76

 

When diving in to the tag line 22 from the image history reads

|4 BOOKSONIC_RELEASE=null BUILD_DATE=2020-08-06T.....

 

Mentioning in case it provides a clue - possibly with the underlying build/package process that grabs the booksonic app itself.

 

As always, thanks for the awesome work LSIO team.

Kind regards,

Del

Got a bit excited - forgot to upload error screenshot

Same problem as Del, I get a 404 error when I run the Docker. I’ve worked around it as per Moppen’s post, thanks for that.

Due that no one "official" has replied here in the Forum to this issue, I tried to reach someone from linuxserver.io on discord but I am new to discord and don't know how to do there anything ... so I tried to reach out via Github und filed an Issue. But instead of looking into this pretty obvious Issue, someone marked my "report" as invalid.

So, I think we'll have to wait until the container-maintainer himself wishes to listen to an audiobook 😊

Thanks for logging an issue @moppen - I jumped on to have a look at the issue to see if I can help provide some details for troubleshooting.

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-booksonic/issues/25 has been raised for this issue so keeping an eye on that one for updates looks like the go.

 

You can close the one you raised as a duplicate I think.

 

Kind regards,

Del

 

Looks like there are some changes upstream so we will need to make some adjustments on our container. For now, please rollback to a previous tag.

If you do not fill in the issue template, we will mark the issue with invalid.

Fixed image has now been pushed to the repo. It had broken due to the booksonic dev renaming the repo. Looks like they're rebasing booksonic on airsonic currently so we will switch to that once it is released.

Awesome, thank you

Hi folks. I've been using unraid/booksonic for several months now for listening to local mp3's with unraid and unfortunately I only know enough about unraid to get things running (not software oriented). From the info you folks have provided above I have backed down to the "linuxserver/booksonic:1.2-ls75" version and that works locally. But the Android app will no longer connect. Under the Android server settings testing connection fails (it was working). I've tried putting in the "http://LOCAL_UNRAID_IP:4040" and it also fails. If I select from within the Android server settings "Open in Browser" it gets the 404 error, but I can add "/booksonic" and it opens the login page. Is there any way to get the Android app working again? Or should I be searching for other options at this point?

 

Thanks!!

 

Bobby

i habe seen there is a new version is called Booksonic-Air ... i hope there comes an update for docker next time

Hi, Booksonic dev here,
If it works in your browser when you add /booksonic you need to do so in the app as well. Try doing that and it should fix it.

At the moment I cannot install Booksonic-Air in Unraid, do you know how to install it?

You can just use the booksonic template and change the name and repository to booksonic-air.

Great idea. Worked like a charm. The only thing I would add is that if you already have a Booksonic container and are planning on keeping it alongside Booksonic-Air, make sure you define a new config file, perhaps booksonic-air.

Looks like the team have just released the Booksonic-air container... - see this thread:
