Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

For me: Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, Keepass, and Aegis
I couldn’t get Audiobookshelf to play nice with my networked drive; Apparently Docker just refuses to use networked drives as mapped locations. Since all of my audiobooks are stored on my NAS, it was a non-starter for me.
Prologue is a nice alternative though; It integrates with Plex to stream audiobooks. Plex doesn’t have native audiobook support, but Prologue simply uses Plex to actually access the files. Then it can read the chapter and metadata directly from the files. And since Plex’s remote access is fairly easy, it means Prologue’s remote access is fairly easy too.
The big downside is that you’re tied to Plex instead of Jellyfin. I already had a lifetime PlexPass license, so it’s not a problem for me to just spin up a Plex server with an “Audiobooks” library.
Simply wanted to leave the comment for anyone else who may be in the same boat I was in a few weeks ago with Audiobookshelf.
Jellyfin is awesome, I also use it to serve my music and audio books. It's a bit more quirky than plex but I like that it's not tied to some company server in any way.
