​Booksonic-air is a platform for accessing the audibooks you own wherever you are. At the moment the platform consists of Booksonic Air - A server for streaming your audiobooks, successor to the original Booksonic server and based on Airsonic. Booksonic App - An DSub based Android app for connection to Booksonic-Air servers. .

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/booksonic-air should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Version Tags

This image provides various versions that are available via tags. latest tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them.

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

docker

docker create \
  --name=booksonic-air \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e CONTEXT_PATH=url-base \
  -p 4040:4040 \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
  -v </path/to/audiobooks>:/audiobooks \
  -v </path/to/podcasts>:/podcasts \
  -v </path/to/othermedia>:/othermedia \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/booksonic-air

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  booksonic-air:
    image: linuxserver/booksonic-air
    container_name: booksonic-air
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - CONTEXT_PATH=url-base
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
      - </path/to/audiobooks>:/audiobooks
      - </path/to/podcasts>:/podcasts
      - </path/to/othermedia>:/othermedia
    ports:
      - 4040:4040
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Ports (-p)

Environment Variables (-e)

Volume Mappings (-v)

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Application Setup

Whilst this is a more up to date rebase of the original Booksonic server, upgrading in place is not supported and a fresh install has been recommended. Default user/pass is admin/admin

Docker Mods

​​​​

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) can be accessed via the dynamic badge above.
