​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. .
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 ghcr.io/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:
Architecture | Tag |
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |
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.
Tag | Description |
latest | Stable booksonic-air releases |
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---version: "2.1"services:booksonic-air:image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/booksonic-aircontainer_name: booksonic-airenvironment:- PUID=1000- PGID=1000- TZ=Europe/London- CONTEXT_PATH=url-basevolumes:- </path/to/appdata/config>:/config- </path/to/audiobooks>:/audiobooks- </path/to/podcasts>:/podcasts- </path/to/othermedia>:/othermediaports:- 4040:4040restart: unless-stopped
docker run -d \--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 \ghcr.io/linuxserver/booksonic-air
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.
Parameter | Function |
| Application WebUI |
Env | Function |
| for UserID - see below for explanation |
| for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
| Base url for use with reverse proxies etc. |
Volume | Function |
| Configuration files. |
| Audiobooks. |
| Podcasts. |
| Other media. |
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.
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.
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 usernameuid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
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
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it booksonic-air /bin/bash
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f booksonic-air
Container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' booksonic-air

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' ghcr.io/linuxserver/booksonic-air
