Hot damn. All setup for secure access on #audiobookshelf via #Letsencrypt and #cloudflare The Cloudflare took a bit of figuring out but I got it. The lets encrypt took 20 minutes with the help of Claude. I give AI shit but this would have probably taken me a day or two to sus out with the documentation for certbot, nginx and trial and error.
Anyone know if there is any way of extending authorization beyond just 30 days. I don't want to need to reauthorize someone every 30 days. Also I'm assuming the minute the IP changes (Going from WIFI to cellular or the reverse on a phone.) The authorization would fail.

I set up #audiobookshelf and I started to listen to my first audiobook.
And since it has a podcasts feature I'm also picking up an old Podcast I used to listen to called #WelcomeToNightvale

I published my first add-on for @homeassistant #audiobookshelf 🎉

Тем кто пользуется #audiobookshelf думаю будет интересно.
Мобильных клиентов много, а вот десктопных почти нет, так что в порыве пощупать пару нейронок я родил absigami - Kirigami client for Audiobookshelf!

Today I added a #podcast library to my #audiobookshelf installation and imported my favourite podcasts.

I have a particular taste in podcasts, I like fiction. My favourites are audio dramas that are structured more like an old radio serial or tv series. With seasons and episodes that you're supposed to follow in order.

Most podcasts apps adopted a different behaviour, they want always to fetch and show you the latest episodes of a show.

Overcast, which was an app I used on iOS, has the horrible behaviour of skipping undownloaded episodes all the way to the most recent one. Which often caused me to listen to spoilers as it suddenly jumped multiple seasons in its quest to show you the most recent stuff.

Frustrated with that, I made a podcast player for BlogCat.

https://blogcat.org

It understands fiction and will show an interface with selectors for seasons and episodes not unlike a video streaming service. It won't jump to the most recent episode, it will always play the next episode to the one you're listening.

It serves me well.

So why did I added a podcast library to audiobookshelf? Well, because I want to listen to things on my phone while walking and BlogCat is a Firefox Add-On.

Even though audiobookshelf seems to be working fine, the ux to select episodes doesn't really take into account seasons and shows everything in an unified list. That's a bummer.

Guess, maybe I need to make BlogCat into a standalone app.

Question for all the other #selfhosting peeps: has anyone got any suggestions for setting up a #WAF in front of your services? Currently I’m relying on #haproxy on my #pfsense appliance, but a web application firewall would make me feel a bit safer.
