Self-host your Audiobook Library on a Pi

This PiMyLifeUp tutorial shows you how you can self-host your audiobook library on a Raspberry Pi using the audiobookshelf software.

Audiobookshelf is a special media server that provides a place to store all your audiobooks and podcasts. It is similar to other media servers like Plex with it automatically fetching metadata and cover data for your audio.

Out of the box, Audiobookshelf offers support for ARM devices, meaning we can use our Raspberry Pi to run the software.

The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic platform for self-hosting your audiobooks and podcasts, thanks to it being very affordable to keep running 24/7. While low-powered, there is still more than enough performance to handle processing and serving your library.
