I’ve been a Readarr user with two instances(ebooks, and audiobooks) for a long time now. But more and more often, files get unlinked in the database making it less and less useful as a way to track what books I have vs “wanted,” which is my main use case.
I’ve been trying to convert to LazyLibrarian, but boy people weren’t exaggerating when they said the configuration is unclear. Unfortunately the docs do not clear it up. Interesting I’m what y’all are doing!


What’s Ephemera? I haven’t heard of it before.
I’ve checked out Booklore before, but Calibre-web-automated + calibre has been working well. The feature this is missing, and the feature from Readarr I use, is a “wanted” list.
Basically a book downloader that connects to various sources, mainly Annas archive, and then hands the downloads over to CWA(or booklore). While still heavily under development it works.

Oh sick. This seems to have the request feature I’m looking for. Thank you for the recco! I’ll be checking it out.
So far that’s not working to much,but development is fast it seems
