Deploy Bookshelf in one-click installation.
Active community revival of Readarr for automating ebook and audiobook library management.
What you can build with Bookshelf
Bookshelf is the community-maintained successor to Readarr, built on the same arr framework that powers Sonarr and Radarr. It monitors your favorite authors, tracks new releases, and automatically downloads and organizes books through your existing download clients — including qBittorrent, Transmission, SABnzbd, and NZBGet — before filing them into your Calibre or Calibre-Web library with clean metadata.
Self-hosting Bookshelf on a VPS keeps the service running 24/7 so releases are captured the moment they appear, without depending on a home machine being online. Persistent volumes preserve your author lists, quality profiles, and download history across container updates.
Key features of Bookshelf
Automated Author Tracking
Monitor entire author bibliographies and series so every new release is queued for download automatically without manual searching.
Multi-Format Ebook Support
Handles EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, and audiobook formats including M4B, giving you one tool for your entire digital library.
Download Client Integration
Connects to qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, SABnzbd, and NZBGet so books land in your library through whichever client you already use.
Calibre Library Sync
Integrates directly with Calibre and Calibre-Web to import new acquisitions with consistent metadata and folder naming automatically.
Quality Profile Management
Define preferred formats and fallback options per profile, ensuring downloads meet your quality standards without manual intervention.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
