sist2 VS audiobookshelf

Quickly Googling for a docker indexer and search app I turned up Sist2, that on the surface looks like might fit your needs. I don't have an appropriate data store to run it against, so I can't speak to its indexing speed or efficacy. However, the developer does have an accessible demo to try, and the front end at least appears to function well.

I'm also looking for tools like this. You can check out this: https://github.com/simon987/sist2

Maybe sist2 (https://github.com/simon987/sist2 may fit the bill. It indexes all the metadata and then act as a giant search engine.

I am long user of sist2 from simon987 for full text search of pdf. It indexes everything (file content and metadata) through elasticsearch while providing a nice GUI. https://github.com/simon987/sist2

I have no experience with this tool, but I recall seeing it in the past. Perhaps it fills your need: https://github.com/simon987/sist2

sist2 is my primary file indexing / search engine for my SingleFile web archive. Lightweight, blazing fast and tons of customisable options.

I haven’t tried it in ages but used recoll for local indexing lots of random documents, I found a few repos on GitHub and Docker Hub but nothing super active but may be worth looking at viktor-c/docker-recoll-webui or sist2 is newer and I haven’t used it but may be better maintained at this point

Having a tool that can scan and index a shared folder would be amazing, and it being accessible from a web browser would also be great, because then I could search from any one of my several devices. The closest thing I have found was sist2. The demo seems to be what I need, but I couldn't seem to get it to run with docker. There's a direct install method, but I haven't tried that yet.

For anyone who's game to run another service for audiobooks, I've found Audiobookshelf to be pretty good: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf

A spotlight on AudioBookshelf, an audiobook and podcast streaming server

The basics are same across most any container, you probably need to map some network ports, and map some storage paths, and then you are pretty good to go. There can be more than that, but those are kind of the minimums. For instance, the example compose file for audiobookshelf does just that, maps a port, and some storage and that's about it.

Move away as in find another audiobook vendor? Or simply retain access to your existing collection?

Audiobooks from Audible can be downloaded via the UI. They will have DRM, but it's possible to remove.

If you have audiobook files without DRM you can listen to them via any app that plays audio, but there's also at least one OSS project that aims to fill audiobook UI niche [1].

Using Audiobookshelf (https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf) and hosing my own podcast with an rss feed. It works just perfect in other podcast apps but in Pocket Casts, that used to work, I can't no longer see new episodes starting from about a week ago. I have never been able to stream the episodes either, just download and listen, this also works in iOS Podcaster app.
