LazyLibrarian is a program to follow authors and grab metadata for all your digital reading needs. It uses a combination of OpenLibrary Librarything GoodReads and optionally GoogleBooks as sources for author info and book info. License: GNU GPL v3
LazyLibrarian used GoodReads extensively for author and book info, but they have now shut down their api. If you have an existing,working goodreads api key you can continue using it until they close completely, otherwise I suggest using OpenLibrary.
Right now it's capable of the following: * Import an existing calibre library (optional) * Find authors and add them to the database * List all books of an author and mark ebooks or audiobooks as 'wanted'. * LazyLibrarian will search for a nzb-file or a torrent or magnet link for that book * If a nzb/torrent/magnet is found it will be sent to a download client or saved in a black hole where your download client can pick it up. * Currently supported download clients for usenet are : - sabnzbd (versions later than 0.7.x preferred) - nzbget - synology_downloadstation * Currently supported download clients for torrent and magnets are: - deluge - transmission - utorrent - qbittorrent - rtorrent - synology_downloadstation * When processing the downloaded books it will save a cover picture (if available) and save all metadata into metadata.opf next to the bookfile (calibre compatible format) * The new theme for the site allows it to be accessed from devices with a smaller screen (such as a tablet) * AutoAdd feature for book management tools like Calibre which must have books in flattened directory structure, or use calibre to import your books into an existing calibre library * LazyLibrarian can also be used to search for and download magazines, and monitor for new issues
LazyLibrarian runs by default on port 5299 at http://localhost:5299

Auto update available via interface from master for git and source installs
rpm deb flatpak and snap packages here : https://gitlab.com/LazyLibrarian/LazyLibrarian/tags These packages do not use the lazylibrarian internal update mechanism. You can check version from inside lazylibrarian, but to upgrade use the appropriate package manager. The packages are not updated as regularly as the git/source installations. NOTE: the smaller flatpak package does not include ghostscript (for magazine cover generation) or calibredb (for calibre communication) If you need these features, install from source or git, or use the flatpak+ file. The flatpak+ file includes both ghostscript and calibredb but is considerably larger because of this. To install: flatpak install lazylibrarian_1.x.x.flatpak. To run: flatpak run org.flatpak.LazyLibrarian The snap package is confined to users home directory, so all books and downloads need to be accessible from there too. It should be able to use system installed versions of ghostscript and calibredb provided they are in the system path. Install the snap package with --devmode eg snap install lazylibrarian_1.7.2_amd64.snap --devmode AUR package available here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lazylibrarian/ QNAP LazyLibrarian is now available for the QNAP NAS via sherpa. https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=320&t=132373v
LinuxServer : https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/lazylibrarian/ The docker package includes ghostscript for magazine cover generation and calibredb (via optional variable) LinuxServer docker is multi-arch and works on X86_64, armhf and aarch64 (calibredb only available on X86_64) The dockers can be upgraded using the lazylibrarian internal upgrade mechanism
