The library scanners on this package currently fail because it is packaged with node16-linux while upstream needs functions only available in node 17. You can fix it by switching the PKGBUILD to use node18-linux, which is what the upstream project has done.

This appears to be fixed as of the latest system updates (noticed node was bumped etc.).

Also seeing this @Juddium, I haven't had time to dig into the issue properly I'm guessing it's something to do with the way the node app is bundled into an executable, but for now I've:

  • Checked out the audiobookshelf repo locally
  • Changed the configuration so the running port matches the port it usually runs on (can also expose an env var)
  • Copied my database file in from the main install
  • Executed npm run prod within the checked out directory running in a screen so I can background it
  • This builds and runs it from source rather than packaging it into a binary and works fine in my experience

Obviously the real solution would be to work out why the binary is broken (guessing packaged wrong).

Everything builds, but it does not work. During build it throws the following:

pkg@5.8.1 (node:15609) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The punycode module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead. (Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)

After installing it refuses to run, trying to run the file itself gives the following error:

Pkg: Error reading from file.

Makepkg fails to resolve tone-bin as a dependency since its technically not a package but a build recipe.

It successfully built with my system node (20.3.1). It gave the following warning, but everything seems to be working as it should on my server.

npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE   package: 'postcss-nesting@8.0.1',
npm WARN EBADENGINE   required: { node: '12 - 16' },
npm WARN EBADENGINE   current: { node: 'v20.3.1', npm: '8.19.2' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }

Can you be more specific with what you mean by not being able to include something as a non-optional dependency because of the dependency being an AUR package? I'm the maintainer of the tone-bin AUR package. (Though since it's used by audiobookshelf to embed metadata rather than supplying core server functionality, I agree with keeping it as an optional dependency.)

Sorry everyone, been busy lately so haven't had much of a chance to update this as regularly as I had planned to. Package has been updated to latest version, and all build issues should be sorted. Willing to have someone take over this package if there's interest.

@Code_A - Should be fixed now, I just testing changing the port and adding a new library and it seemed to work as expected.

@spiritomb - It should build fine with nodejs>16 (I'm currently building it with the latest nodejs). Let me know if it still doesn't. Unfortunately I can't use nvm as a build dependency since its an AUR package.

@gilesfun - Same deal as nvm, tone-bin is a AUR package but I did add it as an optional depend.

Please add dependency tone-bin for metadata embedding

Implementing nvm as a build dependency would be helpful, because building fails with nodejs>16. Archwiki refers to the package insomnia as an example of using nvm in the build dependencies so a user doesn't have to manually run nvm use or switch their system-installed node version for building: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=insomnia

Thank you for maintaining this package! It's a great piece of software that's really helped me not lose track of my audiobooks and podcasts.
