The end-to-end path for ebooks and audiobooks. Everything runs on CT100; all search/download traffic exits through the Netherlands seedbox over a SOCKS5 tunnel. Verified 2026-07-27.
Note on Readarr: the classic Readarr book-*arr is not used here — its role (monitoring the download folder and importing to the library) is filled by the Bookshelf container. Older docs that say “Readarr” mean Bookshelf.

Storage
- Downloads land in
/mnt/seedbox/Books(thenvmepool/ingestdataset on hpve, mounted into CT100). Shelfmark writes here; Bookshelf imports from here. - The existing library (~512 books) lives in that shared Books folder.
- All outbound book traffic exits via the Netherlands seedbox SOCKS5 tunnel — nothing hits indexers from the home IP directly.
- See Storage & Backup for pool details.
