I’m in the no-bucket, but instead i spend time on issues, helping the community and sometimes code contributions to self hosted projects instead.
This is not taken into the account of the question, however, but should be considered as contributing.
(I also consider donating to be contributing.)
Does this sync stats for downloaded books ok?
EDIT: seems like not yet, https://github.com/LeoKlaus/plappa/discussions/15
I second this comment!
I’ve always used an nginx alpine image and have been very happy with it.
Not sure how this fork business is turning out and I have also heard conflicting opinions on wether to care or not…
If you do wish for something simple that is not nginx I’m also very happy with caddy, which can also handle ssl certificates for you, if you plan to make it publicly reachable.
Do you have a beefier internet connection than you would have without pirating?
Is the same true for a NAS/HDD?

I have a script that I found somewhere and have made personal tweaks to: https://pastebin.com/RJf9kajk Put it in a file called sub-clean.sh and check the instructions in the script on how to add it to bazarr
I have not noticed any issues with it, but there can of course be false positives (like someone saying the word “Facebook” in a series/movie), so your miles may wary. (this is why i leave the .trash.tmp file personally, so that i can restore the removed lines if needed)
and as always, this script is provided as is, but it might help someone out there

This blog post mentions that it should be possible at least!
Im currently using their free tier for a hobby project and have been happy with it. Have considered moving over to self hosting the solution, but have been keeping off on it due to resource contraints, but might make the leap soon! Would be nice to get use of the uptime pings, which currently would fill the event way too quickly for the free tier.
Did the sales increase as an effect of them taking it down?
Unfortunatly I have the same experience as you regarding Readarr and audiobooks. I think one of the bigger issues is that audiobooks aren’t indexed a lot on usenet. Both indexera I use get close to no matches when I’m searching for even slightly more niche books (I find epubs all right, but no audiobooks). To solve the issue of finding stuff you would probably need a myanonymouse (private torrent tracker) invite or something, which has focus on audiobooks.
I also find that it syncs my library incorrectly to books (book A as book B, book B also as book B), which then are almost impossible to sort out, and even when it does find books that are monitored I need to manually import them nine times out of ten.
My somewhat best experience was to just DL audiobooks normally and dump them in a ”black hole” directory, and let readarr import them like that.
However, the other issues got to me and I jumped ship.
Hopefully it will become a more mature product in the future, but for now I’m staying to manual handling.
That cursor, though…
