Originally created by @syriaz on GitHub (May 18, 2025).

What happened?

Installed audiobookshelf via docker compose. Then visited the URL at localhost:13378/audiobookshelf and set up the user and libraries. It worked fine.

Now after I reboot the raspberry pi 4b+ (arm64) with headless ubuntu 24.04, the container shows to be running. but for some reason the web UI loads endlessly and is not accessible.

The files are on an attached hard drive. Only if I do "docker compose down; docker compose up -d" it starts working again.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected audiobookshelf to actually work even after I reboot the raspberry pi 4b+ running headless ubuntu 24.04.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Reboot the raspberry pi 4b+ running headless ubuntu 24.04

Audiobookshelf version

2.23.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Logs

Running in production mode.

Additional Notes

I have tried delaying the docker containers start up in multiple ways, because I thought my attached hard drive wasn't ready when the container starts but that didn't fix the problem.

No, it tries to load the address for 30 seconds and then says the MYIP doesnt support a secure connection and "You are seeing this warning because this site does not support HTTPS and you are in Private mode." All of which is fine by me. I click "Continue to Site" and then it says "This site can’t be reached: MYIP took too long to respond".

Is that the log from after booting or restarting the docker container? Are you trying to access it over https without a reverse proxy?

It's from after rebooting the raspberry pi. I just type in my IP without https and yes, I dont have a reverse proxy (which I want to keep that way).

As nichwall said, you have to use http if you don't use a reverse proxy.
If you use a proxy make sure you add the certificate

I am using http://MYIP:13378/audiobookshelf.

Within 10 seconds of visiting the URL it still shows me:
This site can’t be reached. MYIP took too long to respond.
Try:
Checking the connection
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

This means you are trying to connect over https.

It's from after rebooting the raspberry pi. I just type in my IP without https and yes, I dont have a reverse proxy (which I want to keep that way).

Is this your local IP or your public IP?

Before I just typed in MYIP without the http:// part. And then I tried it with http:// as well. Both are not working.

Is this your local IP or your public IP?

Its my public ip.

But the container is stopped at that point. I have to restart the compose stack. Then it's working indefinately.

Any way to debug this further?

Can you enable Debug logs? What happens when it stops responding, like were you actively using it or just letting it sit? If you were using ABS when it froze, what were you doing?

I wasn't using it actively at the time of reboot.

Of course now it's not happening when I reboot. I have one suspicion: I usually only reboot after updates and at least last time it happens there was a docker engine update before the reboot. I'll try to capture logs next time I update docker.

Yes. As you can see there's an error the first time a book is being requested. And then I run "docker compose down" and "docker compose up -d" and then it works.

Your file system may not be available/mounted before the docker container starts when booting the raspberry pi. The file system needs to be ready before the docker container starts, or else the files don't exist in the container. This can happen with external drives.

This also explains why manually restarting the container after booting fixes the problem.

Do you know how to set this up with an external hdd so the mounted hdd is available before the docker container starts?

You can look at systemd rules to prevent docker from starting before all filesystems are mounted.

I tried multiple ways of systemd solutions with the help of chatgpt but it still does not work.

Lots of systemd stuff to delay the docker container at reboot and even etc/fstab edits. Does it matter if the hdd is formatted as exfat?

I had the same problem: Pi 4B, mounted partition of a SSD (exfat) besides the system file system.
I found the solution here:
https://davejansen.com/systemctl-delay-start-docker-service-until-mounts-available/

By adding the mount point after the next reboot everything worked as expected!
