Readarr Redux is an unofficial continuation of Readarr, the ebook and audiobook manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users, which the Servarr team retired in June 2025. It runs against a metadata source you choose and fixes the bugs that made Readarr lose books. You need a metadata source: Readarr Redux has no built-in one. Run rreading-glasses (https://github.com/blampe/rreading-glasses) yourself or use a public instance you trust, then set it in Settings, Metadata Source. It is a drop-in for the linuxserver.io Readarr container: config.xml and readarr.db sit at the root of /config. To move over, stop your old Readarr container and copy its appdata folder to the path below first, so the old container keeps an untouched copy. The database upgrade can't be undone without that copy. Until a login is set up, the web UI asks for a one-time setup code, which Readarr prints to the container log

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
