Audiobookshelf have been released to the Umbrel App Store recently 🎉

By default, Umbrel apps are protected with a proxy that request the Umbrel authentication password before accessing the app:

When I installed the mobile app, I couldn’t get the connection to Umbrel server because of the proxy:

I still could solve this issue by manually disabling the proxy for this app but maybe you have an API used that could be whitelist by Umbrel directly ? (for reference, see https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps/pull/302#issuecomment-1366637166)

Another remark is that Umbrel exposed apps outside of the local network using Tor domains.
Do you have any plan to accept onion URLs to connect to the self hosted app from the mobile app on an external network ?

Thank you very much for your replies and thanks for building this great app ! 🚀

Closing since issue is resolved on Umbrel side and tailscale helps to make server available to the outside network ;)
