Describe the issue

On Raspi 4 using the second entry in the installation guide for linux ( debian etc )

After activating the repository and running the sudo apt install audiobookshelf it says its unable to locate package.

The package is present after running the apt update:

Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease
Hit:2 https://advplyr.github.io/audiobookshelf-ppa ./ InRelease

However even going to https://advplyr.github.io/audiobookshelf-ppa/ gives a 404 is this ok?

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Follow the instructions from https://www.audiobookshelf.org/docs/#linux-install-deb
  2. Try to run sudo apt install audiobookshelf

Audiobookshelf version

v2.7.1.

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Debian/PPA

Worked perfectly using the docker container install.

Even if docker works - how can I/we fix the apt command? 🤔 Does it support Ubuntu 22?

I have the same issue running raspberryOS.


Is the audiobookshelf.list file correct?
deb https://advplyr.github.io/audiobookshelf-ppa ./
Seems to be rather short. Would have expected something like:
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/adb-archive-keyring.gpg] https://advplyr.github.io/audiobookshelf-ppa audiobookshelf stable
I'm not sure how 'apt' is getting the information on what files it can find in a source, but https://advplyr.github.io/audiobookshelf-ppa returns 404 if called in a browser. So, I think possibly the github pages might not be maintained correctly...

Switching the contents of the .list file to
deb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-ppa/refs/heads/master ./
seems to have worked, although there isn't an arm64 variant, only amd64
