Originally created by @vague666 on GitHub (Feb 18, 2025).

Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Make it possible to specify the external host in the share url because right now the internal address is used. ABS is installed in TrueNAS so not sure if that matters
The external host would replace http://192.168.1.17:30067 with https://example.com (for example. Making it possible to specify the protocol would be good too)

Why would this be helpful?

It would make it easier to share a resource without having to manually update the share url every time

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

N/A

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.19.3

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Access ABS externally and it will use the external hostname.

Duh, took a while for me to get that since I don't connect to it externally normally, well, that's one option

You don't need to change anything. ABS uses the hostname, port, and protocol to display what the share URL is, so if you access it externally then you will see the share URL displayed the way you are accessing it.

I guess my issue is that since I rarely connect externally(today was the first time) it would help to be able to set the displayed host in a setting. But I agree it 'works' but not the way I'd like it to work :) Thanks :)

Is there a reason you can't just use the external domain locally? You may need to run a DNS server (such as pihole) if your router does not support hairpin NAT.

I launch the webui from the truenas ui, I don't use ABS regularly, but that's on me. I need to change habits :)
