Local Storage Mounts
Local mode scans media directly from the server filesystem or a mapped container volume for fast and reliable library access.
When to Use Local Mode
Use Local Mode when your audiobooks are stored on the same server as Leelaa Reader. It also works for NAS deployments where a media folder is mapped into a Docker container or an fnOS application.
Configure a Local Library
1. Map the Folder for Docker
Docker deployments must expose the host media folder inside the container. For example, a volume mapping such as /volume1/media:/app/media makes the library available at /app/media inside Leelaa Reader.
Enter the container path, not the original host path.
2. Add the Library
Open Library Management and add a library with these settings:
- Select Local Directory as the mode.
- Enter a recognizable library name.
- Enter the absolute path that Leelaa Reader can access, such as
/app/media.
In the domestic fnOS FPK, the fnOS folder picker is available when Leelaa Reader is opened inside the fnOS app or in fnOS window mode. A page opened directly in a regular browser, the international FPK, and Docker require an absolute path that the service can read; Docker paths must be inside the container.
Benefits
- Avoids WebDAV latency and connection interruptions.
- Scans large libraries directly from local storage.
- Supports multiple mounted folders as separate libraries.
