# Deployment (Proxmox LXC, auto-start)
Shelfless runs as a small Node server that serves the built SPA **and** reverse-proxies
the ABS API. So the browser only ever talks to Shelfless (one origin → no CORS), and the
Audiobookshelf address is fixed by the deployment (`ABS_URL`) — users only log in.
## 1. Prerequisites on the container
```bash
apt update && apt install -y nodejs npm git # Node 18+ (20+ recommended)
node --version
```
## 2. Get the code & build
```bash
mkdir -p /opt/shelfless && cd /opt/shelfless
# copy the project here (git clone / scp / rsync), then:
npm ci
npm run build # produces dist/
```
## 3. Configure the ABS target
The server reads these env vars (see the systemd unit):
- `ABS_URL` — the Audiobookshelf server, e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:13378` (same container)
or `http://192.168.1.71:13378` (another host).
- `PORT` — the port Shelfless listens on (default `8080`).
- `HOST` — bind address (default `0.0.0.0`).
Quick manual test:
```bash
ABS_URL=http://127.0.0.1:13378 PORT=8080 npm start
# open http://<container-ip>:8080
```
## 4. One-shot install + auto-start (recommended)
The installer does everything (Node, build, systemd enable/start). The ABS URL and port
are positional args (or env vars):
```bash
git clone https://git.scarriffle.com/Scarriffle/shelfless.git /opt/shelfless
cd /opt/shelfless
bash deploy/install.sh http://127.0.0.1:13378 8080
```
- 1st arg = ABS_URL (default `http://127.0.0.1:13378`)
- 2nd arg = PORT (default `8080`)
Manage it afterwards:
```bash
systemctl status shelfless # check it's running
journalctl -u shelfless -f # logs
systemctl restart shelfless # restart
```
Open `http://<container-ip>:8080`. The setup screen asks only for username + password
(the server URL is fixed). "Angemeldet bleiben" keeps you logged in across reloads;
otherwise you log in each session.
## Updating
```bash
cd /opt/shelfless
git pull # or copy new files
npm ci && npm run build
systemctl restart shelfless
```
## Notes
- Put it behind a reverse proxy (nginx/Caddy/Traefik) for HTTPS + a domain if you expose
it beyond the LAN.
- Proxied paths: `/api`, `/login`, `/logout`, `/public`, `/status`, `/hls`, `/feed`,
`/socket.io`. Everything else is served from `dist/` (SPA fallback to `index.html`).
