title: Auth
---
This page covers application-level configuration for provider access and authentication.
## Auth behavior
- Auth is enabled only when both `BASE_URL` and `AUTH_SECRET` are set.
- Remove either value to disable auth.
- Keep `AUTH_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` empty to trust only `BASE_URL`.
- Anonymous auth sessions are disabled by default.
- Set `USE_ANONYMOUS_AUTH_SESSIONS=true` to enable anonymous session flows.
## Route behavior
- `/` is a public landing/onboarding page and remains indexable.
- `/app` is the protected app home (document list and uploader UI).
- If auth is enabled and a valid session exists (including anonymous), visiting `/` redirects to `/app`.
- Protected app routes continue to require auth; when anonymous sessions are disabled and no session exists, users are redirected to `/signin`.
## Related docs

- For TTS character limits and quota behavior: [TTS Rate Limiting](./tts-rate-limiting)
- For provider-specific guidance: [TTS Providers](./tts-providers)
- For storage/S3/SeaweedFS behavior: [Object / Blob Storage](./object-blob-storage)
- For database mode: [Database](./database)
- For migration behavior and commands: [Migrations](./migrations)
## Sync notes
### Auth enabled
- Settings and reading progress are saved to the server.
- Updates are not instant push-based sync; they use normal client polling/refresh behavior.
- If two devices change the same item around the same time, the newest update wins.
### Auth disabled
- Settings and reading progress stay local in the browser (Dexie/IndexedDB).
- This avoids no-auth cross-browser conflicts, but there is no cross-device sync.
## Claim modal note
- You may still see old anonymous settings/progress available to claim from older deployments.

title: Database
---
This page covers database mode selection for OpenReader.
## Database mode
- SQLite (default): embedded DB at `docstore/sqlite3.db`; good for local/self-host single-instance setups.
- Postgres: enabled when `POSTGRES_URL` is set; recommended for production/distributed deployments.
## What the database stores
- Document and audiobook metadata/state used by server routes.
- Auth/session tables (`user`, `session`, `account`, `verification`) when auth is enabled — schema is auto-generated by Better Auth.
- TTS character usage counters (`user_tts_chars`) for daily rate limiting (when enabled).
- User settings preferences (`user_preferences`) when auth is enabled.
- User reading progress (`user_document_progress`) when auth is enabled.
- Document preview job/asset metadata (`document_previews`) for server-side PDF/EPUB thumbnails.
App-specific tables are manually maintained in Drizzle schema files, while auth tables are generated by the Better Auth CLI. Both are migrated together via Drizzle. See [Migrations](./migrations) for details.
## Related variables
- `POSTGRES_URL`
For database variable behavior, see [Environment Variables](../reference/environment-variables#database-and-object-blob-storage).
## Related docs
- [Migrations](./migrations)
- [Object / Blob Storage](./object-blob-storage)
- [Auth](./auth)
## State sync summary
- With auth enabled, settings and reading progress are stored in SQL and synced from the app.
- With auth disabled, settings and reading progress remain local in the browser.
- Sync is currently request-based (not realtime push invalidation).

title: Migrations
---
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
This page covers migration behavior for both database schema and storage data in OpenReader.
## Startup migration behavior
By default, the shared entrypoint runs migrations automatically before app startup in:
- Docker container startup
- `pnpm dev`
- `pnpm start`
Startup migration phases:
- DB schema migrations (`pnpm migrate`)
- Storage/data migration (`pnpm migrate-fs`) for legacy filesystem content into S3 + DB rows
:::info
In most setups, you do not need to run migration commands manually because startup handles this automatically.
:::
To skip automatic startup migrations:
- Set `RUN_DRIZZLE_MIGRATIONS=false`
- Set `RUN_FS_MIGRATIONS=false`
:::warning
If you disable startup migrations, ensure your deployment process runs migrations before serving traffic.
:::
## Apply migrations
In most cases, you do not need manual migration commands because startup runs migrations automatically.
`pnpm migrate` applies migrations for one database target:
- Postgres when `POSTGRES_URL` is set
- SQLite when `POSTGRES_URL` is unset
You can always override the target explicitly with `--config`.
<Tabs groupId="apply-migration-commands">
<TabItem value="project-scripts" label="Project Scripts" default>
```bash
# Run pending migrations for one target:
# - Postgres if POSTGRES_URL is set
# - SQLite if POSTGRES_URL is unset
pnpm migrate
# Run storage migration (filesystem -> S3 + DB)
pnpm migrate-fs
# Dry-run storage migration without uploading/deleting
pnpm migrate-fs:dry-run
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="drizzle-direct" label="Manual Drizzle Cmd">
```bash
# Migrate SQLite
pnpm exec drizzle-kit migrate --config drizzle.config.sqlite.ts
# Migrate Postgres
pnpm exec drizzle-kit migrate --config drizzle.config.pg.ts
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Generate migrations
`pnpm generate` is a two-phase script for contributors and schema changes:
1. **Better Auth schema generation** — runs the Better Auth CLI twice (once for SQLite, once for Postgres) to produce auto-generated Drizzle schema files for auth tables (`user`, `session`, `account`, `verification`).
2. **Drizzle migration generation** — runs `drizzle-kit generate` for both `drizzle.config.sqlite.ts` and `drizzle.config.pg.ts`, producing SQL migration files from all schema files (app + auth).
:::note
Most users do not need to run `pnpm generate`. Use it when contributing or when you have changed Drizzle schema files and need new migration files.
:::
### Schema ownership
Auth tables are owned by Better Auth. Their Drizzle schema definitions are auto-generated and should **not** be hand-edited:
- `src/db/schema_auth_sqlite.ts`
- `src/db/schema_auth_postgres.ts`
App-specific tables are manually maintained in the standard Drizzle schema files:
- `src/db/schema_sqlite.ts`
- `src/db/schema_postgres.ts`
Both sets of schema files are included in the Drizzle configs, so `drizzle-kit generate` and `drizzle-kit migrate` handle all tables together.
<Tabs groupId="generate-migration-commands">
<TabItem value="project-script" label="Project Script" default>
```bash
# Full pipeline: Better Auth CLI + Drizzle generate (both dialects)
pnpm generate
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="drizzle-direct" label="Manual Drizzle Cmd">
```bash
# Generate SQLite migrations only (skips Better Auth CLI)
pnpm exec drizzle-kit generate --config drizzle.config.sqlite.ts
# Generate Postgres migrations only (skips Better Auth CLI)
pnpm exec drizzle-kit generate --config drizzle.config.pg.ts
```
:::warning
Running `drizzle-kit generate` directly skips the Better Auth CLI step. If auth schema has changed upstream (e.g. after a Better Auth version bump), run `pnpm generate` instead to regenerate the auth schema files first.

title: Object / Blob Storage
---
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
This page documents storage backends, blob upload routing, and core Docker mount behavior.
## Storage backends
- Embedded (default): SQLite metadata + embedded SeaweedFS (`weed mini`) blobs.
- External: Postgres + external S3-compatible object storage.
Storage variables are documented in [Environment Variables](../reference/environment-variables#database-and-object-blob-storage).
## Ports
- `3003`: OpenReader app and API routes
- `8333`: Embedded SeaweedFS S3 endpoint for direct browser blob access
:::info
`8333` is only needed for direct browser presigned access to embedded SeaweedFS.
:::
## Upload behavior
- Primary path: browser uploads to presigned URL from `/api/documents/blob/upload/presign`.
- Fallback path: `/api/documents/blob/upload/fallback` when direct upload fails/unreachable.
- Read/download path: blob/content serving route `/api/documents/blob` (not the upload fallback route).
- Preview path: `/api/documents/blob/preview` (returns `202` while a preview is generating; serves/redirects when ready).
## Document previews
- PDF/EPUB previews are generated server-side and stored in object storage under `document_previews_v1`.
- Preview generation is triggered on upload registration and also backfills on first preview request for older docs.
- Preview artifacts are temporary-cache friendly and can be regenerated from the source document blob.
## FS / Volume Mounts
### App data mount
- Target: `/app/docstore`
- Recommended: yes, for persistence
- Purpose: persists SeaweedFS blob data, SQLite metadata DB, migrations, and local runtime temp state
- Mount string: `-v openreader_docstore:/app/docstore`
### Library source mount (optional)
- Target: `/app/docstore/library`
- Recommended: optional, use read-only (`:ro`)
- Purpose: exposes host files as a source for server library import
- Mount string: `-v /path/to/your/library:/app/docstore/library:ro`
- Details: [Server Library Import](./server-library-import)
## Private blob endpoint mode
If `8333` is not published externally:
- Document uploads still work through upload fallback proxy
- Reads/snippets continue through app API routes
- Direct presigned browser upload/download to embedded endpoint is unavailable
:::warning
Without `8333`, expect higher app-server traffic because uploads/downloads go through API routes instead of direct object endpoint access.
:::
## Audiobook Storage Debug Commands
Audiobook assets are stored in object storage under the `audiobooks_v1` keyspace. Use these commands to inspect and download objects for debugging.
<Tabs groupId="audiobook-storage-access-cli">
<TabItem value="aws-s3" label="AWS S3" default>
```bash
# List all audiobook objects
aws s3 ls "s3://$S3_BUCKET/$S3_PREFIX/audiobooks_v1/" --recursive
# Filter to one book id (replace <book-id>)
aws s3 ls "s3://$S3_BUCKET/$S3_PREFIX/audiobooks_v1/" --recursive | grep "<book-id>-audiobook/"
# Download one object by full key
aws s3 cp "s3://$S3_BUCKET/$S3_PREFIX/audiobooks_v1/<path>/<file>.m4b" "./audiobook.m4b"
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="s3-compatible" label="Embedded / MinIO / R2 / etc">
```bash
# List all audiobook objects
aws s3 ls "s3://$S3_BUCKET/$S3_PREFIX/audiobooks_v1/" --recursive --endpoint-url "$S3_ENDPOINT"
# Filter to one book id (replace <book-id>)
aws s3 ls "s3://$S3_BUCKET/$S3_PREFIX/audiobooks_v1/" --recursive --endpoint-url "$S3_ENDPOINT" | grep "<book-id>-audiobook/"
# Download one object by full key
aws s3 cp "s3://$S3_BUCKET/$S3_PREFIX/audiobooks_v1/<path>/<file>.m4b" "./audiobook.m4b" --endpoint-url "$S3_ENDPOINT"
```
Embedded default example: `S3_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8333` (or your mapped host/port).

title: Server Library Import
---
This page documents how server library import works and how to configure it.
## What it does
Server library import lets you browse files from one or more server directories and import selected files into OpenReader.
- Import is user-driven via a selection modal
- Only selected files are imported
- Imported files become normal OpenReader documents
## FS / Volume Mounts
### App data mount
- Target: `/app/docstore`
- Recommended: yes, for persistence
- Purpose: stores app runtime data, metadata DB, and embedded storage state
- Mount string: `-v openreader_docstore:/app/docstore`
### Library source mount
- Target: `/app/docstore/library`
- Recommended: yes for this feature, use read-only (`:ro`)
- Purpose: exposes host files as import candidates in Server Library Import
- Mount string: `-v /path/to/your/library:/app/docstore/library:ro`
## Import flow
1. Open **Settings -> Documents -> Server Library Import**.
2. Select files in the modal.
3. Click **Import**.
Selected files are fetched from the server library endpoint and imported into OpenReader storage.
:::warning Shared Library Roots
Library roots are configured at the server level (not per-user). Any user who can access Server Library Import can browse/import from the same configured roots.
Imported documents are still saved to the importing user's document scope.
:::
## Supported file types
- `.pdf`
- `.epub`
- `.html`, `.htm`
- `.txt`
- `.md`, `.mdown`, `.markdown`
## Optional: Configure Library Roots
You only need this when the default mounted path is not what you want.
By default, OpenReader uses `docstore/library` as the import root. You can override that with environment variables:
- `IMPORT_LIBRARY_DIRS` (takes precedence): multiple roots separated by comma, colon, or semicolon
- `IMPORT_LIBRARY_DIR`: single root
See [Environment Variables](../reference/environment-variables#library-import) for variable details.
## Notes
- Library listing is capped per request (up to 10,000 files).
- When auth is enabled, library import endpoints require a valid session.
- The mounted library is a source; removing it does not delete already imported documents.

## Provider
- Provider: `Custom OpenAI-Like`
- `API_BASE`: required (your service base URL)
- `API_KEY`: set if required by your service
Custom providers should expose:
- `GET /v1/audio/voices`
- `POST /v1/audio/speech`
## OpenReader setup
1. In OpenReader Settings, choose provider `Custom OpenAI-Like`.
2. Set `API_BASE` to your service base URL (typically ending with `/v1`).
3. Set `API_KEY` if your service requires authentication.
4. Choose a model and voice supported by your backend.
## Notes
:::warning Compatibility required
Custom providers must implement OpenAI-compatible TTS endpoints, including `GET /v1/audio/voices` and `POST /v1/audio/speech`.
:::
:::info Voice troubleshooting
If voices do not load, verify the `/v1/audio/voices` response shape and that the endpoint is reachable from the OpenReader server.

title: TTS Rate Limiting
---
This page explains OpenReader's TTS character rate limiting controls.
## Overview
- TTS rate limiting is disabled by default.
- To enable it, set `TTS_ENABLE_RATE_LIMIT=true`.
- Limits are enforced per day in UTC.
- Enforcement applies only when auth is enabled.
## How enforcement works
When enabled, OpenReader enforces:
- Per-user daily character limits.
- IP backstop daily character limits.
- Anonymous device backstop tracking (cookie-based) to reduce limit resets.
If a request exceeds the active limit, the TTS API returns `429` with reset metadata for the next UTC day.
## Required auth behavior
- Auth must be enabled (`BASE_URL` + `AUTH_SECRET`) for TTS char limits to apply.
- If auth is disabled, TTS character limits are effectively unlimited.
- `DISABLE_AUTH_RATE_LIMIT` only affects Better Auth's own request throttling.
- `DISABLE_AUTH_RATE_LIMIT` does not disable TTS character limits.
## Environment variables
Enable/disable:
- `TTS_ENABLE_RATE_LIMIT` (default: `false`)
Per-user daily limits:
- `TTS_DAILY_LIMIT_ANONYMOUS` (default: `50000`)
- `TTS_DAILY_LIMIT_AUTHENTICATED` (default: `500000`)
IP backstop daily limits:
- `TTS_IP_DAILY_LIMIT_ANONYMOUS` (default: `100000`)
- `TTS_IP_DAILY_LIMIT_AUTHENTICATED` (default: `1000000`)

title: Vercel Deployment
---
This guide covers deploying OpenReader to Vercel with external Postgres and S3-compatible object storage.
## What works on Vercel
- Documents (PDF/EPUB/TXT/MD) work with `POSTGRES_URL` + external S3 storage.
- Audiobook routes work on Node.js serverless functions using `ffmpeg-static`.
:::warning DOCX Conversion Limitation
`docx` conversion requires `soffice` (LibreOffice), which is not available in a standard Vercel runtime.
:::
## 1. Environment Variables
Recommended production setup (auth enabled):
```bash
API_BASE=https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai
API_KEY=your_deepinfra_key
POSTGRES_URL=postgres://...
USE_EMBEDDED_WEED_MINI=false
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
S3_BUCKET=...
S3_REGION=us-east-1
S3_PREFIX=openreader
BASE_URL=https://your-app.vercel.app
AUTH_SECRET=...
# Optional client/runtime feature defaults:
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_DOCX_CONVERSION=false
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_DESTRUCTIVE_DELETE_ACTIONS=false
NEXT_PUBLIC_DEFAULT_TTS_PROVIDER=deepinfra
NEXT_PUBLIC_DEFAULT_TTS_MODEL=hexgrad/Kokoro-82M
NEXT_PUBLIC_SHOW_ALL_DEEPINFRA_MODELS=false
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_AUDIOBOOK_EXPORT=true
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_WORD_HIGHLIGHT=false
# Optional (non-AWS S3-compatible providers):
# S3_ENDPOINT=https://...
# S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=true
```
:::info Production Configuration & Feature Flags
We recommend setting these defaults for a production-like environment:
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_DOCX_CONVERSION=false`: Disables DOCX upload (requires external tools anyway)
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_DESTRUCTIVE_DELETE_ACTIONS=false`: Hides destructive "Delete All" actions
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_DEFAULT_TTS_PROVIDER=deepinfra`: Points default TTS to a scalable provider
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_DEFAULT_TTS_MODEL=hexgrad/Kokoro-82M`: Uses a high-quality default model
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_SHOW_ALL_DEEPINFRA_MODELS=false`: Restricts usage to free models if no key is provided
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_AUDIOBOOK_EXPORT=true`: (Optional) Controls audiobook export UI
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_WORD_HIGHLIGHT=false`: (Optional) Controls word highlighting UI (requires timestamp backend)
:::
:::warning Auth recommendation
For internet-exposed Vercel deployments, set both `BASE_URL` and `AUTH_SECRET`. Running without auth is possible, but not recommended for public environments.
:::
:::tip
For all variables and defaults, see [Environment Variables](../reference/environment-variables).
:::
## 2. FFmpeg packaging in Vercel functions
`ffmpeg-static` binaries must be included in function traces. This repo already does that in `next.config.ts` via `outputFileTracingIncludes` for:
- `/api/audiobook`
- `/api/audiobook/chapter`
- `/api/audiobook/status`
- `/api/whisper`
:::info
`serverExternalPackages` should include `ffmpeg-static` so package paths resolve at runtime instead of being bundled into route output.
:::
If you change route paths or split handlers, update `outputFileTracingIncludes` accordingly.
## 3. Function memory sizing
FFmpeg workloads benefit from more memory/CPU. This repo includes:
```json
{
"$schema": "https://openapi.vercel.sh/vercel.json",
"functions": {
"app/api/audiobook/route.ts": { "memory": 3009 },
"app/api/whisper/route.ts": { "memory": 3009 }
}
}
```
Adjust memory per route if your files are larger or your plan differs.
## 4. Runtime expectations and caveats
- Audiobook APIs require S3 configuration; otherwise they return `503`.
- For production Vercel deploys, use `POSTGRES_URL` instead of SQLite.
- Filesystem-to-object-store migrations run via server scripts/entrypoint (`scripts/migrate-fs-v2.mjs`), not API routes.
- Vercel deployments do not run `scripts/openreader-entrypoint.mjs`, so run `pnpm migrate-fs` in a controlled environment when migrating legacy filesystem data.
## 5. Smoke test after deploy
1. Upload and read a PDF/EPUB document.
2. Confirm sync/blob fetch works across refreshes/devices.
3. Generate at least one audiobook chapter and play/download it.
4. If using word highlighting, verify timestamps are produced and rendered.

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
## Prerequisites
- A recent Docker version installed
- A TTS API server that OpenReader can reach (Kokoro-FastAPI, Orpheus-FastAPI, DeepInfra, OpenAI, or equivalent)
:::note
If you have suitable hardware, you can run Kokoro locally with Docker. See [Kokoro-FastAPI](./configure/tts-provider-guides/kokoro-fastapi).
:::
## 1. Start the Docker container
<Tabs groupId="docker-start-mode">
<TabItem value="minimal" label="Minimal" default>
Auth disabled, embedded storage ephemeral, no library import:
```bash
docker run --name openreader \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 3003:3003 \
-p 8333:8333 \
ghcr.io/richardr1126/openreader:latest
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="localhost" label="Localhost">
Persistent storage, embedded SeaweedFS `weed mini`, optional auth, optional library mount:
```bash
docker run --name openreader \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 3003:3003 \
-p 8333:8333 \
-v openreader_docstore:/app/docstore \
-v /path/to/your/library:/app/docstore/library:ro \
-e API_BASE=http://host.docker.internal:8880/v1 \
-e API_KEY=none \
-e BASE_URL=http://localhost:3003 \
-e AUTH_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
ghcr.io/richardr1126/openreader:latest
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="local-network" label="LAN Host">
Use this when the app should be reachable from other devices on your LAN:
```bash
docker run --name openreader \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 3003:3003 \
-p 8333:8333 \
-v openreader_docstore:/app/docstore \
-e API_BASE=http://host.docker.internal:8880/v1 \
-e BASE_URL=http://<YOUR_LAN_IP>:3003 \
-e AUTH_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
-e AUTH_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=http://localhost:3003,http://127.0.0.1:3003 \
-e USE_ANONYMOUS_AUTH_SESSIONS=true \
ghcr.io/richardr1126/openreader:latest
```
Replace `<YOUR_LAN_IP>` with the Docker host IP address on your local network to allow access from other devices.
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::tip Quick Tips
- Remove `/app/docstore/library` if you do not need server library import.
- Remove either `BASE_URL` or `AUTH_SECRET` to keep auth disabled.
- Set `API_BASE` to your reachable TTS server base URL.
:::
:::warning Port `8333` Exposure
Expose `8333` for direct browser presigned upload/download with embedded SeaweedFS.
If `8333` is not reachable from the browser, direct presigned access is unavailable. Uploads can still fall back to `/api/documents/blob/upload/fallback`, and document reads/downloads continue through `/api/documents/blob`.
:::
:::info Auth and Migrations
- Auth is enabled only when both `BASE_URL` and `AUTH_SECRET` are set.
- DB/storage migrations run automatically at container startup via the shared entrypoint.
:::
:::info Related Docs
- [Environment Variables](./reference/environment-variables)
- [Auth](./configure/auth)
- [Database](./configure/database)
- [Object / Blob Storage](./configure/object-blob-storage)
- [Migrations](./configure/migrations)
:::
## 2. Configure settings in the app UI
- Set TTS provider and model in Settings
- Set TTS API base URL and API key if needed
- Select the model voice from the voice dropdown
## 3. Update Docker image
Legacy image compatibility: `ghcr.io/richardr1126/openreader-webui:latest` remains available as an alias.
```bash
docker stop openreader || true && \
docker rm openreader || true && \
docker image rm ghcr.io/richardr1126/openreader:latest || true && \
docker pull ghcr.io/richardr1126/openreader:latest
```
:::tip
If you use a mounted volume for `/app/docstore`, your persisted data remains after image updates.

## Next.js server
- APIs: Route Handlers for sync, blob/content access, migrations, audiobook export, TTS/Whisper proxying
- State sync: request-based today (not realtime push updates)
- Authentication: [Better Auth](https://www.better-auth.com/) server handlers/adapters
- Metadata DB: [Drizzle ORM](https://orm.drizzle.team/) with SQLite (`better-sqlite3`) by default and optional Postgres (`pg`)
- App tables are manually maintained in Drizzle schema files
- Auth tables are auto-generated by the [Better Auth](https://www.better-auth.com/) CLI and migrated alongside app tables via Drizzle
- Blob storage: embedded [SeaweedFS](https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs) (`weed mini`) by default, or external S3-compatible storage via AWS SDK v3
- Audio/processing pipeline: OpenAI-compatible TTS providers, [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) for audiobook assembly, optional [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp) for word timestamps
## Tooling and testing
- ESLint
- TypeScript
- [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/) end-to-end tests
- Drizzle migration/generation scripts
