SOLUTION 1 (Integration Bee Style)
Let $x=-\ln(1-u)$. Then
$$
\begin{align}
\mathcal{I}&:= \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln\left(2e^{x}-1\right)}{e^{x}-1}dx \\
&= \int_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln\left(2e^{-\ln\left(1-u\right)}-1\right)}{e^{-\ln\left(1-u\right)}-1}\cdot\frac{1}{1-u}du \\
&= 2\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\operatorname{artanh}u}{u}du \\
&= 2\int_{0}^{1}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{u^{2n}}{2n+1}du \\
&= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{2}{2n+1}\int_{0}^{1}u^{2n}du \\
&= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{2}{\left(2n+1\right)^{2}} \\
&= 2\left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^{2}}-\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{4k^{2}}\right) \\
&= 2\left(\frac{\pi^{2}}{6}-\frac{\pi^{2}}{24}\right) \\
&= \frac{\pi^{2}}{4}\,.\\
\end{align}
$$
We finish with
$$

$$
and we're done!
SOLUTION 2 (Contour Integration)
Here is another solution that doesn't use a series evaluation, but uses Euclidean geometry and contour integrals.
We do the same substitution as the previous solution. So
$$
\begin{align}
\mathcal{I} &:= \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln\left(2e^{x}-1\right)}{e^{x}-1}dx \\
\overset{x\,\mapsto\,-\ln(1-x)}{=}&\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln\left(2e^{-\ln\left(1-x\right)}-1\right)}{e^{-\ln\left(1-x\right)}-1}\cdot\frac{1}{1-x}dx \\
&= 2\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\operatorname{artanh}x}{x}dx \\
&\overset{\clubsuit}{=} \int_{-1}^{1}\frac{\operatorname{artanh}x}{x}dx \\
\end{align}
$$
where at $\clubsuit$ we use the fact that $\displaystyle \frac{\operatorname{artanh} x}{x}$ is even.
Next, we define a holomorphic function $f: \mathbb{C}\,\setminus ((-\infty,-1] \cup [1,\infty)) \to \mathbb{C}$ where $\displaystyle z \mapsto \frac{\operatorname{artanh}z}{z}$. This function employs the usual principal branch, specifically $\displaystyle\operatorname{Arg}\left(\frac{1+z}{1-z}\right) \in (-\pi, \pi]$. Additionally, this function's domain includes $z = 0$ because that element is a removable singularity. One can prove this by redefining $\operatorname{artanh}(z)$ as its Maclaurin series and making it analytic in a neighborhood of $z=0$. This removes the need for some circular indent around that point.
Next, we define a counterclockwise contour $\mathcal{C} = [r-1,1-r] \cup \gamma_1 \cup \Gamma \cup \gamma_{-1}$ where
$$
\begin{align}
\gamma_1 &:= \left\{1-re^{-it}: t\in \left[0,\arcsin\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-r^{2}}}{2}\right)\right]\right\} \\
\Gamma &:= \left\{e^{it}: t \in \left[\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right),\pi-\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)\right]\right\} \\
\gamma_{-1} &:= \left\{re^{-it}-1: t \in \left[-\arcsin\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-r^{2}}}{2}\right),0\right]\right\}\\
\end{align}
$$
with the restriction $0 < r \ll 1$.
Here is a visual using the standard domain coloring with shading.

(IDK why my PC misaligns that "color break", or however you call it, on the left side. Must be a compiling glitch🤦♂️)
I'll briefly explain how we can come up with these subsets of the contour and skip the messy algebra and geometry.
(1) We find the intersections of the circles $x^2+y^2=1$, $(x-1)^2+y^2=r^2$, and $(x+1)^2+y^2=r^2$. They are $\left(\frac{r^{2}}{2}-1,\frac{r}{2}\sqrt{4-r^{2}}\right)$, $\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2},\frac{r}{2}\sqrt{4-r^{2}}\right)$, $\left(\frac{r^{2}}{2}-1,-\frac{r}{2}\sqrt{4-r^{2}}\right)$, and $\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2},-\frac{r}{2}\sqrt{4-r^{2}}\right)$. Only the first two are relevant.
(2) To find how many radians we need to connect $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_{-1}$ to $\Gamma$, we construct four right triangles such that their top vertices touch where the contours should intersect.
(3) We assign each triangle a variable, say $\theta$ or something, and solve for each variable via trigonometry. E.G. one of the triangles on the far left can have a $\theta$ next to the point $z=-1$, and we find that the amount of radians needed to connect $\gamma_{-1}$ and $\Gamma$ is $\displaystyle \theta = \arcsin\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-r^{2}}}{2}\right)$ obtained from $\displaystyle \sin(\theta) = \frac{\frac{r}{2}\sqrt{4-r^{2}}}{r}$.
Here is a visual of what's happening.

To convince myself I didn't make some silly algebra mistake somewhere, I programmed a manual animation of how the contour behaves as each radius $r \to 0^+$. You can view it here. In that link, when you drag the $r$ slider, the contour maintains its shape as a closed contour along with the right triangles.
Getting that contour construction business out of the way, we express the contour integral over $\mathcal{C}$ as
$$
\oint_{\mathcal{C}} f = \int_{r-1}^{1-r}f + \int_{\gamma_1}f + \int_{\Gamma}f + \int_{\gamma_{-1}}f \,.
$$
We recover $\mathcal{I}$ by equating the real part on both sides and then applying $r \to 0^+$ on both sides as follows:
$$
\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re\oint_{\mathcal{C}} f = \mathcal{I} + \lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re\int_{\gamma_1}f + \lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re\int_{\Gamma}f + \lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re\int_{\gamma_{-1}}f \,.
$$
To evaluate $\displaystyle \lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re\int_{\gamma_1}f$, we'll prove that the modulus of $\displaystyle \Re\int_{\gamma_{-1}}f$ goes to $0$ as $r \to 0^+$.
Proof. Let $\displaystyle z \in \left\{re^{-it}-1: t \in \left[-\arcsin\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-r^{2}}}{2}\right),0\right]\right\}$ and bound $|f|$ like this:
$$
\begin{align}
|f| &= \left|\frac{\operatorname{artanh}z}{z}\right| \\
&\leq \frac{1}{2\left|z\right|}\left(\left|\ln\left|\frac{1+z}{1-z}\right|\right|+\left|i\operatorname{Arg}\left(\frac{1+z}{1-z}\right)\right|\right) \\
&\overset{z\,\in\,\gamma_{-1}}{=} \frac{1}{2\left|re^{-it}-1\right|}\left(\left|\ln\left|\frac{1+re^{-it}-1}{1-re^{-it}+1}\right|\right|+\left|\operatorname{Arg}\left(\frac{1+re^{-it}-1}{1-re^{-it}+1}\right)\right|\right) \\
&= \frac{1}{2\left|re^{-it}-1\right|}\left(\left|\ln\left|\frac{re^{-it}}{2-re^{-it}}\right|\right|+\left|\operatorname{Arg}\left(\frac{re^{-it}}{2-re^{-it}}\right)\right|\right) \\
&\leq \frac{1}{2\left(1-r\right)}\left(\ln\sqrt{r^{2}\sin^{2}t+\left(2-r\cos t\right)^{2}}-\ln r+\pi\right)\,. \\
\end{align}
$$
Note that the arc length of $\gamma_{-1}$ is $\displaystyle r \arcsin\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-r^{2}}}{2}\right)$, obtained from the set-builder notation of $\gamma_{-1}$ and the usual arc length formula for circles.
Using these two results, we use the Estimation Lemma and get
$$
0 \leq \left|\Re \int_{\gamma_{-1}}f\right| \leq \left|\int_{\gamma_{-1}}f\right| \leq \frac{1}{2\left(1-r\right)}\left(\ln\sqrt{r^{2}\sin^{2}t+\left(2-r\cos t\right)^{2}}-\ln r+\pi\right)\cdot r\arcsin\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-r^{2}}}{2}\right)\,. \\
$$
Taking $r \to 0^+$ on the upper bound, we get
$$
\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\frac{1}{2\left(1-r\right)}\left(\ln\sqrt{r^{2}\sin^{2}t+\left(2-r\cos t\right)^{2}}-\ln r+\pi\right)\cdot r\arcsin\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-r^{2}}}{2}\right) = 0\,.
$$
By the Squeeze Theorem, we get
$$
\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\left|\Re \int_{\gamma_{-1}}f\right| = 0\,.
$$
This leads to
$$
\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re \int_{\gamma_{-1}}f = 0
$$
and we're done with the integral evaluation! Q.E.D.
Similarly, we can prove that
$$\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re\int_{\gamma_1}f = 0$$
which I'll leave as an exercise (More like I'm too lazy to type the proof :P).
Next, we evaluate the contour integral over $\Gamma$ as follows. Let $\displaystyle z \in \left\{e^{it}: t \in \left[\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right),\pi-\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)\right]\right\}$. Then
$$
\begin{align}
\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+} \Re \int_{\Gamma}f &\overset{z\,\in\,\Gamma}{=} \lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re \int_{\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)}^{\pi-\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)}\frac{\operatorname{artanh}\left(e^{it}\right)}{e^{it}}\cdot ie^{it}dt \\
&= -\frac{1}{2}\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+} \Im \int_{\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)}^{\pi-\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)}\left(\ln\left|\frac{1+e^{it}}{1-e^{it}}\right|+i\operatorname{Arg}\left(\frac{1+e^{it}}{1-e^{it}}\right)\right)dt \\
&= -\frac{1}{2}\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\int_{\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)}^{\pi-\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)}\operatorname{Arg}\left(i\cot\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)\right)dt \\
&= -\frac{1}{2}\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\int_{\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)}^{\pi-\arccos\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{2}\right)}\frac{\pi}{2}dt \\
&= -\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{\pi}{2}dt \\
&= -\frac{\pi^{2}}{4} \,.
\end{align}
$$
For $\displaystyle \oint_{\mathcal{C}}f$, it equals $0$ by Cauchy's Integral Theorem.
Gathering all the results together, we have
$$
\require{cancel}\cancelto{0}{\oint_{\mathcal{C}}f} = \mathcal{I} + \cancelto{0}{\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re\int_{\gamma_1}f} -\frac{\pi^{2}}{4} + \cancelto{0}{\lim_{r\,\to\,0^+}\Re\int_{\gamma_{-1}}f}\,.
$$
We finally conclude with
$$
\bbox[#f2ebe6,border: 5px inset#765341,10px]{\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln\left(2e^{x}-1\right)}{e^{x}-1}dx=\frac{\pi^{2}}{4}}
$$
and we're done!
Solution 3 (Incomplete)
Let $\displaystyle x \mapsto \ln\left(\frac{e^{x}+1}{2}\right)$. Then
$$
\begin{align}
\mathcal{I} &:= \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln\left(2e^{x}-1\right)}{e^{x}-1}dx \\
&\overset{x\,\mapsto\,\ln\left(\frac{e^{x}+1}{2}\right)}{=} \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\ln\left(2e^{\ln\left(\frac{e^{x}+1}{2}\right)}-1\right)}{e^{\ln\left(\frac{e^{x}+1}{2}\right)}-1}\cdot\frac{e^{x}}{e^{x}+1}dx \\
&= \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{2xe^{x}}{e^{2x}-1}dx \\
&= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{xe^{x}}{e^{2x}-1}dx \\
&= \frac{1}{2}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}x\operatorname{csch}xdx\,. \\
\end{align}
$$
Define a holomorphic function $f: \mathbb{C} \,\setminus (\mathbb{Z}\setminus \left\{0\right\}) \to \mathbb{C}$ where $z \mapsto z \operatorname{csch} z$. Here is a visual down below.
