Watch the server or container logs for a line like [SETUP] Setup token: . Use that token to complete first-run setup. ### Why might I lose my library or settings in Docker? If you use the provided docker-compose.yml, edit the path values to point to real folders for comics and settings. Otherwise the container may store data in a temporary location. ### What causes Docker permission errors? Files can be owned by the wrong user when PUID and PGID do not match the owner of the mounted volumes. Run id on the host and set those values in docker-compose.yml. ### Can I import an existing comic collection or migrate from Mylar3? Yes. Comicarr can import an existing collection or migrate from Mylar3. ### Which metadata sources are supported for comics and manga? Comic imports use ComicVine, including imports from Metron search results. Manga-only libraries can use MangaDex or MyAnimeList, and MyAnimeList requires a client ID. ### How do I send the library to a comic reader? Comicarr provides OPDS feeds for readers such as Panels and Chunky. The relevant configuration is in config.ini. ## Alternatives - Readarr: Readarr is a retired ebook and audiobook collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users that monitored Really Simple Syndication (RSS)… - Sonarr: Sonarr, formerly NZBdrone, is a self-hosted TV series manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. - bazarr: Bazarr is a companion for Sonarr and Radarr that automatically searches for, downloads, and manages subtitles for movies and TV shows accor… - mylar3: Mylar3 is an automated comic book downloader that helps home media collectors manage libraries by monitoring watchlisted series and downloa… - radarr: Radarr is a self-hosted movie organizer and downloader that monitors releases, automates downloading and renaming, and stores movies in you… --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/253/comicarr), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
