Common questions

How do I connect the Anna's Archive provider to Pullbox on Unraid?

Put both containers on a user-defined Docker network named pullbox and register the provider hostname Pullbox-Provider-Annas-Archive and port 8780 in Pullbox. If a shared custom network is not used, set the Fallback API Port to an unused host port such as 8781 and register your Unraid server's private LAN address.

What token setup does Pullbox expect for this provider?

Generate a unique token of at least 32 characters and enter the same token in both the provider and under Pullbox Settings, Direct Downloads. Never expose this provider API to the internet.

Does the provider store library data or require separate backups?

The provider runs as an independent stateless service and owns source-specific discovery and normalization only. Pullbox remains responsible for matching, artifact selection, credentials, downloads, validation, post-processing, history, and library state.

When is an Anna's Archive member secret required?

The member secret is required only by the resolve operation for opt-in member fast-download link resolution. It is not required for basic metadata discovery.
