## 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.
