Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • Start Mylar3 from its folder Run Mylar.py with your Python command, such as python Mylar.py or python3 Mylar.py, from the Mylar program directory. If you use the wrong folder or Python version, the app may not start at all. source
  • Keep web port 8090 reachable Mylar3's examples use port 8090 for the web interface and API (commands other programs can send). If you want to open it in a browser or use those API calls, that port needs to be reachable. source
  • Use detailed logging if unsure If the first start looks wrong or you can't tell why something failed, run python Mylar.py -v to enable verbose (extra-detailed) logging. It helps spot missing settings or failed steps before you dig deeper. source

Common questions

Where should I report bugs versus request features?

Use GitHub Issues for bug reports and support, and Discussions for feature requests. Discord is available for live conversation.

Why won’t Mylar3 start when I run it from a clone?

Start Mylar.py from the Mylar program directory and use the matching Python command, such as python or python3. Using the wrong folder or Python version can prevent startup.

What port should I expose or proxy for the Mylar3 web interface?

Examples use port 8090 for the web interface and API. That port needs to be reachable if you want browser access or API calls.

How can I debug a failed first start?

Run the application with verbose logging using python Mylar.py -v. This extra detail helps spot missing settings or failed steps.

What common provider or post-processing issues are covered in the official FAQ?

It covers DDL not finding an available comic, unexpected results when year removal is enabled, and series names that differ from Mylar’s data.
