## 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?

### 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.
