This one is a nifty little comic collection management tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve started getting into comics lately, and with that comes (of course) the issue of sorting it all. After a bit of digging (and some frustrations with the tool known as ‘Mylar’), I came across ‘Kapowarr’. I compiled it from source, had a play, and thought “yeah, I like where this is going”. It is… very <\/em>new. Features are being added at a rapid pace, and bugs are being fixed similarly quickly. It’s made by ‘mrcas’ – a dev over on github who writes some very nice Python (which I’m okay-ish at, not great).<\/p>\n\n\n\n It runs in Docker, gives you a web UI to add\/manage content, and generally makes managing it a bit easier. I found it, thought it was awesome, reached out, and now help build the documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find the Kapowarr project on github in the Casvt\/Kapowarr <\/a>repository, with the docs hosted on Github pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s intended to fit alongside the ‘*arr’ suite of apps – Sonarr<\/a>, Radarr<\/a>, Lidarr, etc. If you’re familiar with those, then the UI is pretty familiar. Simply add a comic volume after you’ve set it up, and let it pull the content in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once I had Kapowarr running, I needed to set up a nice way to consume the comics (well, not necessarily needed<\/em>, but it’s definitely a quality-of-life improvement). For this, I settled on Komga <\/a>– a nice browser-accessible comic library tool. Again, runs in docker – and can be set to periodically scan folders so that things just get auto-added once Kapowarr has done it’s thing. Super clean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This one is a nifty little comic collection management tool.
