Overview
Mylar3 is the automated comic book downloader and manager for the homelab. It
monitors comic series, searches for new issues via Usenet indexers (through NZBGet),
and organises downloaded CBZ/CBR files into the comics library on UnRAID.

Connection Method
Purpose
NZBGet
API (

media-network
Download client
Mylar3 connects directly to NZBGet rather than through Prowlarr. Indexers are
configured directly in Mylar3 settings.
Notes / Gotchas
Mylar3 uses ComicVine as its metadata source — a free API key from
comicvine.gamespot.com is required and stored in the Mylar3 config.
The 
/downloads path is shared with LazyLibrarian (both point to the books
completion directory). Ensure Mylar3's category in NZBGet is distinct to avoid
processing conflicts.
Mylar3's database (
mylar.db) stores the full comic watchlist and download
history. Back it up before upgrades.
