Overview

emptyMylar3 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.

Access

Type URL Notes Internal https://mylar.home.local LAN access via Step-CA TLS

No external route — internal management only.

Volumes / Bind Mounts

Host Path Container Path Purpose /home/jeeves/docker/arr/mylar/config /config Mylar3 database and settings /media/jeeves/1TB_Vol2/downloads/usenet/complete/books /downloads Completed downloads (Ceph OSD, shared with books) /mnt/Multimedia/Books/Comics /comics Comics library (NFS from UnRAID)

Integration Points

Service Connection Method Purpose NZBGet API (http://nzbget:6789) via 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.
