Need help troubleshooting a docker setup

Post by vhpPgjB9 »

I used Mylar before on windows, but want to set it up on my Synology NAS using docker.
The first thing I am trying to get working is scanning my existing collection, but it's not finding anything, even though I know I have files in there. I even confirmed it from the terminal inside the container. Here's what the log looks like

Code: Select all

2022-03-26 11:30:33	INFO	However, 0 out of the 0 files are in a cbz format, which may contain metadata.
2022-03-26 11:30:33	INFO	I have not been able to determine what 0 files are
2022-03-26 11:30:33	INFO	I have successfully discovered & parsed a total of 1 files....analyzing now
2022-03-26 11:30:33	INFO	Scanning comic directory: /comics
I am docker newbie, so I am sure I messed up something very simple in my config. I'd appreciate help on this.

Here's the snippet from docker-compose

Code: Select all

# mylar      
  mylar3:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mylar3
    container_name: mylar3
    environment:
      - PUID=${PUID}
      - PGID=${PGID}
    volumes:
      - ${DOCKERCONFDIR}/mylar3:/config
      - ${DOCKERSTORAGEDIR}/media/comics:/comics
      - ${DOCKERSTORAGEDIR}/usenet/completed:/downloads
    ports:
      - 8090:8090
    restart: unless-stopped   
I have the following valued defined in my .env file

Code: Select all

PUID=1027
PGID=100
DOCKERCONFDIR=/volume1/docker/usenet/appdata
DOCKERSTORAGEDIR=/volume1/data

Finally, all my comics are stored under /volume1/data/media/comics

I appreciate your help in advance.

If you're performing an Automated Manual Run, then I believe you need to have the series on your watchlist list.

If you're doing Scan Comic Library, make sure you have Auto Add New Series checked.

Are your comics cbr /cbz or are they something else?

The user running Mylar has to have access to your /comics directory and everything beneath it.

Also information level logs aren't very helpful. Turn on verbose logging, do a scan, generate a carepackage and then paste the carepackage link in here.

Check the wiki:

Well, I am a dunce. :oops:

I had my folders, but inside they are all empty. I have no idea what happened to the collection, but the reason it's not finding anything is because there was nothing to find.
