Warning

This is not a complete recipe - it's a component of the autopirate "uber-recipe", but has been split into its own page to reduce complexity.

Mylar is a tool for downloading and managing digital comic books.

Inclusion into AutoPirate

To include Mylar in your AutoPirate stack, include something like the following example in your autopirate.yml docker-compose v3 stack definition file:

mylar:
  image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mylar3:latest
  env_file : /var/data/config/autopirate/mylar.env
  volumes:
   - /var/data/autopirate/mylar:/config
   - /var/data/media:/media
  networks:
  - internal
  deploy:
    labels:
      # traefik
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.docker.network=traefik_public

      # traefikv1
      - traefik.frontend.rule=Host:mylar.example.com
      - traefik.port=8090
      - traefik.frontend.auth.forward.address=http://traefik-forward-auth:4181
      - traefik.frontend.auth.forward.authResponseHeaders=X-Forwarded-User
      - traefik.frontend.auth.forward.trustForwardHeader=true        

      # traefikv2
      - "traefik.http.routers.mylar.rule=Host(`mylar.example.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.mylar.entrypoints=https"
      - "traefik.http.services.mylar.loadbalancer.server.port=8090"
      - "traefik.http.routers.mylar.middlewares=forward-auth"

Fast-track with premix! 🚀

I automatically and instantly share (with my sponsors) a private "premix" git repository, which includes necessary docker-compose and env files for all published recipes. This means that sponsors can launch any recipe with just a git pull and a docker stack deploy 👍.

🚀 Update: Premix now includes an ansible playbook, so that sponsors can deploy an entire stack + recipes, with a single ansible command! (more here)

Continue through the list of tools below, adding whichever tools your want to use, and finishing with the end section:

Chef's notes 📓


  1. In many cases, tools will integrate with each other. I.e., Radarr needs to talk to SABnzbd and NZBHydra, Ombi needs to talk to Radarr, etc. Since each tool runs within the stack under its own name, just refer to each tool by name (i.e. "radarr"), and docker swarm will resolve the name to the appropriate container. You can identify the tool-specific port by looking at the docker-compose service definition.

[^2]. If you intend to configure Mylar to perform its own NZB searches and push the hits to a downloader such as SABnzbd, then in addition to configuring the connection to SAB with host, port and api key, you will need to set the parameter host_return parameter to the fully qualified Mylar address (e.g. http://mylar:8090).
