manga-dlp/docker

Docker container of manga-dlp

Quick start

the pdf creation only works on amd64 images, as it unfortunately is incompatible with arm64.

# with docker-compose
curl -O docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olofvndrhr/manga-dlp/master/docker/docker-compose.yml
# adjust settings to your needs
docker-compose up -d

# with docker run
docker run -v ./downloads:/app/downloads -v ./mangas.txt:/app/mangas.txt olofvndrhr/manga-dlp

Change UID/GID

The default UID and GID are 4444.

You can change the UID and GID of the container user simply with:

# docker-compose.yml
environment:
  - PUID=<userid>
  - PGID=<groupid>

docker run -e PUID=<userid> -e PGID=<groupid>

Run commands in container

You can simply use the docker exec command to run the scripts like normal.

docker exec <container name> python3 manga-dlp.py <options>

Run your own schedule

The default config runs manga-dlp.py once a day at 03:00 and fetches every chapter of the mangas listed in the file mangas.txt in the root directory of this repo.

To use your own schedule you need to mount (override) the default crontab or add new ones to the cron directory.

# docker-compose.yml
volumes:
  - ./crontab:/etc/cron.d/01_manga-dlp # overwrites the default one
  - ./crontab2:/etc/cron.d/02_something # adds a new one

docker run -v ./crontab:/etc/cron.d/01_manga-dlp # overwrites the default one
docker run -v ./crontab2:/etc/cron.d/02_something # adds a new one

Add mangas to mangas.txt

If you use the default crontab you still need to add some mangas to mangas.txt. This is done almost identical to adding your own cron schedule. If you use a custom cron schedule you need to mount the file you specified with --read.

# docker-compose.yml
volumes:
  - ./mangas.txt:/app/mangas.txt

docker run -v ./mangas.txt:/app/mangas.txt

Change download directory

Per default as in the script, it downloads everything to "downloads" in the scripts root directory. This data does not persist with container recreation, so you need to mount it. This is already done in the quick start section. If you want to change the path of the host, simply change ./media/mangas/ to a path of your choice.

# docker-compose.yml
volumes:
  - ./media/mangas/:/app/downloads

docker run -v ./media/mangas/:/app/downloads
