BackIssue

Docker app from industrious-affiliation1896's Repository

Overview

BackIssue is a self-hosted comic library manager. Track the comic series you want, download new issues automatically as they release, tag them with metadata, and keep everything organized on disk. ComicVine is the source of truth for every comic's identity; download sources (Usenet, torrents, and more) are added as plugins from an in-app catalog. On first run it walks you through creating an admin account and picking plugins. Unraid setup: map your comics library to the container (default /comics), then in BackIssue open Settings > Library and add /comics as a root folder.

Install BackIssue on Unraid in a few clicks.

Find BackIssue in Community Apps on your Unraid server, review the template, and click Install. Unraid handles the Docker app or plugin setup from the published template.
