YacReaderLibraryServer dockerized

Sorry I meant to say I tried the following:

YACReaderLibraryServer add-library Comics /Media/Comics

It creates the library "Comics" but there is nothing inside.

Is not "add-library", is "create-library". If you have an existing library, then you can add it to the libraries list using "add-library".

If you have any way to Access directly to your comics then it is better to create the library using YACReaderLibrary in a pc or mac, it will be much faster.

Thanks for your work creating this docker container! I've been running it on my UnRaid server for a few months now and it's worked great! I use it to serve a comic library that I created and manage using the YACReader desktop program so that I can sync files to the YACReader app on my iPad.

However, for some reason a couple of weeks ago the YACReader Docker stopped recognizing my existing comic library. I've tried completely deleting the docker (and it's config files) and reinstalling, and also tried replacing a previously backed up version of the configs - neither fixed this issue.

I know you're not running this docker on UnRaid, but do you have any idea what the issue might be?

If it's any use, this is what my container's log files look like:

Any luck getting 9.5.0 running in a Docker container? I've been having the same problem with my own image using 9.x, i.e. libraries not recognized, and I'm unable to re-create the libraries.

I dont know about you all, but running on a raspberry pi 3,
I've had to modify the Dockerfile and rebuild.

as pull does not work at all on my pi3 running stretch

ENV LC_ALL=C.UTF8

ENTRYPOINT ["YACReaderLibraryServer","start"]

run:
docker build . -t yacserver

After build:

docker run -d -p <port you want to use>:8080 -v <location of comics>:/comics --name=yacserver yacserver
docker exec yacserver YACReaderLibraryServer create-library <desired server name> /comics
(or you can use a precreated library as recommended...)

I added this to my crontab:
0 7 * * * docker exec yacserver YACReaderLibraryServer update-library /comics

As I add comics fairly regularly...

My main issue with this... is I for some reason can't figure out why remote reading history is not kept at all.
It is a sick feature that I would love to have since my library is a lot larger than my 16gb ipad mini i use for most of my reading... I want to say this may be a permissions thing... but I'm not as much of a developer as I am a systems administrator...

Has anyone successfully dockerized yacreader and gotten the reading history to work?

Otherwise, 9.5 is an amazing upgrade to what was before...

It makes sense that pulling the prebuilt image doesn't work as this was probably build for the AMD64 architecture, not the Raspberry's ARM. So you have to rebuild.

If that requires modifications, it could be a good idea to report it on github.com/josetesan/yacreaderlibrary-server-docker so the docker file can be improved. The docker image is a community effort after all an our involvement as YACReader devs is minimal ;)

Does the problem "remote reading history is not kept at all" happen with a non-dockerized yacreaderlibraryserver too?

docker N00b here. Any step by step instructions for creating in UnRAID? I have the docker created, and assigned a port plus pointed to comic folder, but when I run, it doesn't list any libraries nor are there options to create. I'm also new to YACReader.

Hi,
I've installed Yacreader for Docker and its container on my Nas Synology but then I'm stuck as I don't get how to get things to work.

I assume I need to use the Terminal but not really quite sure.

I hope you can help me since I'm new to this docker thing

I don't understand what the purpose of this is. Will this let me use YacReader on Android?

Can someone make a YT video showing the setup process? It'd be even better if someone could show how to setup it up using Synology's docker.

Still desperately looking for a ComicRack alternative on Android (Ubooquity is not robust enough for me).

Thanks.

No, you can't use YACReader in android yet, you'll have to wait until an Android app is available.
