### Usage

```text
docker create \
    --name=mylar \
    -v <path to data>:/config \
    -v <downloads-folder>:/downloads \
    -v <comics-folder>:/comics \
    -e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid> \
    -e TZ=<timezone> \
    -p 8090:8090 \
    linuxserver/mylar
```

### Parameters

`The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.`

* `-p 8090` - the port\(s\)
* `-v /config` - where mylar should store config files
* `-v /downloads` - map to your downloads folder
* `-v /comics` - map to your comics folder
* `-e PGID` for GroupID - see below for explanation
* `-e PUID` for UserID - see below for explanation
* `-e TZ` for setting timezone information, eg Europe/London

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do `docker exec -it mylar /bin/bash`.

#### User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes \(`-v` flags\) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance `PUID=1001` and `PGID=1001`. To find yours use `id user` as below:

```text
  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
```

### Setting up the application

The web ui for settings etc, is on `<your-ip>:8090` For more detailed setup refer [mylar](https://github.com/evilhero/mylar).

### Info

* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime `docker logs -f mylar`.
