Any suggestions for a selfhosted comic book collection manager? I.e. a database of the physical comics that I own.
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

I use Komga + Komf for digitals but seems like you could do simply with mylar without a download agent. Might need to create a dummy file for each issue you own to change status to owned. Been ages since I have used so not sure.

That was my first idea too, but last I checked it didn’t scrape much other than English editions (using Comicvine AFAIR) and had no way of manually adding stuff it can’t scrape.
Yeah. Komga + Komf seems like overkill for your use case too. Komf would definitely get around the limitation of english editions only.
Readarr can track comics/manga too but unless you’re interested in only indexing by author I have found it less than ideal.
Tachidesk or sorayomi or whatever they are calling it now may be an option? Like the other tools I have mentioned it’s primary function is for piracy but I don’t see why you couldn’t just add sources and add series to library without downloading. Again would need dummy files to track owned vs unowned.
