⁠linuxserver/gazee⁠

THIS IMAGE IS DEPRECATED, IT WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE UPDATES. Gazee⁠ is a WebApp Comic Reader for your favorite digital comics. Reach and read your comic library from any web connected device with a modern web browser.

⁠Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here⁠ and our announcement here⁠.

Simply pulling linuxserver/gazee should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

⁠Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

⁠docker

docker create \
  --name=gazee \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -p 4242:4242 \
  -v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
  -v path to comics:/comics \
  -v path to mylar data:/mylar \
  -v path to SSL certs:/certs \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/gazee

⁠docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  gazee:
    image: linuxserver/gazee
    container_name: gazee
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/config:/config
      - path to comics:/comics
      - path to mylar data:/mylar
      - path to SSL certs:/certs
    ports:
      - 4242:4242
    restart: unless-stopped

⁠Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate external:internal respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

⁠User / Group Identifiers

When using 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 any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

⁠Application Setup

Webui can be found at your-ip:4242

Default username and password for the web interface:

• Username: admin
• Password: gazee

Click the gear icon to go to the settings page.

Change the default admin password or add a new admin and remove the admin user altogether.

Comic path should be set to /comics

Optional Mylar DB path should be set to /mylar

Optional path for certificates and keys should be set to /certs

After you update the settings, Gazee will restart and begin an intial scan of your comic library.

Happy Reading!

⁠Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it gazee /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f gazee
• container version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' gazee
• image version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/gazee

⁠Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup⁠ section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

⁠Via Docker Run/Create

• Update the image: docker pull linuxserver/gazee
• Stop the running container: docker stop gazee
• Delete the container: docker rm gazee
• Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
• Start the new container: docker start gazee
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

⁠Via Docker Compose

• Update all images: docker-compose pull
  • or update a single image: docker-compose pull gazee
• Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
  • or update a single container: docker-compose up -d gazee
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

⁠Via Watchtower auto-updater (especially useful if you don't remember the original parameters)

• Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:

  docker run --rm \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  containrrr/watchtower \
  --run-once gazee
  

  Copy
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

⁠Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-gazee.git
cd docker-gazee
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t linuxserver/gazee:latest .

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset

Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
