Any suggestions for a selfhosted comic book collection manager? I.e. a database of the physical comics that I own.

    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.
