Install ThreeTwo! on unRAID with the docker-compose plugin

Notes#

This guide goes over ThreeTwo! installation on unRAID using the docker-compose manager plugin. Currently, this is the recommended approach for unRAID users.

With the help of this plugin, you are able to pull the entire ThreeTwo! docker-compose stack up, down with the click of a button. It abstracts away a lot of complexity associated with writing out commands in the console.

That said, the plugin is still in beta, so you may experience strange behavior.

Pre-requisites#

First things first, let's go over what the pre-requisites are:

  1. The docker-compose configuration for ThreeTwo! now resides in its own repo here: https://github.com/rishighan/threetwo-docker-compose You will be using this as reference.

  2. A working AirDC++ install is necessary for DC++ searching/downloading to work. You can install it through the unRAID via the CA store or via a docker

  3. comics and userdata folders.

    1. The comics folder must be the folder AirDC++ downloads comics to.
    2. Create the userdata folder under /mnt/user/appdata/threetwo

  4. To get ComicVine to work for metadata scraping and other functions, you must have a ComicVine API key. You can get one here. Metadata scraping will not work unless you supply an API key.

  5. Open an unRAID terminal and create an .env file:

    1. Run this command: nano /boot/config/plugins/compose.manager/projects/ThreeTwo/.env
    2. Paste this into the file, replacing anything within <> with actual values:
    UNDERLYING_HOSTNAME=<UNRAID_HOSTNAME>COMICS_DIRECTORY=<PATH_TO_COMICS_DIRECTORY>USERDATA_DIRECTORY=/mnt/user/appdata/threetwo/userdata
COMICVINE_API_KEY=<YOUR_COMICVINE_API_KEY>

Installation#

  1. Install the docker-compose manager plugin from the unRAID CA store. After installation, you can find the plugin UI under the Docker tab.

  2. Create a new stack, give it a name.

  3. Hover over the gear next to it and click on Edit Stack.

  4. Copy-paste this into the textarea:
