comicrack-docker's Introduction

ComicRack - Docker

This is an attempt to dockerize the now abandonded ComicRack application. I didn't want to spin up a dedicated windows desktop - licensing and patching an entire OS for a never-to-be updated w32 app seems overkill.

Unfortunately, there's an entire other challenge for getting Wine, KasmVNC, and a severly outdated .NET application to work in a docker container.

I've enlisted the help of the linuxserver.io KasmVNC base image to handle the VNC portion, then installed WineHD on top of that. With that working, I turned my attention to the ComicRack portion by creating a rw folder mount to /config/.wine32, installing ComicRack, then copying the wine prefix to the /root/config/.wine32 directory to be copied over at new container build time.

comicrack-docker's Issues

Weird UI Issues when attempting to resize the ComicRack Window

As noted in the docs, there are weird UI issues when attempting to resize the application window. This needs to be investigated and fixed (possibly by moving to a different VNC product?

Version Control/Tagged Releases

With some changes - there's a chance that things will get broken - it would be best to have tags (both in the repo and in Docker Hub) to allow users to decide when/if they want to introduce broken upgrades.

Feature Request - Apply all the fixes from the maforget/ComicRackKeygen repo

https://github.com/maforget/ComicRackKeygen/releases/ has many fixes to ComicRack, including rar5 support and allowing wireless syncing with the (now required) hacked Android client.

It's simply replacing the existing files from the final CR release with the ones in the fix pack (v2 would be preferrable, everything needed is part of the release).

Feature Request: MariaDB Password

Currently, MariaDB Credentials are hardcoded in he burned in ComicRack.ini. It would be better to allow the user to specify credentials for both MariaDB and ComicRack via environment variables.

This would require some additional scripting/logic in the /root/etc/cont-init.d/30-config script.
