magazarr 0.1.8

Tiny magazine manager for Quasarr with OPDS output.

Magazarr is a small magazine-only companion for Quasarr.

It keeps a free-text magazine list, searches Quasarr for recent issues, sends chosen releases back to Quasarr for download, imports the largest PDF from completed JDownloader folders, and exposes the library through OPDS.

Magazarr automatically searches active titles every 60 minutes by default and checks completed downloads for import every 5 minutes by default. Set either interval to 0 to disable that background task.

Run

uv run magazarr

Open http://127.0.0.1:8090.

Docker

Local build:

uv build
mkdir -p docker/dist
cp dist/*.whl docker/dist/
docker build -t magazarr:local docker

Local run:

docker run --rm \
  -p 8090:8090 \
  -v "$PWD/config:/config" \
  -v "$PWD/library:/library" \
  -v "$PWD/output:/output" \
  magazarr:local

Compose template lives at docker/docker-compose.yml. Replace ghcr.io/your-github-user/magazarr:latest with your published image.

Required Settings

• Quasarr URL and API key.
• Completed package folders reported by Quasarr must be visible to Magazarr at the exact path returned in Quasarr history.
• Library directory for imported PDFs. Docker defaults to /library; local runs default to library.

Run Quasarr Locally For Testing

In a second terminal:

cd ~/PythonProjects/Quasarr
INTERNAL_ADDRESS=http://127.0.0.1:8080 uv run quasarr

Use the API key printed by Quasarr in Magazarr settings:

• Quasarr URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080
• Search category: 7000
• Download category: docs

Quasarr still needs working JDownloader credentials and at least one configured magazine-capable hostname before a real download can complete.

Quasarr Integration

Magazarr uses the Quasarr Newznab/SABnzbd shim:

• Search: GET /api?t=search&q=<title>&cat=7000&apikey=<key>
• Download: GET /api?mode=addurl&name=<quasarr download link>&cat=docs&apikey=<key>
• Import status: GET /api?mode=history&apikey=<key>

OPDS

OPDS root is:

http://127.0.0.1:8090/opds

Optional basic auth applies only to OPDS routes.

Imported PDF issue entries expose a cover image link. Magazarr renders page 1 of the PDF as a cached PNG on first cover request.
