Migration

Migrate your existing Mylar3 library and configuration to Comicarr.

Comicarr includes a built-in migration tool that transfers your Mylar3 database and configuration into Comicarr. The process is non-destructive -- your original Mylar3 data is never modified.

What Transfers

The migration copies all 16 database tables from mylar.db:

TableContents
comicsMonitored series and their metadata
issuesIndividual issue records
annualsAnnual issue tracking

ref32p32P tracker reference data
oneoffhistoryOne-off search history
jobhistoryBackground job execution log

In addition to the database tables:

  • config.ini settings are mapped to their Comicarr equivalents
  • Encrypted credentials (passwords, API keys) are decrypted from Mylar3's format and re-encrypted with Comicarr's master key

What Doesn't Transfer

  • Custom post-processing scripts (these must be reconfigured manually)
  • Manual file organization performed outside the Mylar3 database
  • Any third-party plugins or extensions
