LANraragi is an open source server for the archival of comics/manga, running on Mojolicious and Redis. You can easily store your comics in archive format. It supports different formats like: (zip/rar/targz/lzma/7z/xz/cbz/cbr/pdf). In this step by step guide I will show you how to install LANraragi on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
