Reading The Library
As is stated elsewhere, ComiXed is not a comic reader. But you CAN use your iPad or other device to read your library using OPDS.
ComiXed has been tested with the following list of comic reader applications:
To connect your device to your ComiXed server, you need to know:
- the hostname or IP address of the computer running ComiXed,
- the port used by ComiXed on that computer,
- the email address you use to log into ComiXed, and
- the password you use to log into ComiXed.
By default the port is going to be 7171. If you are running ComiXed using Docker then you will need to use the port that's redirected to the container.
If the computer hosting ComiXed has a firewall, you will also need to open this port to allow your device to get through the firewall.
The URL you will use when configuring your read app is:
http://$HOSTNAME:$PORT/opds
where $HOSTNAME is the hostname or IP address and $POST is the port.
The top level of the OPDS feed will be a link to the entire library.
Below this level are links to viewing comics grouped by the following features:
- the publisher for the comics,
- the comic series name,
- the characters in the issues,
- the teams in the issues,
- the locations in the issues, or
- the stories in the issues.
So, for example, to read see the list of all comics containing The Batman, you would navigate to Library -> Characters -> Batman. The comics listed would be all that are tagged as having The Batman as a character (see Scraping for more details on tagging).
