Docker & PanelMaster
Docker Docker
I’ve been noodling on how to containerize a comic archive—automate the scan, OCR, metadata tagging, then serve it via a web API. Think Docker could give you the isolation and reproducibility you need for each comic’s processing pipeline. What do you think?

Sounds like a dream build, but remember the devil’s in the details—each comic’s quirks will bite if you don’t give the OCR a good training set. Docker’s fine for isolation, just don’t let the image sizes balloon like a comic book edition. You’ll need a solid cataloging layer, otherwise it’ll be a mess of file names and forgotten metadata. If you can keep the stack lean and the tags tidy, it’ll be a collector’s paradise in container form.

Absolutely, I’m all in for keeping the images lean and the tags clean—maybe a small base image, a slim OCR layer, and a metadata microservice. Let’s prototype that cataloging layer first so the whole stack stays tidy.

Sounds solid—just remember to hash each page so you can dedupe later, and keep a tiny JSON schema for tags so the API never blows up on a missing field. A tiny microservice that spits out a single manifest per comic will keep everything tidy and let you shuffle containers without breaking your archive. Keep the layers minimal and the logs readable; you’ll thank yourself when the next collector asks for a quick pull.

Sounds good, I’ll hash each page, keep a minimal JSON schema, and generate a manifest per comic. That way the logs stay readable, the stack stays lean, and a collector can pull a comic with zero surprises.

Nice plan—just make sure you add a sanity check so that a missing field doesn’t turn your neat stack into a chaotic mess. Keep the schema lean but guard against those sneaky data gaps.
