## Description

CLU is a Docker-based web app for managing digital comic libraries. It works directly with your existing comic folders and provides bulk conversion of CBR and PDF files to CBZ format, a full in-browser CBZ editor for reordering pages and cropping covers, and metadata writing to ComicInfo.xml from sources like Metron, ComicVine, GCD, AniList, and MangaDex. It tracks weekly releases with a pull list, includes a built-in web reader that remembers your position, supports reading lists with CBL import, and monitors folders to automatically process new downloads. Download automation covers GetComics, Usenet via SABnzbd or NZBGet with Newznab indexers, and DC++ through AirDC++. Multi-user setups get role-based permissions (Reader, Clerk, Store Owner) with per-folder access control. A token-authenticated REST API and OPDS feeds let companion apps and comic readers connect, and it can sync reading history from Komga. Licensed under GPL-3.0 with active development.
