[2.6] Release Notes

Upgrade Notes from Older Versions

Starting from version 2.6, AutoBangumi (AB) configuration has moved from environment variables to config.json. Note the following before upgrading.

Environment Variable Migration

Old environment variables are automatically converted to config.json on the first startup after upgrading to 2.6. The generated config.json is placed in the /app/config folder. Once you've mapped the /app/config folder, old environment variables no longer affect AB's operation. You can delete config.json to regenerate from environment variables.

Container Volume Mapping

After version 2.6, the following folders need to be mapped:

• /app/config: Configuration folder containing config.json
• /app/data: Data folder containing bangumi.json, etc.

Data Files

Due to major updates, we don't recommend using old data files. AB will automatically generate a new bangumi.json in /app/data.

Don't worry — QB won't re-download previously downloaded anime.

Subsequent Configuration Changes

AB can now edit configuration directly in the WebUI. After editing, restart the container for changes to take effect.

How to Upgrade

Docker Compose

You can use your existing docker-compose.yml file to upgrade:

docker compose stop autobangumi
docker compose pull autobangumi

Then modify docker-compose.yml to add volume mappings:

version: "3.8"

services:
  autobangumi:
    image: estrellaxd/auto_bangumi:latest
    container_name: autobangumi
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Asia/Shanghai
    volumes:
      - /path/to/config:/app/config
      - /path/to/data:/app/data
    networks:
      - bridge
    dns:
      - 8.8.8.8

Then start AB:

docker compose up -d autobangumi

Portainer

In Portainer, modify the volume mappings and click Recreate to complete the upgrade.

What to do if the upgrade causes issues

Since configurations may vary, upgrades might cause the program to fail. Delete all previous data and generated configuration files, then restart the container and reconfigure in the WebUI.

New Features

Configuration Method Change

After v2.6, program configuration has moved from Docker environment variables to config.json. The new WebUI also provides a web-based configuration editor. Access the AB URL and find Settings in the sidebar to modify configuration. Restart the container after editing.

Custom Reverse Proxy URL and AB as Proxy Relay

To handle situations where Mikan Project is inaccessible, AB provides three approaches:

1. HTTP and SOCKS Proxy

   This feature existed in older versions. After upgrading to 2.6, just check the proxy configuration in the WebUI to access Mikan Project normally.

   However, qBittorrent still can't access Mikan's RSS and torrent URLs directly, so you need to add a proxy in qBittorrent as well. See #198 for details.

2. Custom Reverse Proxy URL

   Version 2.6 added a custom_url option for custom reverse proxy URLs. Set it to your properly configured reverse proxy URL. AB will use this custom URL to access Mikan Project, and QB can download normally.

3. AB as Proxy Relay

   After configuring a proxy in AB, AB can serve as a local proxy relay (currently only for RSS-related functions). Set custom_url to http://abhost:abport where abhost is AB's IP and abport is AB's port. AB will push its own address to qBittorrent, which will use AB as a proxy to access Mikan Project.

   Note: If you haven't set up a reverse proxy for AB with Nginx or similar, include http:// to ensure proper operation.

Important Notes

If AB and QB are in the same container, don't use 127.0.0.1 or localhost as they can't communicate this way. If on the same network, use container name addressing, e.g., http://autobangumi:7892.

You can also use the Docker gateway address, e.g., http://172.17.0.1:7892.

If on different hosts, use the host machine's IP address.

Collection and Folder Renaming

AB can now rename files within collections and folders, moving media files back to the root directory. Note that AB still relies on the save path to determine season and episode information, so place collection files according to AB's standard.

After version 2.6.4, AB can rename subtitles within folders (feature still being refined). Collections and subtitles default to pn format renaming; adjustment options are not yet available.

Standard Path

/downloads/Bangumi/Title/Season 1/xxx

Push Notifications

AB can now send rename completion notifications via Telegram and ServerChan.

In the WebUI, enable push notifications and fill in the required parameters.

• Telegram requires Bot Token and Chat ID. Refer to various tutorials for obtaining these.
• ServerChan requires a Token. Refer to various tutorials for obtaining this.
