Komga: [QA] Disable Scan?

[gerroon]

Hi

I cant access the DIscord channel since it is blocked in the network, so I have to post it here.

Is it possible to disable the auto sccna and trigger scans only with some cron jobs or regular manual intervals?

The automatic scan is a cron job inside Komga, see here.

You can disable it by using the special value -.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to achieve here. Cron jobs is what is used now. Regular manual intervals is not very clear, since _manual_ means triggered by someone, and _regular_ would mean triggered by a scheduler.

What you can do is trigger it from outisde Komga, using the REST API. Check the demo's swagger.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I am glad that it is possible to do but I do not quite understand where I do change that value (am not a dev)? I am using the compose install.

I am ok with a cron job, I just wnt to change the frequency of it, I have alot of books in the libraries and the scan regularly hogs my computer. So i want something like every 8 hours maybe.

Do I define it like this in the compose file?

environment:
      - KOMGA_LIBRARIES_SCAN_DIRECTORY_EXCLUSIONS=#recycle,@eaDir
      -KOMGA_LIBRARIES_SCAN_CRON = 15 */8 * * *
      - JVM_OPTS=-Xmx2g -Xms2g

thanks

Every 8 hours would be 0 0 */8 * * ?
