# CBZOptimizer
CBZOptimizer is a Go-based tool designed to optimize CBZ (Comic Book Zip) and CBR (Comic Book RAR) files by converting images to a specified format and quality. This tool is useful for reducing the size of comic book archives while maintaining acceptable image quality.
**Note**: CBR files are supported as input but are always converted to CBZ format for output.
## Features
- Convert images within CBZ and CBR files to different formats (e.g., WebP).
- Support for multiple archive formats including CBZ and CBR (CBR files are converted to CBZ format).
- Adjust the quality of the converted images.
- Process multiple chapters in parallel.
- Option to override the original files (CBR files are converted to CBZ and original CBR is deleted).
- Watch a folder for new CBZ/CBR files and optimize them automatically.
- Set time limits for chapter conversion to avoid hanging on problematic files.
## Installation
### Download Binary
Download the latest release from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/belphemur/CBZOptimizer/releases).
### Docker
Pull the Docker image:
```sh
docker pull ghcr.io/belphemur/cbzoptimizer:latest
```
## Usage
### Command Line Interface
The tool provides CLI commands to optimize and watch CBZ/CBR files. Below are examples of how to use them:
#### Optimize Command
Optimize all CBZ/CBR files in a folder recursively:
```sh
cbzconverter optimize [folder] --quality 85 --parallelism 2 --override --format webp --split
```
With timeout to avoid hanging on problematic chapters:
```sh
cbzconverter optimize [folder] --timeout 10m --quality 85
```
Or with Docker:
```sh
docker run -v /path/to/comics:/comics ghcr.io/belphemur/cbzoptimizer:latest optimize /comics --quality 85 --parallelism 2 --override --format webp --split
```
#### Watch Command
Watch a folder for new CBZ/CBR files and optimize them automatically:
```sh
cbzconverter watch [folder] --quality 85 --override --format webp --split
```
Or with Docker:
```sh
docker run -v /path/to/comics:/comics ghcr.io/belphemur/cbzoptimizer:latest watch /comics --quality 85 --override --format webp --split
```
### Flags
- `--quality`, `-q`: Quality for conversion (0-100). Default is 85.
- `--parallelism`, `-n`: Number of chapters to convert in parallel. Default is 2.
- `--override`, `-o`: Override the original files. For CBZ files, overwrites the original. For CBR files, deletes the original CBR and creates a new CBZ. Default is false.
- `--split`, `-s`: Split long pages into smaller chunks. Default is false.
- `--format`, `-f`: Format to convert the images to (e.g., webp). Default is webp.
- `--timeout`, `-t`: Maximum time allowed for converting a single chapter (e.g., 30s, 5m, 1h). 0 means no timeout. Default is 0.
- `--log`, `-l`: Set log level; can be 'panic', 'fatal', 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug', or 'trace'. Default is info.
## Logging
CBZOptimizer uses structured logging with [zerolog](https://github.com/rs/zerolog) for consistent and performant logging output.
### Log Levels
You can control the verbosity of logging using either command-line flags or environment variables:
**Command Line:**
```sh
# Set log level to debug for detailed output
cbzconverter --log debug optimize [folder]
# Set log level to error for minimal output
cbzconverter --log error optimize [folder]
```
**Environment Variable:**
```sh
# Set log level via environment variable
LOG_LEVEL=debug cbzconverter optimize [folder]
```
**Docker:**
```sh
# Set log level via environment variable in Docker
docker run -e LOG_LEVEL=debug -v /path/to/comics:/comics ghcr.io/belphemur/cbzoptimizer:latest optimize /comics
```
### Available Log Levels
- `panic`: Logs panic level messages and above
- `fatal`: Logs fatal level messages and above
- `error`: Logs error level messages and above
- `warn`: Logs warning level messages and above
- `info`: Logs info level messages and above (default)
- `debug`: Logs debug level messages and above
- `trace`: Logs all messages including trace level
### Examples
```sh
# Default info level logging
cbzconverter optimize comics/
# Debug level for troubleshooting
cbzconverter --log debug optimize comics/
# Quiet operation (only errors and above)
cbzconverter --log error optimize comics/
# Using environment variable
LOG_LEVEL=warn cbzconverter optimize comics/
# Docker with debug logging
docker run -e LOG_LEVEL=debug -v /path/to/comics:/comics ghcr.io/belphemur/cbzoptimizer:latest optimize /comics
```
## Docker Image
The official Docker image is available at: `ghcr.io/belphemur/cbzoptimizer:latest`
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues:
1. Use `--log debug` for detailed logging output
2. Check that all required dependencies are installed
3. Ensure proper file permissions for input/output directories
4. For Docker usage, verify volume mounts are correct
