Komga

Komga is a self-hosted media server focused on comics, manga, and ebooks. It organizes files into libraries and series, provides a responsive web UI to browse and read, and exposes catalogs through OPDS for compatible reader apps and devices.

Key Features

• Library management for comics/ebooks (e.g., CBZ/CBR, PDF, EPUB) with automatic scanning and series grouping
• Web-based reader optimized for comics/manga (page navigation, reading modes)
• Metadata management and editing, including reading status and progress tracking
• OPDS support to browse and download from external reader apps (e.g., Kobo/OPDS clients)
• User management with per-library access control and multiple users
• Collections/reading lists and browsing by series, authors, tags, and more
• REST API for integrations and automation
• Docker images and straightforward deployment options

Use Cases

• Host a private manga/comics library for multiple users with a browser-based reader
• Provide an OPDS catalog to e-readers and mobile reader apps while keeping files on your server
• Organize large comic archives, fix metadata, and build curated reading lists/collections

Limitations and Considerations

• Focused on comics/manga/ebooks; it is not a general-purpose video/music media server
• Feature parity and compatibility can vary across OPDS clients depending on device/app support

Komga is well-suited for anyone maintaining a local comics/manga collection who wants a modern library UI, a solid web reader, and OPDS access for external reading apps. Its API and user/library permissions make it practical for personal, family, or small community setups.
