## Installation
|
||||
## Download
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker
|
||||
Get the app from our [releases page](https://github.com/gotson/komga/releases) or through [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/gotson/komga).
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to run Komga is via Docker. Please refer to the ([instructions on how to use the image](https://hub.docker.com/r/gotson/komga)).
|
||||
## Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Jar file
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively you can run it from the fat `jar` file. You can find them in the [releases](https://github.com/gotson/komga/releases) section.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to run Komga, use the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
java -jar komga-x.y.z.jar
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you **need** to have a valid `application.yml` configuration file (or environment variables) for Komga to run properly, read on to the next section to find out more.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Komga relies heavily on [Spring Boot's configuration](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html), leveraging `profiles` and configuration `properties`.
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to configure is either via environment variables (a good fit for `docker-compose`) or by using an `application.yml` file located in the same folder as the `jar` file.
|
||||
|
||||
You can check sample `application.yml` files for [Windows](./doc/sample-configuration/windows/application.yml) and [Unix/Linux](./doc/sample-configuration/unix/application.yml).
|
||||
|
||||
Each configuration key can have a different format depending if it's from the environment variable, or from the `application.yml` file. In the following section I will provide both format in the form `ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE` / `application-property`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mandatory configuration
|
||||
|
||||
In order to make Komga run, you need to specify some mandatory configuration keys (unless you use Docker, in which case defaults are setup):
|
||||
|
||||
- `SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE` / `spring.profiles.active`: `prod` - this will enable the database management and upgrades for new versions.
|
||||
- `SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL` / `spring.datasource.url`: the path of the database file. For Docker I use `jdbc:h2:/config/database.h2`, where `/config/database.h2` is the actual file inside the docker container. You can customize this part if running without docker.
|
||||
|
||||
### Optional configuration
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use some optional configuration keys:
|
||||
|
||||
- `KOMGA_LIBRARIES_SCAN_CRON` / `komga.libraries-scan-cron`: a [Spring cron expression](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/scheduling/support/CronSequenceGenerator.html) for libraries periodic rescans. `0 0 * * * ?` will rescan every hour. `0 */15 * * * ?` will rescan every 15 minutes. Defaults to `0 */15 * * * ?` in `prod` profile.
|
||||
- `KOMGA_THREADS_ANALYZER` / `komga.threads.analyzer`: the number of worker threads used for analyzing books. Defaults to `2`. You can experiment to get better performance.
|
||||
- `KOMGA_LIBRARIES_SCAN_DIRECTORY_EXCLUSIONS` / `komga.libraries-scan-directory-exclusions`: a list of patterns to exclude directories from the scan. If the full path contains any of the patterns, the directory will be ignored. If using the environment variable form use a comma-separated list.
|
||||
- `KOMGA_FILESYSTEM_SCANNER_FORCE_DIRECTORY_MODIFIED_TIME` / `komga.filesystem-scanner-force-directory-modified-time`: if set to `true`, it will force the last modified time of a directory as the maximum from its own last modified time and the last modified time from all the books inside the directory. This should be used only if your filesystem does not update the last modified time of a directory when files inside it are modified (Google Drive for instance).
|
||||
- `KOMGA_REMEMBERME_KEY` / `komga.remember-me.key`: a unique key. If set, the remember-me auto-login feature will be activated, and will generate a cookie with encoded login information to perform auto-login.
|
||||
- `KOMGA_REMEMBERME_VALIDITY` / `komga.remember-me.validity`: the validity, in seconds, of the generated remember-me cookie. Defaults to 2 weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
## What does it do?
|
||||
|
||||
Komga will scan your libraries for directories containing supported files (at the moment `cbz`, `zip`, `cbr`, `rar` and `pdf`):
|
||||
|
||||
- each folder containing comic books will be made as a `Series`
|
||||
- each comic book file inside a `Series` will be made as a `Book`
|
||||
|
||||
It works with sub-folders too, so if you have a structure like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Comics/
|
||||
├── Private Eye/
|
||||
│ ├── Volume 1.cbz
|
||||
│ └── Volume 2.cbz
|
||||
└── One Shot.cbz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Komga will generate:
|
||||
|
||||
- a `Series` called _Comics_, containing a `Book` called _One Shot_
|
||||
- a `Series` called _Private Eye_, containing two `Book`s called _Volume 1_ and _Volume 2_
|
||||
|
||||
On rescans, Komga will update Series and Books, add new ones, and remove the ones for which files don't exist anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
Then it will _analyze_ each book, which consist of indexing pages (images in the archive), and generating a thumbnail.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security
|
||||
|
||||
### User accounts
|
||||
|
||||
At startup, if no user account exists in database, Komga will generate an initial administrator account with a random password, and will output the login and password in the logs:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
2019-10-15 17:15:31.483 INFO 18808 --- [ restartedMain] o.g.k.i.scheduler.InitialUserController : Initial user created. Login: admin@example.org, Password: 2Qf8l85xOB8o
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
:exclamation: It is strongly advised to create your own account, and delete the generated account!
|
||||
|
||||
### HTTPS
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to open your Komga server outside your local network, it is strongly advised to secure it with `https` (especially due to the use of http basic authentication).
|
||||
|
||||
Spring Boot supports `https` out of the box, but you will have to configure it, and `https` is most useful only with valid certificates (not self-signed), which most people don't readily have available.
|
||||
|
||||
I recommend using [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) as a reverse proxy, as it supports the automatic generation of [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) certificates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Clients
|
||||
|
||||
### Tachiyomi
|
||||
|
||||
Komga has an official extension for [Tachiyomi](https://github.com/inorichi/tachiyomi), available from within Tachiyomi's extension menu.
|
||||
The extension is configurable, you need to specify the `server address`, `username`, and `password`.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### OPDS readers
|
||||
|
||||
Komga should work with any OPDS reader, unfortunately most readers badly implement the OPDS protocol :disappointed:.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a list of reader applications I have tested:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
| iOS | [Chunky Comic Reader](http://chunkyreader.com/) | :heavy_check_mark: | No | **Yes** |
