* Added a tooltip to inform user that format and collection filter selections do not only show for the selected library. * Refactored a lot of code around when we update chapter cover images. Applied an optimization for when we re-calculate volume/series covers, such that it only occurs when the first chapter's image updates. * Updated code to ensure only lastmodified gets refreshed in metadata since it always follows a scan * Optimized how metadata is populated on the series. Instead of re-reading the comicInfos, instead I read the data from the underlying chapter entities. This reduces N additional reads AND enables the ability in the future to show/edit chapter level metadata. * Spelling mistake * Fixed a concurency issue by not selecting Genres from DB. Added a test for long paths. * Fixed a bug in filter where collection tag wasn't populating on load * Cleaned up the logic for changelog to better compare against the installed verison. For nightly users, show the last stable as installed. * Removed some demo code * SplitQuery to allow loading tags much faster for series metadata load.

Setup
Non-Docker
- Unzip the archive for your target OS
- Place in a directory that is writable. If on windows, do not place in Program Files
- Linux users must ensure the directory & kavita.db is writable by Kavita (might require starting server once)
- Run Kavita
- If you are updating, copy everything over into install location. All Kavita data is stored in config/, so nothing will be overwritten.
- Open localhost:5000 and setup your account and libraries in the UI.
Docker
Running your Kavita server in docker is super easy! Barely an inconvenience. You can run it with this command:
docker run --name kavita -p 5000:5000 \
-v /your/manga/directory:/manga \
-v /kavita/data/directory:/kavita/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
-d kizaing/kavita:latest
You can also run it via the docker-compose file:
version: '3'
services:
kavita:
image: kizaing/kavita:latest
container_name: kavita
volumes:
- ./manga:/manga
- ./config:/kavita/config
ports:
- "5000:5000"
restart: unless-stopped
Note: Kavita is under heavy development and is being updated all the time, so the tag for current builds is :nightly. The :latest tag will be the latest stable release.
