# Added - Added: Ability to check for updates (stable-only) and be notified with a changelog. This is a first pass implementation. - Added: Ability to use SignalR within Kavita (websockets) ===================================== * (some debug code present). Implemented the ability to check and log if the server is up to date or not. * Fixed a bug for dark mode where anchor buttons wouldn't have the correct font color. Suppress filter/sort button if there is no filters to show. Debug: Active indicators for users currently on your server. Refactored code to send update notification only to admins. Admins now get a popup where they can open the Github release (docker users can just close). * Fixed an issue where getLibraryNames on first load would call for as many cards there was on the screen. Now we call it much earlier and the data is cached faster. * Fixed a dark mode bug from previous commit * Release notes is now rendered markdown * Implemented the ability to check for an update ad-hoc. Response will come via websocket to all admins. * Fixed a missing padding * Cleanup, added some temp code to carousel * Cleaned up old stat stuff from dev config and added debug only flow for checking for update * Misc cleanup * Added readonly to one variable * Fixed In Progress not showing for all series due to pagination bug * Fixed the In progress API returning back series that had another users progress on them. Added SplitQuery which speeds up query significantly. * SplitQuery in GetRecentlyAdded for a speed increase on API. Fixed the logic on VersionUpdaterService to properly send on non-dev systems. Disable the check button once it's triggered once since the API does a task, so it can't return anything. * Cleaned up the admin actions to be more friendly on mobile. * Cleaned up the message as we wait for SingalR to notify the user * more textual changes * Code smells

Demo
If you want to try out Kavita, we have a demo up: https://demo.kavitareader.com/
Username: demouser
Password: Demouser64
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, do not copy appsettings.json from the new version over. It will override your TokenKey and you will have to reauthenticate on your devices.
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/data \
--restart unless-stopped \
-d kizaing/kavita:latest
You can also run it via the docker-compose file:
version: '3.9'
services:
kavita:
image: kizaing/kavita:latest
volumes:
- ./manga:/manga
- ./data:/kavita/data
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. There is also the :alpine tag if you want a smaller image, but it is only available for x64 systems.
