* Added the ability to see when a scan started at. * filename based hashing now uses last write time as well to ensure if the underlying file changes it sends a new copy * Fixed a bug where we would reset dark mode on the book reader to dark mode if our site was on dark mode, despite user setting light mode. * Added a single feed entry when some sort of collection, reading list, etc doesn't have anything in it. * Allow + in the normalization to prevent some series that use + to denote the sequel from not getting merged together.

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.
