* Readme refactored to be more clean and clear, taking inspiration from wiki.js's readme. * Initial backend for Collections and basic metadata implemented. * More build flavors for Raspberry Pi users and updated Install since we don't need users to set their own JWT Token Key. Update a typo in appsettings.json file for prod. * Fixed #224. Sort before getting a First?Last() chatper * The rough ability to add and get series metadata and tags. * Fix a bug on getting metadata for when it doesn't exist. * Fixed a bug where flattening directories with some unique filenames could cause reading order of images to be out of order. * Added a seed code to ensure all series have SeriesMetdata * Ensure all instances of opening an epub is using "using" so we don't lock the file. When we have a malformed html file, log the issues and inform the user we can't open the file. * Book reader now handles @Import "" statements in CSS and inlines the css into css file that references them. This allows for them to be scoped. In addition, if the html or body tag had classes, we now send back a single div with those classes. * Fixed GetSeriesDtoForCollectionAsync which was not properly returning series * Implemented cover image for collection tag. Fixed an issue in metadata update call. * Add check for user access when resolving series for a collection tag. When asking for all tags, if the user is not an admin, only give promotoed tags back. * Implemented updateTag api * Implemented the ability to update series the tags have access to. * Cleanup, sorting, and null check * More sorting changes * Ensure we can delete tags when editing a series tags * Fix order of update to make sure a tag is properly deleted * Code smells
Kavita
Kavita is a fast, feature rich, cross platform reading server. Built with a focus for manga, and the goal of being a full solution for all your reading needs. Setup your own server and share your reading collection with your friends and family!
Goals:
- Serve up Manga/Webtoons/Comics (cbr, cbz, zip/rar, raw images) and Books (epub, mobi, azw, djvu, pdf)
- First class responsive readers that work great on any device
- Provide a dark theme for web app
- Provide hooks into metadata providers to fetch metadata for Comics, Manga, and Books
- Metadata should allow for collections, want to read integration from 3rd party services, genres.
- Ability to manage users, access, and ratings
- Ability to sync ratings and reviews to external services
- And so much more...
How to contribute
- Ensure you've cloned Kavita-webui. You should have Projects/Kavita and Projects/Kavita-webui
- In Kavita-webui, run ng serve. This will start the webserver on localhost:4200
- Run API project in Kavita, this will start the backend on localhost:5000
Deploy local build
- Run build.sh and pass the Runtime Identifier for your OS or just build.sh for all supported RIDs.
How to install
- Unzip the archive for your target OS
- Place in a directory that is writable. If on windows, do not place in Program Files
- 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.
