* Started with some basic plumbing with comic info parsing updating Series/Volume. * We can now get chapter title from comicInfo.xml * Hooked in the ability to store people into the chapter metadata. * Removed no longer used imports, fixed up some foreign key constraints on deleting series with person linked. * Refactored Summary out of the UI for Series into SeriesMetadata. Updated application to .net 6. There is a bug in metadata code for updating. * Removed the parallel.ForEach with a normal foreach which lets us use async. For I/O heavy code, shouldn't change much. * Refactored scan code to only check extensions with comic info, fixed a bug on scan events not using correct method name, removed summary field (still buggy) * Fixed a bug where on cancelling a metadata request in modal, underlying button would get stuck in a disabled state. * Changed how metadata selects the first volume to read summary info from. It will now select the first non-special volume rather than Volume 1. * More debugging and found more bugs to fix * Redid all the migrations as one single one. Fixed a bug with GetChapterInfo returning null when ChapterMetadata didn't exist for that Chapter. Fixed an issue with mapper failing on GetChapterMetadata. Started work on adding people and a design for people. * Fixed a bug where checking if file modified now takes into account if file has been processed at least once. Introduced a bug in saving people to series. * Just made code compilable again * Fixed up code. Now people for series and chapters add correctly without any db issues. * Things are working, but I'm not happy with how the management of Person is. I need to take into account that 1 person needs to map to an image and role is arbitrary. * Started adding UI code to showcase chapter metadata * Updated workflow to be .NET 6 * WIP of updating card detail to show the information more clearly and without so many if statements * Removed ChatperMetadata and store on the Chapter itself. Much easier to use and less joins. * Implemented Genre on SeriesMetadata level * Genres and People are now removed from Series level if they are no longer on comicInfo * PeopleHelper is done with unit tests. Everything is working. * Unit tests in place for Genre Helper * Starting on CacheHelper * Finished tests for ShouldUpdateCoverImage. Fixed and added tests in ArchiveService/ScannerService. * CacheHelper is fully tested * Some DI cleanup * Scanner Service now calls GetComicInfo for books. Added ability to update Series Sort name from metadata files (mainly epub as comicinfo doesn't have a field) * Forgot to move a line of code * SortName now populates from metadata (epub only, ComicInfo has no tags) * Cards now show the chapter title name if it's set on hover, else will default back to title. * Fixed a major issue with how MangaFiles were being updated with LastModified, which messed up our logic for avoiding refreshes. * Woohoo, more tests and some refactors to be able to test more services wtih mock filesystem. Fixed an issue where SortName was getting set as first chapter, but the Series was in a group. * Refactored the MangaFile creation code into the DbFactory where we also setup the first LastModified update. * Has file changed bug is now finally fixed * Remove dead genres, refactor genre to use title instead of name. * Refactored out a directory from ShouldUpdateCoverImage() to keep the code clean * Unit tests for ComicInfo on BookService. * Refactored series detail into it's own component * Series-detail now received refresh metadata events to refresh what's on screen * Removed references to Artist on PersonRole as it has no metadata mapping * Security audit * Fixed a benchmark * Updated JWT Token generator to use new methods in .NET 6 * Updated all the docker and build commands to use net6.0 * Commented out sonar scan since it's not setup for net6.0 yet. * Removed some directives * Removed my test db

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, 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.
