Comic Book/ eBook Docker Recommendations

fbeye · Sep 29th 2022

Hello

So I have a lot or comic books and ebooks on my server but want to access them remotely. I know the books are .pdf but brainfart I think comics are .cbr or cbz?.

I see several threads about things but not really getting a good answer. Is there a docker for both these formats in one or should separate dockers serve ebooks and comics separately?

Just curious about any of your successes.

I use KOMGA.

Kavita works well.

Well I do not know WTF I am doing wrong. Installed, loads but nothing I do will get it to see the #1 .CBR Comics or #2 .PDF Books I have on the drive.

as says previosly, post your *.yaml file to revise, but normally your problem is refered to owner & permision of existing files (aka:comics), you need to know who is the owner of this files and add to the group used on your container to be able to read comics.

Well I do not even know what a .yaml is and I have never had to revise one; Plex, Transmission on same OMV work just fine and have no issues accessing.

I tried Komga, Kavita and even Calibre, CalibreWeb. I get a variation of issues. On Calibre I get it to see stuff locally but can't access remotely. I don't know. I will get you guys this info tonight and I appreciate your help.
