What Komga actually does
Komga is a self-hosted media server designed to organise and stream comics, mangas, and bande dessinées. It provides a web-based reader and a browser interface, alongside an API and OPDS support for integration with third-party reading clients.
Best fit: It is a practical choice if you maintain a large digital collection of graphic novels and want a dedicated browser interface to read them across devices.
Worth knowing: The codebase relies on Java and is maintained at a steady pace, but you should expect typical self-hosted operational maintenance such as handling library metadata updates and permissions.
Deployment notes
As a Java application packaged in Docker, it typically requires persistent storage volumes mounted for your media libraries and configuration data, alongside a reverse proxy for HTTPS termination.
