Is MyMangaDB actively maintained?
MyMangaDB is under active development: 92 commits landed over the last 11 months, averaging roughly 7 commits a month in the most recent quarter.
The most recent tagged release, v2.8.3, shipped within the last month — a current, installable version exists today.
Note that MyMangaDB depends on a third-party service to work fully. It is self-hosted, but not self-contained: if that external service changes its terms or disappears, your instance is affected.
MyMangaDB ranks #13 of 16 tracked document management - e-books projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.
What MyMangaDB actually does
MyMangaDB is a self-hosted manager designed for organising physical or digital manga collections. It features automated metadata retrieval, options to import existing lists from MyAnimeList, and generated statistics detailing your reading habits.
Best fit: It suits comic and manga enthusiasts who want a dedicated, local database to track their reading progress and library inventory rather than using generic spreadsheet tools.
Worth knowing: Given the modest repository activity and niche feature set, development pace may be slow and troubleshooting uncommon edge cases will likely fall on you.
Deployment notes
Since it relies on Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent volume mounts to retain your database and cover art, alongside a reverse proxy if you want secure external access.
