Komga is an open-source comic book server designed to let you read digital comics on various devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Komga on Debian Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation process, ensure that you have the following requirements:
Always update your system to avoid any compatibility issues with the software. Use the following commands to update the Debian system:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Komga is a Java-based application, so Java must be installed on the Debian machine. You can install Java with the following commands:
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk
Once installed, verify the Java installation with the following command:
java -version
sudo mkdir /opt/komga
cd /opt/komga
sudo wget https://github.com/gotson/komga/releases/download/v0.107.1/komga-0.107.1.jar
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/komga.service

Replace <yourusername> with the name of the user you want to run the Komga service.

Once you have successfully installed and started the Komga service, you can access the web interface by typing the server's IP address and port 8080 in your web browser. For example, http://192.168.1.100:8080.
Log in to the admin portal with username admin and password admin.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Komga on your Debian Latest machine. You can now upload your comic books and start reading them by accessing the web interface.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
