This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Komga on Kali Linux. Komga is an open-source comic book server that allows users to organize and manage their comic book collection.
To install Komga on Kali Linux, follow the steps outlined below:
Before installing Komga, you need to install Java. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
After the installation is complete, verify the installation by running:
java --version
If Java is installed correctly, you should see the version of Java installed on your system.
Komga requires a PostgreSQL database to run. You can install PostgreSQL by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install postgresql
After the installation is complete, you can start the PostgreSQL server by running:
sudo systemctl start postgresql
Next, you need to create a user and database for Komga. You can do this by running the following commands:
sudo -u postgres psql
create user komga with encrypted password 'password';
create database komga owner komga;
\q
To install Komga, you first need to download the package file from the Komga website. You can do this by running the following command:
wget https://github.com/gotson/komga/releases/download/v0.105.1/komga-0.105.1.jar
Once you have downloaded the package file, you can start Komga by running the following command:
java -Dspring.profiles.active=prod -jar komga-0.105.1.jar
You should see the Komga output in your terminal, indicating that the server is running.
Next, you need to configure Komga by editing the configuration file. You can do this by running the following command:
nano ~/.komga/application.properties
In the configuration file, you need to set the following properties:
spring.datasource.username = komga
spring.datasource.password = password
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/komga
server.port = 8080
server.servlet.context-path = /komga
komga.libraries.directory = /path/to/your/comicbooks
After configuring Komga, save the file and exit the editor.
You can access Komga by opening your web browser and navigating to:
http://localhost:8080/komga
You should be able to log in to Komga with the username and password you configured in the previous step.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Komga on Kali Linux. You can now organize and manage your comic book collection with Komga.
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!
