Komga is a popular open-source comic book server that allows users to organize their comic book collections and read them from any device. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps to install Komga on NetBSD.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your NetBSD system:
Install the required packages:
# pkgin install git nodejs yarn
Clone the Komga repository using Git:
$ git clone https://github.com/gotson/komga.git
Navigate to the cloned directory:
$ cd komga
Build and install Komga:
$ ./gradlew clean build
$ ./gradlew installDist
This will create a directory named build/install/komga containing the necessary files to run Komga.
Configure Komga:
Create a new database by running the create.sql script located in the scripts folder:
$ mysql -u root -p < scripts/create.sql
Configure the application by creating the application.properties file in the build/install/komga/config directory:
$ cp application.properties.sample config/application.properties
$ nano config/application.properties
Update the file with relevant information for your setup.
Start Komga:
$ ./build/install/komga/bin/komga
This will start the Komga server. You can access it by visiting http://localhost:8080 from a web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Komga on your NetBSD system. You can now organize and read your comic book collection using Komga. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the Komga documentation or seek help from the Komga community.
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!
