Komga is an open-source media server that allows you to read and stream comics, books, and magazines online. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Komga on OpenBSD.
Before starting, make sure you have root access to your system.
First, update your system to the latest version:
$ sudo sysupgrade -r
Install the required packages for Komga:
$ sudo pkg_add openjdk-11.0.11p9
Download and extract the latest version of Komga:
$ cd /tmp
$ ftp https://dl.komga.org/v0.107.0/komga-0.107.0_linux_x64.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf komga-0.107.0_linux_x64.tar.gz
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/komga
$ sudo mv komga-0.107.0/* /opt/komga/
Create a new user for Komga to run as:
sudo useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin komga
Change the owner of the Komga installation directory to the newly created user:
$ sudo chown -R komga: /opt/komga
Create a new configuration file:
$ sudo cp /opt/komga/application-prod.yml /opt/komga/application.yml
Edit the configuration file and set the necessary parameters:
$ sudo nano /opt/komga/application.yml
Update your server's IP address or hostname:
server:
address: your-ip-address
To start the Komga service, run the following command:
$ sudo /opt/komga/bin/komga
Verify that the service is running correctly:
$ sudo ps aux | grep komga
You should see a result similar to the following:
$ komga 22099 2.5 0.2 32888 18844 ? Sl 00:00 0:00 java -server -Xmx768m -XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError -Dkomga.home=/opt/komga -Dspring.config.additional-location=file:/opt/komga/application.yml -jar /opt/komga/lib/komga.jar
Komga should now be running on port 8080. Open your web browser and navigate to:
http://your-ip-address:8080
You should see the Komga login page. Enter your desired login credentials and click on "Sign In".
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Komga on OpenBSD.
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!
