Komga is an open-source comic and ebook server that allows users to manage and read their digital content on a web interface. In this tutorial, we'll be covering the steps needed to install Komga on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
Komga requires Java 8 or later to be installed on the system. To install Java on Void Linux, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S openjdk8
Git is required to download the Komga source code. To install Git on Void Linux, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S git
Now that we have Git installed, we can clone the Komga repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jakob-grabner/Komga.git
This will create a directory named Komga in your current working directory.
Next, we need to install Node.js and NPM to run the Komga front-end. To install Node.js and NPM on Void Linux, run the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -S nodejs
sudo xbps-install -S npm
To build Komga, change into the Komga directory and run the following commands:
npm install
npm run build
This will install all the necessary dependencies and build the front-end. Once the build is complete, we can start the backend server.
To start the Komga server, navigate to the backend directory and run the following commands:
./gradlew bootJar
java -jar build/libs/komga.jar
This will start the Komga server on http://localhost:8080.
Now that the Komga server is running, we can access the web interface by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in a web browser.
That's it! You've successfully installed and set up Komga on Void Linux.
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!
