✨ [REQUEST] Addon Komga

Paul-AUB commented 1 month ago

Checked

[X] If a new addon, I have checked on Google that such as addon doesn't already exists
[X] If a new feature, I have searched in the discussions & issues that it was not already covered

Which addon?

Komga is a media server for comics, mangas, BDs, magazines and eBooks, which doesn't rely on a forced folder structure. In many ways, it looks more like Plex or Jellyfin : you have an ad-hoc folder structure with all you books by category, and Komga scrap the metadata from the web to recognize it.

Compared to Calibre (for example), it's way simpler and efficient.

Docker image are publish on both DockerHub and ghcr.io as explained in their Docker documentation.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I started to used your very nice Calibre Web addon, but the importation of a large amount of comics, mangas and BDs is extremely long and fastidious with a Calibre database. Moreover, the data storage of Calibre is specific and this will not be improved. I can't rely on that, so I need to store my book twice : one with a "conventional structure" and one which is managed by Calibre.

Komga seems really more powerfull and future proof.

Describe the solution you'd like

Having a Komga addon :)

Hi, I don't have time to add new add-ons but you should look at the 2 no-config addons already dedicated to comics : codex and ubooquity. They work using the default file structure which was lne my key priorities. I do remember trying komga but too much dependencies to implement so I selected comixed.

I already had a look but they unfortunately aren't adapted to my needs. I will try to make Komga working through Portainer. Thanks for the quick answer !
