Manga collections tend to get trapped on a single phone; Suwayomi moves the library, downloads, and reading progress onto a server you run, so every browser and device sees the same shelf. In the browser, a built-in reader handles single page, double page, continuous vertical, continuous horizontal, and webtoon layouts, adding image filters, custom keybinds, auto scrolling, and separate desktop and mobile views. Content comes from Mihon (Tachiyomi) extensions, which can be searched, browsed, and sorted into categories, with custom extension stores loaded from JSON or Protobuf indexes. Downloads save chapters as CBZ archives for offline reading, and the server checks the library for new chapters every 12 hours by default, fetching them automatically if you allow it. Progress follows you through MyAnimeList, AniList, and MangaUpdates, a Suwayomi extension and tracker for Mihon, SyncYomi servers, and KOReader. E-reader apps connect over OPDS feeds, scheduled Mihon-compatible backups protect the library, and FlareSolverr or Byparr support handles Cloudflare-protected sources. Public instances can be locked down with basic authentication, a simple login page, or JWT-based UI login, and a PostgreSQL backend, still in beta, can replace the default file store.

Manga, comics, ebooks, and light novels get a streaming-service-style home in Kavita - a fast, cross-platform reading server for the DRM-free collection you share with family and friends. It natively serves CBZ, CBR, CB7, ZIP/RAR/7z archives, raw images, EPUB, and PDF, with hand-crafted web readers per format: webtoon scrolling, single and dual-page spreads with advanced caching for the comic reader, and a book reader with adjustable fonts, spacing, margins, color themes, and column modes. Reading progress tracks per user, so everyone resumes exactly where they stopped on any device. Metadata parses from filenames, ComicInfo.xml, and EPUB fields, feeding index-backed search, smart filters, collections, reading lists with CBL import, and Want to Read queues. Role-based user management covers age restrictions, per-library access, and OIDC authentication. An OPDS feed connects third-party clients - Panels on iOS, Librera on Android, KOReader on e-ink devices - and a comprehensive REST API supports custom integrations. EPUB annotation and highlight support, custom theming, and full localization round it out. Built with .NET and Angular, it handles 50,000+ file libraries without strain; optional Kavita+ adds AniList scrobbling, recommendations, and external metadata.

What Jellyfin is for video, Komga is for comics, manga, BDs, magazines, and eBooks: point it at folders of CBZ, CBR, CBT, PDF, and EPUB files and it becomes a proper library with cover art, embedded metadata import, and per-user reading progress. The responsive web reader handles multiple reading modes - left-to-right for western comics, right-to-left for manga, webtoon scrolling - while collections and read lists organize crossovers and story arcs, with ComicRack .cbl read list import for existing curation. Its openness is the real differentiator: OPDS v1.2 and v2.0 feeds serve virtually every reader app (Panels, Moon+ Reader, Mihon/Tachiyomi, KyBook), with OpenSearch and page-streaming extensions so mobile apps fetch pages on demand instead of whole archives. E-ink support is built in, not bolted on - Kobo devices sync directly against Komga instead of Kobo's servers, with two-way read progress, on-the-fly KEPUB conversion via Kepubify, and optional proxying so official Kobo purchases still work; KOReader sync covers everything else. Multi-user management brings per-library access control, age restrictions, and label restrictions for family setups. Housekeeping tools detect duplicate files and duplicate pages, and a REST API feeds a healthy ecosystem of community scripts. Runs from a single Docker container with embedded SQLite.

Uchiyomi is the manga server that also does the fetching, so your library keeps itself up to date while you just read. Follow a series once and new chapters download automatically from MangaDex, from sites you add by URL, or through installable Mihon extensions, with a release radar estimating when the next chapter is likely to land. The reader is built for webtoons first: continuous scrolling flows straight into the next chapter, wide pages split cleanly, borders crop away, and credit pages collapse so you reach the story faster. Your existing CBZ, CBR, PDF, and image files join downloaded series in one searchable library with covers, progress, filters, and smart lists you can share with the household. A health screen hunts down chapter gaps, short or corrupt downloads, duplicates, and failing sources, and Fix Everything works through the repairs on demand or nightly. Reading stats draw a year heat map of your habits, top series, and reading time, while Moments let you star favorite panels with notes. Each household member gets their own account, progress, libraries, and age limits, with two-factor sign-in and offline downloads that keep favorites ready on your phone. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MPL-2.0 licensed.

Manga readers use KamiYomu to build a private, self-hosted library: it fetches chapters from the websites they already follow, archives them locally, and serves everything back through a clean web reader on any device. The discovery flow runs on Crawler Agents, small plugins that teach KamiYomu how a particular source site lists series, chapters, and pages, so searching and fetching metadata happens inside the same interface as reading. Downloads land in a structured local archive, and reading picks up where you left off with history, filters for your library, and weekly views that surface new chapters and fresh releases. When a series is complete, export it as CBZ, PDF, or ZIP and take the files anywhere, no account or cloud library involved. Your e-reader and phone apps join through the built-in OPDS catalog, the same standard used by Moon+ Reader and KyBook, while a Swagger-documented API exposes the collection to your own scripts. Scheduled jobs keep watched series current in the background, checking sources and pulling new chapters without you babysitting tabs. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Omnibus runs your whole comic habit from one shelf: discover a series, request the missing issues, and read them in the browser when they land. Discovery starts with ComicVine or Metron metadata (high-resolution covers, synopses, and creator credits) and a release calendar that flags what you own and what is still missing across your monitored series. Requests are one click for a single issue or a whole run; Omnibus searches your indexers, hands the release to qBittorrent or SABnzbd, then imports, renames, and shelves the file with metadata embedded into the archive itself. Loose files that match nothing meet the Smart Matcher, which proposes the right series and applies every confident match in one pass. The built-in reader opens CBZ, natively read CBR and EPUB files in left-to-right, right-to-left manga, or continuous webtoon modes, with double-page spreads, brightness and contrast controls, page preloading, and preferences remembered per series; an offline button caches a full issue for the road. Reading lists assemble themselves from a pasted event ID or arrive by import from CBL files, League of Comic Geeks CSVs, AniList, or MyAnimeList, always showing how far through them you are. Everyone gets their own account, reading progress, follows, and an Updates feed, while OPDS, KOReader sync, and a Komga-compatible endpoint feed Panels, Mihon, and Paperback on the side. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Drop a hard drive's worth of comics, e-books, and audiobooks into folders, point Kumiho at them, and the whole collection becomes a library you can browse and read from any browser. The scanner walks nested folders recursively and treats the folders that actually hold pages or files as series, so an existing collection works as it is, with no metadata matching ritual before the first read. Comics and manga open in a responsive viewer built for the format: page turning on a desktop, continuous webtoon scrolling on a phone or tablet. E-books in EPUB, PDF, and TXT open in the same library, while archives in ZIP and CBZ are read directly without unpacking. Audiobooks get a real player, with a chapter list, resume playback that remembers where you stopped, progress tracking, bookmarks, and a sleep timer for listening at night. A series folder can even carry its own soundtrack: an MP3 whose filename matches starts playing as background music while you read. Everything runs from one lightweight Go server in a single Docker container, storing its database and configuration in mounted volumes, so the library sits comfortably on a small VPS next to the files it serves. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Seanime turns your server into a dedicated anime and manga command center, combining local library management, torrent streaming, an integrated manga reader, and AniList progress tracking in a single self-hosted web application. Point it at your media folders and the smart scanner automatically identifies and matches your anime files to AniList entries without requiring strict naming conventions or folder hierarchies. Stream episodes directly from torrents through qBittorrent, Transmission, Torbox, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, or Premiumize; the built-in player starts playback before the download finishes, so there is no waiting for full transfers. The manga reader pulls chapters from community extension sources and tracks your reading progress across series automatically. An in-app extension marketplace lets you install third-party providers for streaming, manga, and torrent sources, all written in JavaScript and managed through a visual interface. Seanime Tenji, the companion mobile app for iOS and Android, connects to your server for on-the-go library browsing, content streaming, and offline downloads. Auto-download rules grab new episodes of airing series the moment torrents appear. The transcoding engine handles on-the-fly conversion for browser playback on any device, while direct play passes through compatible formats at full quality. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Nowen Reader turns a NAS folder of manga and novels into a private library you can browse, organize, and read from anywhere, without handing your collection to a cloud service. Drop comic archives and ebook files into watched folders and automatic scanning brings them into the library, detecting duplicates and cleaning up invalid entries along the way. Metadata arrives from AniList, Bangumi, MangaDex, MangaUpdates, and Kitsu, so covers, authors, and series information fill themselves in instead of being typed by hand. Read comics in single page, double page, or vertical webtoon modes with image filters and bookmarks, and pick up novels chapter by chapter where you left off. Reading status follows each user, with want to read, currently reading, and finished shelves plus personal ratings, favorites, and progress statistics. OPDS feeds stream pages directly to KOReader, Moon+ Reader, and other compatible apps, so your e-reader pulls from the same library. Optional AI assistance can suggest tags, summarize chapters, analyze covers, and translate pages. Libraries can be public, private, or shared with user groups, with per-library permissions for households. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Curating digital comic archives, serialized manga, and electronic book libraries becomes effortless with Stump, a high-performance reading server that streams media collections over OPDS protocols directly to web browsers and e-reader hardware. Readers can organize extensive collections across CBZ, CBR, PDF, and EPUB formats, utilizing automated scanners that extract embedded ComicInfo XML and Calibre metadata tags. The built-in web reader renders high-resolution comic spreads, continuous vertical webtoon scrolls, and reflowable text with customizable color themes, font scaling, and reading direction toggles. Users can highlight passages, create persistent notes inside EPUB editions, and organize complex franchises into custom reading lists, oneshots, and smart filter collections. Bi-directional synchronization integrates with Kobo and KOReader hardware devices, maintaining page progression and bookmark states across handhelds and desktop sessions. Server administrators can configure multi-user access rules, enforce age restriction thresholds, and provision user-scoped API tokens for automated script pipelines and third-party companion tools. GraphQL and REST endpoints expose the entire catalog structure, allowing media collectors to integrate external metadata scrapers and trigger background library indexing tasks.

Consolidate fragmented collections of digital novels, graphic novels, manga, and audiobooks into Grimmory, an open-source media library server that combines automated file sorting with rich in-browser reading environments. The server indexes diverse media formats including EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, PDF, CBZ, CBR, CB7, M4B, and MP3 files across isolated storage directories. Readers explore literature through specialized browser viewports that provide customizable typography, CFI highlight annotations, two-page comic spreads with right-to-left manga modes, and chapter-based audiobook playback with sleep timers. Automated BookDrop watch folders ingest incoming files, retrieving book covers, author biographies, and community ratings from Google Books, Open Library, and Amazon APIs. Dynamic Magic Shelves organize catalogs automatically using nested boolean rule trees that filter books by page counts, genres, release dates, or narrator identities without server reload overhead. External e-readers access media catalogs through standard OPDS feeds or native Kobo and KOReader synchronization endpoints that match documents by binary content hashes. Built-in email delivery sends formatted books directly to Kindle devices with a single click, while OpenID Connect authentication enforces granular multi-user library permissions.

Issued is a self-hosted comic library server: point it at the folder of CBZ, CBR, CB7, and PDF comics already sitting on your server and the whole collection becomes browsable and readable from any device. Point it at your existing folders and it keeps your folder structure exactly as it is, scanning automatically when new issues appear and generating cover thumbnails so you can see what a file is before opening it. Read in the browser with the built-in web reader on desktop or mobile, with light and dark themes, or connect reader apps such as Panels, Chunky, KyBook, and Moon+ Reader through the standard OPDS catalog at /opds/. OPDS-PSE 1.2 page streaming lets compatible apps read individual pages as JPEGs without downloading whole archives, and OpenSearch discovery lets clients find library search automatically. Edit metadata in place using ComicInfo.xml data, mark series as ongoing to spot new issues, totals, and possible gaps, and use Continue Reading and Last Added views to resume the latest issue in progress or start the next unread one. An optional reader password protects browser access, and one Docker command on port 8181, with unrar included for CBR files, gets the whole library online. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Comic Library Utilities (CLU) is a self-hosted comic library manager that converts, repairs, tags, downloads, and reads your entire comic collection from one web interface. Convert whole folders or libraries from CBR to CBZ in bulk, turn PDFs into CBZ with JPEG or WebP output, and rename thousands of files to one consistent pattern without touching a terminal. Open any CBZ in the browser editor to reorder pages, add or delete images, crop covers, split merged multi issue archives, and adjust contrast and brightness issue by issue. Write ComicInfo.xml from Metron, ComicVine, Grand Comics Database, AniList, MangaDex, MangaUpdates, or Bedetheque, then bulk apply tags across a directory with review before saving and a history log that can revert any change. Browse your library by publisher, series, or folder, read page by page in the built in reader that remembers your place, and follow weekly release calendars with a pull list and Wanted tracker for issues you do not own yet. Download new issues from Direct Download sources, Usenet through Newznab indexers with SABnzbd or NZBGet, and DC++, while folder monitoring unpacks, converts, renames, and files new arrivals automatically. Add Reader, Clerk, and Store Owner accounts with per folder permissions, publish OPDS feeds for reader apps, and sync reading history with Komga.

Machine translation with no Google, no Azure, no per-character billing, and no text leaving your infrastructure: LibreTranslate is a free, open-source translation API that runs entirely on your own server. The engine underneath is Argos Translate, which runs OpenNMT neural models with SentencePiece tokenization and Stanza sentence-boundary detection, all offline. Models install as portable .argosmodel packages covering dozens of languages - English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, and many more - and Argos handles automatic pivoting: with es-to-en and en-to-fr installed, it chains them to translate es-to-fr without a direct model. The API is a straightforward HTTP POST to /translate with source and target language codes, returning JSON - simple enough that the ecosystem has clients in every major language and integrations across tools like Weblate and Mastodon. Beyond plain text it translates HTML while preserving markup and handles whole file uploads (documents in, translated documents out), plus automatic language detection when the source is unknown. A clean bundled web UI serves interactive translation for end users, and optional API keys with rate limits control access. AGPL-licensed and trainable with custom models, it is the standard answer when translation must be private, unmetered, and self-contained - GDPR-sensitive text never touches a third party.

When international movies and series arrive in a Radarr or Sonarr library without native-language captions, Lingarr automatically translates subtitle files across dozens of languages using local AI models or cloud translation engines. Connect your existing movie and television directories to scan media folders, identify missing target-language subtitles, and generate translated caption files alongside the original video streams. Administrators can configure an ordered chain of 13 translation backends, pairing a primary engine such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI, or DeepL with automatic fallback to self-hosted LibreTranslate or local Ollama models whenever rate limits occur. Context-aware prompt templates inject preceding and following dialogue lines into each AI request so idioms, speaker tone, and timing remain natural across scene transitions, while batch translation mode processes multi-line blocks in a single call. From the web dashboard, users can browse indexed movies and episodes, trigger manual single-file or library-wide translations, and monitor active queues, progress percentages, and historical logs in real time. Scheduled background tasks and a documented REST API allow media servers to automate caption generation completely hands-free as new releases finish downloading.

Excerpt-only feeds, truncated teasers, and articles in languages you do not read make RSS feel broken; FeedCraft sits between the source and your reader and fixes the feed itself. Pick from more than twenty single-step crafts: extract the full article text, even from JavaScript-rendered pages through a headless browser, translate titles or whole articles, add AI introductions and summaries, strip ads and clutter, or filter items by keyword, embedding similarity, or a natural-language prompt to your own LLM. Chain crafts into FlowCraft pipelines, so one pass can limit a feed to ten items, fetch every full text, drop the advertorials, and summarize what survives. Save the result as a recipe and FeedCraft hands you a permanent crafted feed URL that drops straight into the reader you already use, while portable mode transforms any feed on the fly from a single crafted URL prefix. When a site has no feed at all, the visual generators build one from a webpage with CSS selectors, from a JSON API with curl import, or straight from search results.

Fifty-plus image processing tools in a single Docker container, with no Redis, no Postgres, and no external dependencies: SnapOtter is a self-hosted image toolkit. The everyday operations are all here: resize, crop, compress, watermark, vectorize, meme generation, GIF creation, and format conversion spanning 55+ input formats (including 23 camera RAW formats) to 14 output formats. What sets it apart is the local AI layer: background removal, photo upscaling and restoration, object erasing, face blurring, OCR, and canvas expansion all run on locally hosted models, so no image ever leaves your server - a hard guarantee that cloud tools like remove.bg or Canva can't make. Optional NVIDIA GPU support accelerates those AI tasks substantially when hardware is available, but everything works on CPU. A built-in layer-based editor handles composition work directly in the browser, and screenshot beautification turns plain captures into polished visuals with backgrounds, shadows, and padding - useful for docs and marketing alike. Batch operations process unlimited images simultaneously, and the full REST API with OpenAPI documentation exposes every tool for pipelines and automations: thumbnail generation on upload, bulk RAW conversion, automated watermarking. For teams processing sensitive imagery or anyone tired of per-image SaaS pricing, SnapOtter replaces a stack of subscriptions with one private container.
