Kavita e-book library on docker
Looking for a lightweight replacement for your Ubooquity e-book library? Here's a good one
After realizing that Ubooquity is currently not actively maintained and taking up way too much memory on my docker server, I did a search for similar solutions and Kavita was one of the higher ranking ones.
Using Portainer for the quickest deployment possible I went with the following docker-compose based template
---
version: '3.9'
services:
kavita:
image: kizaing/kavita:latest
volumes:
- /home/docker/kavita/books/epub:/books/epub
- /home/docker/kavita/comics:/comics
- /home/docker/kavita/config:/kavita/config
ports:
- "5000:5000"
restart: unless-stopped
The result after the initial user and folder setup is the following
The reading engine works the same as Ubooquity, meaning that you can read your e-books wherever you have a functioning web browser, and your last read page is of course synced.
