looks great right now i am using komga, is there a https://tachiyomi.org plugin planed ?

[Kizaing]

Hey thanks for trying it out! There is not currently a plugin planned, but I can certainly pass that off to the developer of the app, and not sure if it's relevant, but OPDS support is planned if Tachiyomi supports that

 

Edit: I have been informed that a plugin is in the pipeline at some point, but most likely closer to a 1.0 release

Edit 2: There is now a Tachiyomi extension! At the time of writing it is just waiting to be merged into their extension repo, but it will be on there very soon

I might be an idiot, but is there a way to use swag to make my website point to this?

open up Notepad or Notepad++ and paste in 

 

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;
    # Change Server_name to your subdomain
    server_name kavita.*;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;

    # enable for ldap auth, fill in ldap details in ldap.conf
    #include /config/nginx/ldap.conf;

    # enable for Authelia
    #include /config/nginx/authelia-server.conf;

    location / {

  #include /config/nginx/authelia-location.conf;

    include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;

    set $upstream_app Kavita;
        set $upstream_port 5000;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
    }  
}

 

Do "Save As"

name it "kavita.subdomain.conf"

select "Save as Type" All Files

this will make it a .conf file

move this to your Appdata/swag/nginx/proxy-confs/

 

this is only for a Subdomain not a Subfolder. 

also attached a copy if ya just wanna use that.

kavita.subdomain

There is one available now.

 

What's everyone using to tag their manga? Because the application doesn't (deliberately) make any use of folder structure which whilst maybe useful for it to not depend on it is a big drawback if you don't really have a nice way to tag your manga.

 

I know there are tools like manga-tagger, but they are Windows-GUI-only and boy does it want a LOT of dependencies for a end-user oriented application.

 

Set up a VM only for FMD2 and it, but manga-tagger refuses to function.

 

Apparently there's a docker-template for manga-tagger of a fork that doesn't rely on FMD2, but I'm hesitant to try it out.

How would I get the Kavita-Email container to get pulled with this one?

 

https://wiki.kavitareader.com/en/guides/misc/email

 

https://github.com/Kareadita/KavitaEmail

 

I'd like to use my own SMTP email.  I don't know that I understand how to install and run this within this container and have it persist through updates.  Any suggestions or is there a separate unraid app for this?

I can set up a separate app for it, I'll get to work on that soon

Hia Kizaing, thanks for this awesome work. 

I am trying to setup the new email container for use with a Gmail account. 

But i can't get this to work. 

Also the standard kavita mail never worked for me, always bringing back a 400 error.

There is a bit of nuance to it, it's the way the Kavita developer set up the email app. So for gmail you'd use the following config:

           - SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
           - SMTP_PORT=587
           - SMTP_USER=<your gmail address>
           - SMTP_PASS=<google password>
           - SEND_ADDR=<your gmail address>
           - DISP_NAME=Kavita

 

Then in Kavita itself, under Admin Settings -> Email

Set the url to be http://<host-ip>:5003

 

Sometimes there is a bug where the email relay doesn't work, so if that still doesn't work try making sure you're using the latest stable release, and if that still doesn't work join us on the Discord and one of the devs can help troubleshoot it for you Hope that helps!

[Yellow NL]

Well Kavita cannot reacht the mail docker. 

in the logg the mail docker says this :

 

info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[14]
      Now listening on: http://[::]:5003

 

So i think there is something wrong with the hosting of the mail docker? 

 

Also, i had the Kavita app on my custom docker network. 

If i put it on "host" then the standard Kavita mail works. 

[Kizaing]

Ah ok, I only ever tested it on host or bridge mode in which it works fine. I can look into that, but if its something with the code itself I'll have to pass that on to the lead developer, I only made the docker containers haha

[Exanimo]

Hey! Just installed Kavita and it looks promising so far! And i've tried quite a few the last few days 😅

 

Only when inviting other people over, it doesn't work but i've read that was to be expected.

So i opened the log trying to complete the invite myself.

But when entering a name and password (can't change email at that point) i get:

 

400

The Email does not match the registered email.

 

Any idea what i'm doing wrong here?

Thanks!

 

Edit: Made my server accessible from outside, that solved it for me at least. Addicted to filling up Kavita now with all my old comics!

[raujaku]

Changing the font size, doesn't seem to work.

[Ocgineer]

For those that try to use the KavitaEmail from the community apps there is an issue with the template where the 'key' of each environment variables is not set. So edit each variable and set the Key the same as the Name (e.g. Name: SMTP_HOST, Key: SMTP_HOST).

 

Furthermore, if you are having Kavita and KavitaEmail on the same docker network (e.g. your reverse proxy network), simply set the Email Service Url in the Kavita settings to `http://kavitaemail:5003` (using the docker network domain name).

Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this but im finding that the latest version of Kavita (0.6.0.0) is causing my server to spike to 80% cpu usage by just the container being active.

I don't know why this is happening but it is consistently happening and i can stop the container and see my cpu usage drop straight away.

[stserra]

Same for me, but cpu up to 100%. Useless 😢

[rguinn]

@Kizaing Have you seen any reason on why the CPU is Maxing out ?

Its a Known Issue Disable the Watching and Delete the Hangfire.db (After You Backup) This did solve it for me

A fresh install of Kavita is not working for me.  I'm on unraid 6.11.1 and Kavita version is 0.6.0.0.

The UI works and I can change settings and add libraries but no books appear.  I see this in the logs on startup which I'm guessing is the root of the problem:

 

Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteException (0x80004005): SQLite Error 1: 'no such table: ServerSetting'.

 

I tried deleting the config folder and starting over but it ends with the same result.

[BCCHowdy]

Updating to 0.6.1.0 sorted the sql errors.

The books not showing was due to my misunderstanding for how folder hierarchy works within libraries.  All good now!

Good day to you.

I'm new with unraid and installed the docker. 

 

I understood anything wrong.

Is the script also required when the docker will installed via App Center?

 

I installed it via App Center and set the folders via edit Docker. WebGui works fine and I see my Folder Library in the Web. I created a Library but scanning don't found anything.

 

Could you please try to help

 

Thanks a lot
