Documentation
# Ebook / Manga / Comic Server
A self-hosted library + reader for ebooks, manga, and comics, powered by Kavita.
## How it runs
Kavita scans the `/manga` volume for libraries you organize by series/volume (typical structure: `/manga/Series Name/Volume 01.cbz`). Metadata, reading progress, and the SQLite DB live on `/kavita/config`. The web reader serves on `:5000`; OPDS clients (KOReader, Moon+ Reader, Panels) work too.
## Setup
1. Open the app, register as the first user (becomes admin).
2. Settings → Libraries → add a library pointing at `/manga` (or a subfolder), pick the type (Manga/Comic/Book), and scan.
## Theme / appearance
Kavita has multiple built-in themes (dark default + others).
<!-- CONFIRM-AT-BUILD: pin a specific Kavita tag (e.g. v0.9.0.2) — `latest` moves. -->
