Ebook/Manga/Light Novel manager recommendation? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've heard about Kavita and CWA. Kavita can't fetch metadata sadly and it has too much behind the "+" service and CWA, as far as I know, is not very good for managing Manga and Comic.

Any recommendations? I would prefer it to be able to get it on the same app so I don't have to constantly change IP on Kindle.

UPDATE: if you take the Komga & Komf route, use Komga 1.24.4 and Komf 1.7.1. Looks like newer releases of both just don't work for some unholy reason.

Komga is always mentioned as a good option for this. I use it for books, manga, and comics, but my requirements are quite minimal (koreader sync, opds, and mihon), so it might not work for you exactly.

I do metadata fetching using komf, documentation is a bit lacking but once setup is pretty good (I use it for both manga and comics) and it does everything automatically. There is also a browser extension that provides a UI for it. For comics sometimes I use ComicTagger for manually reviewing tags too. I would just read carefully the folder structure Komga expects if you go with that, to avoid having weird surprises :)

I'm trying with Komga and Komf but they just simply don't work. I don't know if it's a new issue or a weird update, buy Komf sees the libraries but it never starts a job. I've been trying to make it work for a couple hours but it seems out of my league, hehe.

I can send you my configs and docker files in pm, if that helps :)

Sure, I could try that <3
