The Kavita team offers an official Docker image that is automatically updated based on changes to GitHub.
Running your Kavita server in docker is super easy! You can run the :latest
stable version with bind mounts using this command:
Important: This command is just a template. Change /your/manga/directory
and /kavita/data/directory
Note: The text after ":
" is the virtual directory that will be created inside the docker container.
docker run --name kavita -p 5000:5000 \
-v /your/manga/directory:/manga \
-v /kavita/data/directory:/kavita/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
-e TZ=Your/Timezone \
-d kizaing/kavita:latest
You can also run it via the docker-compose file:
version: '3.9'
services:
kavita:
image: kizaing/kavita:latest
volumes:
- ./manga:/manga
- ./data:/kavita/config
environment:
- TZ=Your/Timezone
ports:
- "5000:5000"
restart: unless-stopped
You don't need to call it manga, you can name it anything that works for you. Kavita supports more than just Manga.
Note: Kavita is under heavy development and is being updated all the time, so the tag for current builds is :nightly
. The :latest
tag will be the latest stable release.
