LinuxServer.io

The awesome people over at LinuxServer.io have created a docker image for Kavita.

An important note is that they only offer stable releases and do not have support for 32bit ARM (armv7).

If you want to run the nightly testing branch or need armv7, you will need to run the official dockerhub or github image.

Docker Compose

services:
  kavita:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/kavita:latest
    container_name: kavita
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=true
    volumes:
      - /path/to/kavita/config:/config
      - /path/to/data:/data #optional
    ports:
      - 5000:5000
    restart: unless-stopped

Migrtaing to/from Official Images

Kavita is functionally the same between the official dockerhub image and the linuxserver.io image. The only difference is the location of the config folder.

To migrate to LSIO from the official image, change the config folder in your mount from /kavita/config to /config.

To go from LSIO to the official image, change the config folder in your mount from /config to /kavita/config.
