Dipping my toes in selfhosting lately, here is my ideal books setup:

  • Upload books/comics/audiobooks to my server via Calibre-Web which serves as the main organization hub for all books.

  • Have those files be recognized by Audiobookshelf and Komga (or Kavita)

Right now, Audiobookshelf works beautifully (as long as I don’t check “store cover with book” which overwrites Calibres covers).

Komga/Kavita sort of work (in that I can see/read the files), but they won’t organize into series even with properly configured ComicInfo.xml files. Is re-arranging the files manually (in a way that Calibre doesn’t like) the only way for comics to be recognized as a series? Please tell me there’s a workaround here I feel so close!

    This is super helpful, I wonder if Calibre-Web uploads can be handled this way too.
