How to get and configure the Tachiyomi extension with Komga?

[phanirithvij]

So I did a docker-compose up with this docker-compose.yml

komga/doc/docker-compose.yml

Lines 1 to 20 in dba9d13

	---
	version: '3'
	services:
	nestor:
	image: gotson/komga
	container_name: komga
	volumes:
	- ~/opt/appdata/komga:/config
	- /mnt/nas/media/Books/:/books
	- /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
	ports:
	- 8090:8080
	environment:
	- SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=prod
	- SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL=jdbc:h2:/config/database.h2;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1
	- KOMGA_ROOT_FOLDER=/books
	- KOMGA_ROOT_FOLDER_SCAN_CRON=0 0 * * * ? # periodic scan every hour
	- KOMGA_USER_PASSWORD=your-admin-password
	- KOMGA_ADMIN_PASSWORD=your-user-password
	restart: unless-stopped

And the server's running on my pc.

How do I connect it to the android app that's on my mobile? Can you provide an extension apk before the PR gets accepted?

Hello,

You have to configure the extension in Tachiyomi, and provide 3 parameters :

• the url of the server, without trailing /, for example http://x.x.x.x:8090
• the login, here user
• the password

And then restart Tachiyomi for preferences to be taken into account (you can kill the app).

Here is a development build you can use :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kisrf7z6gs2tfqb/tachiyomi-all.komga-v1.2.1-debug.apk?dl=0

Or you can build the APK from the PR if you don't want to install an unknown APK.

1. How do I set a user name? I see KOMGA_ADMIN_PASSWORD, KOMGA_USER_PASSWORD but no username?
2. Where do I store the books in my pc (say a Windows one)?

In the example, you're mounting this path as /books right.
/mnt/nas/media/Books/:/books

I tried D:\\Comics:/books with a single CBR file in it but I still got

komga     | 2019-08-23 07:34:43.203  INFO 1 --- [           main] o.g.komga.domain.service.LibraryManager  : Parsing all books in status: unknown

• How do I set a user name? I see KOMGA_ADMIN_PASSWORD, KOMGA_USER_PASSWORD but no username?

At the moment there are only 2 users: admin and user. The default password for each is the same as the login (so admin and user).

• admin can perform admin actions on the API, access the embedded database via the h2-console, and access the Spring Actuator endpoints
• user can only access series and books. That's the one you should configure in Tachiyomi: Komga.

2. Where do I store the books in my pc (say a Windows one)?

I am running it on Ubuntu, so i am not sure how to mount local drives inside the container on Windows.

Basically the container expects the root folder of your library inside the container to be at /books (that's the KOMGA_ROOT_FOLDER parameter).

Then in the sample docker-compose.yml, this line maps a local folder within the container:

/mnt/nas/media/Books/:/books

So /mnt/nas/media/Books/ is a local folder on my Linux machine, and Docker mounts it inside the container at path /books.

I tried D:\\Comics:/books with a single CBR file in it but I still got

You should look for this line of log instead:

2019-08-23 14:33:31.646  INFO 4116 --- [nTaskExecutor-1] o.g.komga.domain.service.LibraryManager  : Updating library: default, root folder: D:\Comics\

The line of log you are showing is normal. Komga starts by first getting all the files/folders under the root directory, then it will parse books that are not yet parsed (so subsequent scans only add/remove/update books).

I've added some details on how it works and how to configure it in the README. I could also provide an executable jar file if that could help you to run it on Windows!

[gotson]

@phanirithvij i am now distributing executable jar files from the releases tab. Maybe that can help you run it on Windows without having to mount drives.
