BookLore centralizes personal electronic book, audiobook, and comic collections into an organized private media server equipped with automated metadata scrapers and e-reader synchronization. Users can drop EPUB, PDF, CBZ, and MOBI files into a watched BookDrop directory to trigger automated format parsing, background cover retrieval, and staged queue imports. Integrated metadata scrapers query Google Books, Open Library, Goodreads, and Amazon to automatically fill synopsis summaries, author records, publishing dates, and review scores. Dynamic Magic Shelves categorize volumes through custom rule-based filters, author collections, and full-text search indexes across your complete literature catalog. The browser-based reader renders documents with adjustable typography, night modes, audio playback controls, text annotations, and persistent bookmarking. Hardware e-readers and mobile devices connect through native Kobo Store emulation APIs, bidirectional KOReader progress synchronization, and OPDS catalog feeds. Multi-tenant permissions provide each household member with private reading statistics, personalized shelves, email book delivery, and direct send-to-Kindle dispatch. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GNU AGPLv3 licensed.

Manga, comics, ebooks, and light novels get a streaming-service-style home in Kavita - a fast, cross-platform reading server for the DRM-free collection you share with family and friends. It natively serves CBZ, CBR, CB7, ZIP/RAR/7z archives, raw images, EPUB, and PDF, with hand-crafted web readers per format: webtoon scrolling, single and dual-page spreads with advanced caching for the comic reader, and a book reader with adjustable fonts, spacing, margins, color themes, and column modes. Reading progress tracks per user, so everyone resumes exactly where they stopped on any device. Metadata parses from filenames, ComicInfo.xml, and EPUB fields, feeding index-backed search, smart filters, collections, reading lists with CBL import, and Want to Read queues. Role-based user management covers age restrictions, per-library access, and OIDC authentication. An OPDS feed connects third-party clients - Panels on iOS, Librera on Android, KOReader on e-ink devices - and a comprehensive REST API supports custom integrations. EPUB annotation and highlight support, custom theming, and full localization round it out. Built with .NET and Angular, it handles 50,000+ file libraries without strain; optional Kavita+ adds AniList scrobbling, recommendations, and external metadata.

Comic Library Utilities (CLU) is a self-hosted comic library manager that converts, repairs, tags, downloads, and reads your entire comic collection from one web interface. Convert whole folders or libraries from CBR to CBZ in bulk, turn PDFs into CBZ with JPEG or WebP output, and rename thousands of files to one consistent pattern without touching a terminal. Open any CBZ in the browser editor to reorder pages, add or delete images, crop covers, split merged multi issue archives, and adjust contrast and brightness issue by issue. Write ComicInfo.xml from Metron, ComicVine, Grand Comics Database, AniList, MangaDex, MangaUpdates, or Bedetheque, then bulk apply tags across a directory with review before saving and a history log that can revert any change. Browse your library by publisher, series, or folder, read page by page in the built in reader that remembers your place, and follow weekly release calendars with a pull list and Wanted tracker for issues you do not own yet. Download new issues from Direct Download sources, Usenet through Newznab indexers with SABnzbd or NZBGet, and DC++, while folder monitoring unpacks, converts, renames, and files new arrivals automatically. Add Reader, Clerk, and Store Owner accounts with per folder permissions, publish OPDS feeds for reader apps, and sync reading history with Komga.

Toonflow, an open-source AI studio for short dramas, animated comics, and short videos, lets you plan, generate, and direct every shot as nodes on a canvas that runs on your own server. Text nodes hold the story, characters, and shot descriptions. Image generation nodes create character sheets with close-up, front, side, and back views. Video generation nodes take numbered reference images. Aspect ratio, resolution, and duration options depend on the selected model. Connectors link the nodes, so a character sheet made once is reusable in every shot. The 3D director's studio blocks a scene with camera framing, lighting, and keyframes. Export the scene as a video node. An assistant panel reads the project and reports which assets and videos have been generated. It offers next steps: generate a shot, revise a prompt, or start a new canvas. Finished images and clips preview on the canvas and download for further production work. Models come from third-party APIs, local ComfyUI workflows, or local language models. Plugins for nodes, skills, tools, and agents install from the marketplace. MCP links external tools and services. Projects, settings, and plugins live in one data directory. The interface offers 21 languages. There is no built-in login, so a firewall or an authenticating reverse proxy decides who can reach it.

What Jellyfin is for video, Komga is for comics, manga, BDs, magazines, and eBooks: point it at folders of CBZ, CBR, CBT, PDF, and EPUB files and it becomes a proper library with cover art, embedded metadata import, and per-user reading progress. The responsive web reader handles multiple reading modes - left-to-right for western comics, right-to-left for manga, webtoon scrolling - while collections and read lists organize crossovers and story arcs, with ComicRack .cbl read list import for existing curation. Its openness is the real differentiator: OPDS v1.2 and v2.0 feeds serve virtually every reader app (Panels, Moon+ Reader, Mihon/Tachiyomi, KyBook), with OpenSearch and page-streaming extensions so mobile apps fetch pages on demand instead of whole archives. E-ink support is built in, not bolted on - Kobo devices sync directly against Komga instead of Kobo's servers, with two-way read progress, on-the-fly KEPUB conversion via Kepubify, and optional proxying so official Kobo purchases still work; KOReader sync covers everything else. Multi-user management brings per-library access control, age restrictions, and label restrictions for family setups. Housekeeping tools detect duplicate files and duplicate pages, and a REST API feeds a healthy ecosystem of community scripts. Runs from a single Docker container with embedded SQLite.

Curating digital comic archives, serialized manga, and electronic book libraries becomes effortless with Stump, a high-performance reading server that streams media collections over OPDS protocols directly to web browsers and e-reader hardware. Readers can organize extensive collections across CBZ, CBR, PDF, and EPUB formats, utilizing automated scanners that extract embedded ComicInfo XML and Calibre metadata tags. The built-in web reader renders high-resolution comic spreads, continuous vertical webtoon scrolls, and reflowable text with customizable color themes, font scaling, and reading direction toggles. Users can highlight passages, create persistent notes inside EPUB editions, and organize complex franchises into custom reading lists, oneshots, and smart filter collections. Bi-directional synchronization integrates with Kobo and KOReader hardware devices, maintaining page progression and bookmark states across handhelds and desktop sessions. Server administrators can configure multi-user access rules, enforce age restriction thresholds, and provision user-scoped API tokens for automated script pipelines and third-party companion tools. GraphQL and REST endpoints expose the entire catalog structure, allowing media collectors to integrate external metadata scrapers and trigger background library indexing tasks.

Drop a hard drive's worth of comics, e-books, and audiobooks into folders, point Kumiho at them, and the whole collection becomes a library you can browse and read from any browser. The scanner walks nested folders recursively and treats the folders that actually hold pages or files as series, so an existing collection works as it is, with no metadata matching ritual before the first read. Comics and manga open in a responsive viewer built for the format: page turning on a desktop, continuous webtoon scrolling on a phone or tablet. E-books in EPUB, PDF, and TXT open in the same library, while archives in ZIP and CBZ are read directly without unpacking. Audiobooks get a real player, with a chapter list, resume playback that remembers where you stopped, progress tracking, bookmarks, and a sleep timer for listening at night. A series folder can even carry its own soundtrack: an MP3 whose filename matches starts playing as background music while you read. Everything runs from one lightweight Go server in a single Docker container, storing its database and configuration in mounted volumes, so the library sits comfortably on a small VPS next to the files it serves.
