Overview

What is Kapowarr?

Kapowarr is an open-source software designed to build and manage a comics library, designed to integrate into the famous *arr suite. Like Sonarr for TV series or Radarr for movies, Kapowarr specializes in building and organizing your digital comic book collection.

The application allows you to add volumes, map them to folders, and then rename, sort, and convert issues automatically — including trade paperbacks (TPB), one-shots, and hardcovers. The entire process is automated and fully customizable in the settings.

Lightweight and easy to deploy thanks to its SQLite database, with no dependency on an external database service, Kapowarr runs via a clear web interface. Hosted by DINAO, it keeps your library and metadata in France, under your full control.

Host Kapowarr at DINAO

No managed container for Kapowarr: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 512 Mo / 2 Go (hors bibliothèque de comics) minimum).

Kapowarr needs a level of access to the machine that the managed container, shared between several customers, does not give. Two VPS hosted in France: DINAO installs and manages it for you, or you administer it yourself.

Technical reason: bind mount of a host path (named volumes only in the managed offer).

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About Kapowarr 6 questions

What is Kapowarr used for?

Kapowarr builds and manages your comics library. Like Sonarr for series or Radarr for movies, it organizes your volumes, renames, sorts, and converts your issues (TPBs, one-shots, hardcovers) automatically.

Does it integrate with the *arr suite?

Yes. Kapowarr is designed to integrate into the *arr ecosystem, with logic and ergonomics familiar to users of these tools.

Where is the data hosted?

On DINAO's French infrastructure, in one of the available data centers. Your library and metadata never leave the territory.

Do I need technical skills?

No for usage: the web interface is ready to use. The VPS is not managed by default; you install and maintain the application yourself. You configure your folders and sorting rules.

Can I change plans or export my data?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time, and your library remains exportable — no proprietary lock-in.

Is this application tested before it is offered?

This application has not yet passed our automatic deployment test. It can still be installed, but we invite you to contact us before ordering: we will then test it as a priority. The deployment template used was last updated on 3 July 2026. Each new version released by the publisher triggers this test again: the date above therefore follows the version actually offered.
