Overview

What is Kavita?

Kavita is an open-source, fast and elegant digital library server, designed to organize and read your collection of books, comics, manga and documents from any device. It transforms a simple folder of files into a structured and enjoyable media library.

Kavita supports many formats — EPUB, PDF, CBZ/CBR and images — and automatically organizes your collection using metadata and covers. You can create collections, reading lists, filter and search across the entire library, and instantly find the desired title.

The built-in web reader offers a smooth reading experience on desktop, tablet and mobile, with progress tracking and synchronized bookmarks. Multi-account management, roles and permissions, and an open API (compatible with third-party reading clients) make it a sovereign reading server, shareable with family or team.

Host Kavita at DINAO

No managed container for Kavita: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 512 Mo / 10 Go minimum).

Application available on a VPS

This application requires privileged access to the host machine, which is incompatible with managed shared hosting. It is installed on a VPS (virtual private server) that you administer: DINAO delivers it with Docker and the management panel of your choice, and you install and maintain Kavita yourself. The VPS is not managed by DINAO unless you add the managed-services option when ordering.

Technical reason: bind-mount d'un chemin hôte (volumes nommés uniquement en managé).
