Komga in Docker Swarm

{% include 'try-in-elfhosted.md' %}

So you've just watched a bunch of superhero movies, and you're suddenly inspired to deep-dive into the weird world of comic books? You're already rocking AutoPirate with Mylar and NZBGet to grab content, but how to manage and enjoy your growing collection?

{ loading=lazy }

Komga is a media server with a beautifully slick interface, allowing you to read your comics / manga in CBZ, CBR, PDF and epub format. Komga includes an integrated web reader, as well as a Tachiyomi plugin and an OPDS server for integration with other mobile apps such as Chunky on iPad.

{{ page.meta.recipe }} Requirements

--8<-- "recipe-standard-ingredients.md"

* [X] [AutoPirate](/recipes/autopirate/) components (*specifically [Mylar](/recipes/autopirate/mylar/)*), for searching for, downloading, and managing comic books

Preparation

Setup data locations

First we create a directory to hold the komga database, logs and other persistent data:

mkdir /var/data/komga

{{ page.meta.recipe }} Docker Swarm config

Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like the example below:

--8<-- "premix-cta.md"

version: "3.2"

services:
  komga:
    image: gotson/komga
    env_file: /var/data/config/komga/komga.env
    volumes:
      - /var/data/media/:/media
      - /var/data/komga:/config
    deploy:
      replicas: 1
      labels:
        # traefik common
        - traefik.enable=true
        - traefik.docker.network=traefik_public

        # traefikv1
        - traefik.frontend.rule=Host:komga.example.com
        - traefik.port=8080     

        # traefikv2
        - "traefik.http.routers.komga.rule=Host(`komga.example.com`)"
        - "traefik.http.services.komga.loadbalancer.server.port=8080"
        - "traefik.enable=true"

        # Remove if you wish to access the URL directly
        - "traefik.http.routers.komga.middlewares=forward-auth@file"
    networks:
      - traefik_public

networks:
  traefik_public:
    external: true
