Have you tried the docker version? Works perfectly for me. Here’s my docker config if you want to give it a shot:
sudo docker run -d
--name=kavita
-e PUID=1000
-e PGID=1000
-e TZ=YOUR/TIMEZONE
-p 5000:5000
-v path/to/kavita/config/:/config
-v path/ro/kavita/ebooks/:/data
--restart unless-stopped
lscr.io/linuxserver/kavita:latest
Edit the time zone and volume paths as needed. You can just make a new volume for config and it will fill it with settings stuff, and then point the data volume to the folder with your ebooks.
The ebooks themselves need to be sorted a little differently depending on if they are PDF’s, ePub, or comics, but it isn’t to hard once you get the hang of it. Basically ePub likes to be in a subfolder and PDF likes to be in the root folder for some reason, otherwise it puts the PDF’s in a collection named after the subfolder.
Overall, I’ve been really happy with Kavita and think it has a lot of potential, especially as an ebook extension of Plex since the layout is nearly identical.
