Kombo

Komga + Kobo

What is this?

A docker container that monitors your Komga comics / manga / ebooks library and converts from CBZ/CBR to EPUB automatically.

My use-case

I personally couldn't find anything that worked with my setup, my setup is this and if yours is similar it'll likely benefit you too :)

1. I have mylar3 snatching my comics which puts them in my main Comics library
2. I then have Komga hosting my Comics for me to read. I have historically read my comics over OPDS on my iPad using Panels but I just got a Kobo Libra Colour :D
3. I want to use the native Kobo Sync feature that Komga uses as OPDS through Koreader does not support syncing of reading progress

This is where the catch is; Kobo Sync with Komga only works on epubs. Comics are commonly found in CBZ/CBR formats.

There is a tool, kcc that will convert CBZ/CBR to EPUB.

This container is essentially a script that wraps KCC and performs the conversion automatically.

Docker Compose

Simply create a docker-compose.yml like the one in the repo

Set PROFILE to a value supported from here

Set FORMAT to a format of your choosing (e.g. EPUB, case sensitive)

There are three volumes required /input, /output and /config. /input is for your incoming books, /output is where your converted books will be saved and /config is for working files. /config MUST be specified for any persistence otherwise any time the docker container is started, it will convert ALL the books in /input.
