About Komga
Komga organizes CBZ, CBR, PDF and EPUB files into libraries, collections and reading lists on your own server. You can edit metadata for series and individual books, then read them through the integrated web reader.
Beyond the browser, Komga works with the Mihon extension, any OPDS reader and other integrations, so a collection can be read on phones and tablets. It suits people with a large comic or manga library they want to browse from several devices.

Kavita
A self-hosted reading server for ebooks, comics and manga, with readers built for each format and OPDS for everything else.
Kavita is GPL-3.0 open source with separate readers for EPUB, PDF and comics, multi-user age restrictions and OIDC login, though some metadata features need the paid Kavita+ add-on.
Stump
A free and open-source self-hosted server for comics, manga and digital books with OPDS support.
Stump is an open-source self-hosted server for comics, manga and ebooks with OPDS and Docker deployment, offering a shorter documented feature list than Komga's collections and reading lists.

Calibre-Web
A self-hosted web app for browsing, reading and downloading ebooks stored in a Calibre database.
