After all of this research I still feel like I am far from a conclusion and could really use your help. When I access Kavita or Komga on my computers web browser the pages load much faster even through my own domain. My server is not located on my home network so I have set up a reverse proxy to access Kavita and Komga remotely but I don't think this is causing the issue. Its a bit of a hassle to get all the way to my manga libraries and when I do pick a chapter to stream it takes a long time for the pages to load even though the files are very small. Before I attempted the self hosting route I used the app called 'Panels' to manage all of my local downloads and it works great for that, after finally figuring out how to connect Kavita and Komga however I'm having second thoughts. I want to use both my iPad and iPhone to read the manga I host and figuring this out has been a nightmare. The main problem that I am having is actually reading the manga on a different platform. This is a minor issue but with all of the metadata I use for Plex I was curious.

Both seem to work fine but I am disappointed at the lack of metadata collection and this leads me to my first question, is there a way to make my series look better? For example with the series death note I have each chapter of the series downloaded but both kavita and Komga simply display the first page with a title as 'Chapter 2' Im curious if there is a way to grab metadata so that my series can look more complete with possible covers and chapter names.

I am currently trying out Komga and Kavita as I have set up both in docker containers and linked both to my manga folder. My current solution is to use HakuNeko to download straight to my server through a remote network drive. I am currently running an unraid server and all of my files are either CBZ or CBR. I have a large collection of manga and comic books that I would like to host in a way that would be similar to my plex server. I have been hosting a plex server for a few years now and have fallen in love with hosting my own media. Hey guys, I have recently decided that I would like to try and host my own server for all of my manga and after a few days of playing wither different programs I have some questions and need recommendations. If you have the time please read the post or comment how you currently host your manga so I can see successful setups and hopefully set up my own as well. TLDR: I have tried Komga and Kavita and i'm looking for suggestions on how to make them run better, add metadata, and connect them to read on a ios device with quick loading times.
