Komga Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Komga hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted comic and manga server on your own domain. Deploy Komga and xCloud runs the pinned official image as one container, publishes the web reader over HTTPS, and keeps its database and settings on one persistent volume and your library files on another. Open the site and claim the administrator account right away, copy your files into the data volume, then add a library and scan.

  • No terminal
  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

What is Komga?

Self-hosted Komga is a media server for your comics, manga, magazines and ebooks. Upstream lists a responsive web UI, a web reader with several reading modes, collections and read lists, metadata editing, multiple users with per-library access control and age restrictions, a REST API, OPDS v1 and v2, Kobo Sync and KOReader Sync. It is MIT licensed, and it serves files you already own.

On xCloud the template runs ghcr.io/gotson/komga 1.29.0, pinned by digest, as one container. The komga_config volume holds the database, users, settings and search index, and komga_data holds your library files. Komga has no upload feature, so files arrive through the filesystem. The administrator is created in the browser on the claim page, and anyone who reaches it first can claim the server.

From Sign-Up to a Readable Library In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Komga setup normally means a container, a config volume, a library volume, a domain and a certificate before the first page is turned. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Komga from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no install-form fields to fill in.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the pinned official Komga image as a single container, mount komga_config for the database, users, settings and search index and komga_data for your library at /data, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Claim The Server And Add Books

    Open your HTTPS Komga URL as soon as it loads and create the administrator account on the claim page. Then copy your files into the komga_data volume, add a library with the folder /data and run a scan.

A Comic Reader Web App: Everything Komga Does

Komga runs in full here: a comics, manga and ebook server with a web reader and reader-app feeds, on storage you own.

  • Responsive Web UI

    Browse libraries and series in a web interface that works on desktop, tablet and phone.

  • Built-In Web Reader

    Read in the browser with multiple reading modes.

  • OPDS, Kobo And KOReader

    Connect reader apps through OPDS v1 and v2, Kobo Sync or KOReader Sync.

  • Users And Library Access

    Manage multiple users with per-library access control.

  • Collections, Read Lists And Metadata

    Organize with collections and read lists, and edit series and book metadata.

  • Claim Page, Then Login Required

    Once the administrator is claimed, a second claim is refused and the API returns 401 without a login.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!
Brian Geovanny
I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.
Kevin Pineda
I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.
Dumitru Butucel
xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar Ahmed
Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul Singh
So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.
Massimo Villa
Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson El
I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony Lewis
I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowell
I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin Heinrichs
I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan Spinoza
Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Is Komga free and open source?

Yes. Komga is MIT licensed and its source is public, so the server software is free. xCloud charges for the dedicated Cloud VPS. The template adds no paid Komga edition and ships no comics, so you bring the files you own.

Can I run Komga with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Komga Docker hosting without the assembly. It starts the ghcr.io/gotson/komga 1.29.0 image, pinned by digest, as one container, proxies port 25600 behind HTTPS and mounts the komga_config and komga_data volumes.

How much RAM does Komga need?

The manifest floor is 512 MB of RAM, one core and 5 GB of disk, and upstream states no minimum. A Komga cloud install on the 6 GB Cloud VPS sold here has headroom. For very large libraries, raise the Java heap in the Environment editor.

Who can claim my Komga server?

Until an account exists, anyone who reaches the URL can claim the server and become its administrator. Open the site as soon as it loads and create the account on the claim page. After that, every page requires a login and library files are served only to signed-in users.

How do I add comics to Komga?

Komga has no upload feature. Copy your comics and books into the komga_data volume, mounted at /data in the container. In Komga add a library with the folder /data or a subfolder, then run a scan. Do not change the server port or base path.

Does Komga work with Kobo and KOReader?

Upstream lists Kobo Sync with your Kobo eReader and KOReader Sync among Komga's features. Set them up inside Komga after you sign in, using your own domain as the address. This page does not test particular devices or firmware versions.

Does Komga have an OPDS feed?

Yes. Upstream lists OPDS v1 and v2 support, so e-reader apps that speak OPDS can browse your libraries. Point the app at your domain and sign in with a Komga account. Library files are served only to signed-in users.

How do I back up Komga?

Back up both volumes together: komga_config for the database, users, read progress, settings and search index, and komga_data for your library files. Stop Komga before copying, keep the config on local disk because SQLite uses write-ahead logging, and restore both to their original paths.

How do I update Komga?

Your install stays on its pinned 1.29.0 version until you adopt a newer template version. Back up both volumes first and read the Komga release notes. Afterwards sign in, run a library scan and open a book to confirm reading progress is intact.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
