Kumiho

Kumiho is a self-hosted web media server built in Go, designed to manage and stream personal collections of comics, manga, webtoons, ebooks, and audiobooks. It mirrors your existing folder structure directly — no complex metadata matching, no library reorganisation required.

Key features include a responsive webtoon/manga viewer with scrolling modes, audiobook support with chapter lists, resume playback, bookmarks, and a sleep timer, and support for archive formats like CBZ and ZIP alongside EPUB, PDF, and plain-text files. Being Go-native, it runs as a lightweight binary with minimal memory footprint, making it ideal for home servers and low-resource environments.

Compared to ComiXology/Kindle Comics, Kumiho runs entirely on your own hardware — no subscriptions, no DRM, no cloud dependency. You own the files and control access. Deploy it via Docker for the easiest setup.
