Would you share your dot files for this one too? Thanks!

Thanks for this, I have a similar setup and looking to migrate from Kavita -> Komga + iPad reader. For Paperback, does syncing read progress actually work to/from Komga? In the Komga instructions for syncing it directs me to install a custom Paperback tracker that only works for v.0.7 (and Paperback is currently v.0.8).

Ha yes, once! I just used Balena Etcher and it worked exactly as expected.

Happy to help! There’s plenty of other options too (e.g., SSD) as folks mentioned, but this works well out of the box with no additional hardware. SD has been absolutely fine for my use (Pi-Hole), while still requiring maximum uptime so the family doesn’t riot if the internet is out.

Another option is to use Image File Utilities on the Pi to create an image backup. You can use cron + a bash script to create incremental backups using the tool (e.g., take a ‘fresh’ backup each month, with daily incremental backups in between). I mount a network ‘backup’ drive (a local NAS, but you could use anything) to save the image to so I can actually access it. Then, just use balena etcher to flash the backup iso in the event of a failure.

• And a backup script + cron entry: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2199452&hilit=cron#p2199452

Check out Tranga as a direct replacement to Kaizoku. Works nicely with Komga and/or Kavita as a reader. Add Komf to the mix for metadata management, nice covers, etc.

On iOS Paperback works as a free reader that can sync with Komga/Kavita

As OP mentioned this setup kind if like Plex but for Manga
