Need Help Installing Kavita

[maximo1984]

Idea Description

I had issues prior with Kavita not scanning in new titles when I did a "scan library" or "force scan". So I decided to try and install fresh from docker. I followed all the steps but was unable to figure out what the path was to an internal drive where my files are when writing the "nano docker-compose.yml" file. So I opted to use the other route by downloading the tar.gz file for my distro (Ubuntu), unzipping it and starting fresh as I did originally. however, when I go to the 5000 port, I get this message.

Any help would be appreciated. I've been a $10 a month contributor for a couple months now, but have been unable to use it. If I cannot get it going, I'll have to just part ways.

Thanks

In my opinion, I believe it may still be loading from the docker but I am not sure. I attempted to uninstall docker using "docker stop kavita" and "docker rm kavita" but I just get errors. "permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Delete "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/kavitas": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied
"

That is indeed loading the docker image from the old registry.

Please try sudo docker stop kavita

Or just update the image to jvmilazz0/kavita:latest

How can I update the image? I followed the link but it wasn't very clear what exactly to do.

It's not clear how you initially set up kavita via docker. Did you use docker run... or did you use docker compose? If docker run you'd need to remove the old container and rerun the docker run command editing the volumes as appropriate.

It's all good, sudo prefix worked. Started traditional way. Library scanning in now.
