Gopherbook
Your self-hosted comic library & CBZ/CBT reader!
Hi! I'm Vinny! (Vincent Van Goph)
Welcome to Gopherbook! I'll help you organize and read all your favorite comics. Drop your CBZ and CBT files here, and I'll keep them safe and organized!
Encrypted!
Password-protected comics? No problem! I remember all your passwords so you don't have to enter them every time. AES-256 encryption keeps everything secure!
Auto Organize
Just drop comics in the watch folder and I'll automatically sort them by Artist and Story Arc. No more messy folders!
Tag System
Create custom tags with colors! Filter your collection any way you want. Find that one comic you're looking for instantly!
Multi-User
Everyone gets their own library! First person to sign up becomes admin. Keep your collections separate and private!
Super Fast
Single binary, no database! Everything stored in simple JSON files. Loads in seconds and uses minimal resources!
Great Reader
Full-screen mode, zoom, keyboard shortcuts, bookmarks, and page preloading. Reading comics has never been smoother!
