I guess I'll have to look into self hosting my library again on my server. Any tips for which software/stack to run?

Support for downloading from most major sources going forwards like Mangaplus and various aggregators (and I guess scraping out the last data from Mangadex before it's gone) is important. Or some other kind of automation for updating and downloading new chapters on release and other metadata.

Preferably something headless running in Docker (web GUI optional), and the ability to sync to Mihon is crucial. I've been looking at Kavita, Komga, and Suwayomi but haven't decided yet.

Kotatsu has a cli-only downloader, and it's used to download manga directly from sites in Kotatsu
