Stump is a self-hosted media server for managing and reading comic books, manga, ebooks and other digital books.
Built with Rust, Axum, SeaORM and React, it provides a browser-based interface and OPDS access so you can serve a personal library to compatible reading clients. The project is still under active development, so it’s best treated as a promising work in progress rather than a finished media server.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Manages libraries of comics, manga, EPUB, PDF, CBZ and CBR files.
- Provides OPDS support for browsing a digital library from compatible reader applications.
- Includes a responsive web interface with dark mode.
- Supports collections and reading lists for organising books.
- Offers managed user accounts with granular access control.
- Can be deployed with Docker or installed on bare metal.
- Provides a documented REST API for community tools and scripts.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
