Komga vs audiobookshelf

Komga and Audiobookshelf are both self-hosted open-source servers for personal media libraries. They are installed in a Docker container and can be accessed via web interface in a local network. They can extract metadata and covers from files, allow to create collections and manage library, configure user permissions.

But Komga is primarily focused on comics, manga and graphic novels. It supports reading directly in the browser, integrates with Android apps Komf and Tachiyomi for mobile reading, imports books from ComicVine and AniList, supports CBR, CBZ, PDF and EPUB and features a convenient volume and series structure (which is important for manga).

Audiobookshelf is primarily focused on audiobooks and podcasts. It has a built-in web player that saves listening progress, supports chapters and bookmarks, provides sleep timer, can import metadata from OpenLibrary and Audible, supports MP3, M4B and other audio formats, has its own mobile app with offline access and allows streaming content via HTTPS outside of the local network.
