Comix-server is a PHP-based AirComix Server acting just as the Windows version. Originally it was written to run on the Synology NAS. However, it can run on any platforms where HTTP/PHP Server runs, such as Ubuntu Linux or OS X.
Comix-server is only compatible with iOS AirComix app.
- put index.php to your web directory (you should use web document root)

Q) Which file formats are supported?
A) Comix-server supports archive formats such as ZIP and CBZ.
Also it supports most image formats such as JPG, GIF, PNG, and TIFF.
Q) Does comix-server support RAR or CBR format?
A) Depends. Your system needs PHP extension for RAR. On Linux, you can easily install it (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/rar.installation.php for more details), but on Synology DSM, it seems very hard to install it. Please let me know if you find a way!
Q) Do I need to uncompress ZIP or CBZ files?
A) No. Like Windows version, just put them in your manga directory.
However, comix-server does not handle double-zipped files.
Q) Can I have multiple directories under my manga directory?
A) Yes. You can make any directory structure.
One restriction is that image files can be only in a leaf directory,
which does not have any child directory.
Q) How can I change the port number?
A) configure your nginx.
Q) How can I change the manga directory?
A) See comments index.php, $parent_path = "manga";
Q) Does comix-server support password protection?
A) Yes, using Apache's basic authentication mechanism. Refer to
http://www.cs.duke.edu/csl/faqs/web/basic-auth to know how to
configure it. Note that the user name must be AirComix (case
sensitve) and .htaccess file should be in /var/services/web/comix where
handler.php exists. If there is no htpasswd util in your system,
you can create the password file on other machines and copy it to
your system.
Q) I cannot see some files under the manga directory. What is the problem?
A) If you have a directory which contains image files as well as ZIP files,
move image files (or ZIP files) to another directory.
A single directory can have multiple image files or multiple ZIP files,
but not both.
