Important notes

Stars/license checked 2026-10-24 on the GitHub repo page. Official documentation publishes no minimum hardware — 官方未标明，均为估算; the official Docker page notes the Java process is by default limited to a maximum of usually 1GB of memory (adjustable via JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Xmx), which anchors the RAM estimate for this JVM app. The /config folder must be on a local filesystem, not a network share, per official docs. Disk scales with the comics library and thumbnails, excluded from the estimate baseline.
