Common questions

Does Koillection automatically download metadata for items?

No, it does not include pre-built metadata download. You can tailor your own HTML scrape to get metadata.

Is Koillection compatible with MariaDB?

Reports about MariaDB compatibility are conflicting. Check the database compatibility before installing.

How are collections and items organized in Koillection?

It works like a directory or file system. You can add any number of collections and then add as many items as needed inside them.

Do I need an image for every item?

No, images are not required for every item. The app is still built around visual collections, and images are the main way to identify items.
