[![Patreon](https://img.shields.io/badge/support-patreon-brightgreen?link=https://www.patreon.com/hkalexling)](https://www.patreon.com/hkalexling) ![Build](https://github.com/hkalexling/Mango/workflows/Build/badge.svg) [![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/mango-cr/mango.svg)](https://gitter.im/mango-cr/mango?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge)

Mango is a self-hosted manga server and reader. Its features include

- Multi-user support
- Dark/light mode switch
- Supports both `.zip` and `.cbz` formats
- Supports nested folders in library
- Automatically stores reading progress
- Built-in [MangaDex](https://mangadex.org/) downloader
- The web reader is responsive and works well on mobile, so there is no need for a mobile app
- All the static files are embedded in the binary, so the deployment process is easy and painless

## Installation

### Pre-built Binary

Simply download the pre-built binary file `mango` for the latest [release](https://github.com/hkalexling/Mango/releases). All the dependencies are statically linked, and it should work with most Linux systems on amd64.

### Docker

1. Make sure you have docker installed and running. You will also need `docker-compose`
2. Clone the repository
3. Copy the `env.example` file to `.env`
4. Fill out the values in the `.env` file. Note that the main and config directories will be created if they don't already exist. The files in these folders will be owned by the root user
5. Run `docker-compose up`. This should build the docker image and start the container with Mango running inside
6. Head over to `localhost:9000` (or a different port if you changed it) to log in

### Docker (via Dockerhub)

The official docker images are available on [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/hkalexling/mango). 

### Build from source

1. Make sure you have `crystal`, `shards` and `yarn` installed. You might also need to install the development headers for `libsqlite3` and `libyaml`.
2. Clone the repository
3. `make && sudo make install`
4. Start Mango by running the command `mango`
5. Head over to `localhost:9000` to log in

## Usage

### CLI

```
Mango e-manga server/reader. Version 0.4.0

    -v, --version                    Show version
    -h, --help                       Show help
    -c PATH, --config=PATH           Path to the config file. Default is `~/.config/mango/config.yml`
```

### Config

The default config file location is `~/.config/mango/config.yml`. It might be different if you are running Mango in a docker container. The config options and default values are given below

```yaml
---
port: 9000
base_url: /
library_path: ~/mango/library
db_path: ~/mango/mango.db
scan_interval_minutes: 5
log_level: info
upload_path: ~/mango/uploads
mangadex:
  base_url: https://mangadex.org
  api_url: https://mangadex.org/api
  download_wait_seconds: 5
  download_retries: 4
  download_queue_db_path: ~/mango/queue.db
  chapter_rename_rule: '[Vol.{volume} ][Ch.{chapter} ]{title|id}'
  manga_rename_rule: '{title}'
```

- `scan_interval_minutes` can be any non-negative integer. Setting it to `0` disables the periodic scan
- `log_level` can be `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, `fatal` or `off`. Setting it to `off` disables the logging

### Library Structure

You can organize your `.cbz/.zip` files in nested folders in the library directory. Here's an example:

```
.
├── Manga 1
│   ├── Volume 1.cbz
│   ├── Volume 2.cbz
│   ├── Volume 3.cbz
│   └── Volume 4.zip
└── Manga 2
    └── Vol. 1
        └── Ch.1 - Ch.3
            ├── 1.zip 
            ├── 2.zip 
            └── 3.zip
```

### Initial Login

On the first run, Mango would log the default username and a randomly generated password to STDOUT. You are advised to immediately change the password.
