Mangatsu

🌕 Server application for storing, tagging and reading doujinshi, manga, art collections and other galleries with API access and user control. Written in Go. The name, Mangatsu, is a play on Japanese words mangetsu (満月, full moon) and manga (漫画, comic).

📰 CHANGELOG | ❤ CONTRIBUTING

At experimental stage until version 1.0.0. Expect breaking changes.

📌 Features

• Organizing and tagging local (and remote, with tools like rclone) collections of manga, doujinshi and other art
  • Mangatsu will never do any writes inside specified locations.
  • Supports ZIP (or CBZ), RAR (or CBR), 7z and plain image (png, jpg, jpeg, webp, avif, heif, gif, tiff, bmp) files.
  • PDF and video support is planned.
• Metadata parsing from filenames and JSON files (inside or beside the archive)
  • Support for more sources is planned such as TXT files from EH/ExH
• API-access to the collection and archives
  • Extensive filtering, sorting and searching capabilities
  • Additional features for registered users such as tracking reading progress and adding favorite groups. Currently only in API, not in UI.
• User access control
  • Private: only logged-in users can access the collection and archives (public registration disabled by default).
  • Restricted: users need a global passphrase to access collection and its galleries
  • Public: anyone can access (only read) collection and its galleries
  • Assignable roles (admin, member, viewer), and login sessions (can be managed through web)
• Local cache and thumbnail support. File server can be disabled to allow web servers like NGINX to handle the files.
