Stump is a free and open source comics, manga and digital book server with OPDS support, created with Rust, Axum, Prisma and React.

🚧 Disclaimer 🚧: Stump is under active development and is an ongoing WIP. Anyone is welcome to try it out, but DO NOT expect a fully featured or bug-free experience. If you'd like to contribute and help expedite Stump's first release, please review the developer guide.

Roadmap 🗺

The following items are the major targets for Stump's first release:

• 📃 Full OPDS + OPDS Page Streaming support
• 📕 EPUB, PDF, and CBZ/CBR support
• 📚 Organize libraries with collections and reading lists
• 🔐 Granular access-control with managed user accounts
• 🚀 Easy setup and deployment using Docker or bare metal
• 👀 Fully responsive, built-in UI with a dark mode
• 🏃 Low resource utilization with excellent performance
• 🧰 Easily consumable and documented REST API, so community tools and scripts can interact with Stump
• 🌏 Language support (look here)
• 🌈 And more!

Things you can expect to see after the first release:

• 🖥️ Cross-platform desktop app (Windows, Mac, Linux)
• 📖 Tachiyomi support
• 📱 In-house mobile app (Android, iOS)
• 🔎 Versitile full-text search (blocked by prisma#9414)
• 👥 Configurable book clubs (see this issue)

Feel free to reach out if you have anything else you'd like to see!

Getting Started 🚀

Stump isn't ready for normal usage yet. To give it a spin, it is recommended to try the nightly Docker image. If you're interested in development, or trying it from source, you can follow the developer guide.

For more information about getting started, check out the guides available on the Stump website.

Developer Guide 💻

Contributions are very welcome! Please review the CONTRIBUTING.md before getting started.

A quick summary of the steps required to get going:

1. Install yarn, rust and node.

   • If you're running Windows, you will need Visual C++
   • If you're running macOS on Apple Silicon, you'll need to install Rosetta

2. Install cargo-watch

3. Run the setup script:

   ./scripts/system-setup.sh

   This isn't strictly necessary, and is mostly beneficial for Linux users (it installs some system dependencies). Feel free to skip this step if you'd like, and instead just run:

   yarn run setup

   This will build the React app, generate the Prisma client, and generate the Rust-TypeScript types. To do any of these individually, you can run:

   # build the React app
   yarn web build
   # generate the Prisma client and Rust-TypeScript types
   cargo codegen # or cargo prisma generate --schema=./core/prisma/schema.prisma for just the Prisma client

4. Start one of the apps:

   A few example commands are:

   # run the webapp + server
   yarn dev:web
   # run the desktop app + server
   yarn start:desktop
   # run the docs website
   yarn docs dev

   Or just cargo for the server (and other Rust apps):

   cargo run --package stump_server --bin stump_server

And that's it!

Where to start?

If you aren't sure where to start, I recommend taking a look at open issues. You can also check out the current project board to see what's actively being worked on or planned.

In general, the following areas are good places to start:

• Translation, so Stump is accessible to as many people as possible
  • Crowdin is used for translations
• Writing comprehensive tests
• Designing and/improving UI/UX
• Docker build optimizations, caching, etc
• CI pipelines, automated releases and release notes, etc
• And lots more!
