Tachidesk
A free and open source manga reader that runs extensions built for Tachiyomi.
Tachidesk is as multi-platform as you can get. Any platform that runs java and/or has a modern browser can run it.
Ability to read and write Tachiyomi compatible backups and syncing is a planned feature.
How does it work?
This project has two components:
- server: contains the implementation of tachiyomi's extensions library and uses an Android compatibility library to run apk extensions. All this concludes to serving a REST API to
webUI. - webUI: A react SPA project that works with the server to do the presentation.
How do I run the thing?
Running pre-built jar packages
Download the latest (or a working more stable) release from the repo branch or obtain it from the releases section.
Double click on the jar file or run java -jar Tachidesk-latest.jar or java -jar Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar
The server will be running on http://localhost:4567 open this url in your browser.
Building from source
Get Android stubs jar
Manual download
Download android.jar and put it under AndroidCompat/lib.
Building from source(needs bash, curl, base64, zip to work)
Run scripts/getAndroid.sh from project's root directory to download and rebuild the jar file from Google's repository.
building the jar
Run ./gradlew shadowJar the resulting built jar file will be server/build/Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar.
Running for development purposes
server module
Run ./gradlew :server:run -x :webUI:copyBuild --stacktrace to run the server
webUI module
How to do it is described in webUI/react/README.md but for short,
first cd into webUI/react then run yarn to install the node modules(do this only once)
then yarn start to start the client if a new browser window doesn't start automatically,
then open http://127.0.0.1:3000 in a modern browser. This is a create-react-app project
and supports HMR and all the other goodies you'll need.
Is this application usable? Should I test it?
