# Tachidesk
A free and open source manga reader that runs extensions built for [Tachiyomi](https://tachiyomi.org/).
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 do I run the thing?
#### Prerequisites
You should have java 8 or newer and a modern browser installed. Also an internet connection is required as almost everything this app does is downloading stuff.
#### Running pre-built jar packages
Download the latest (or a working more stable) release from [the repo branch](https://github.com/AriaMoradi/Tachidesk/tree/repo) or obtain it from [the releases section](https://github.com/AriaMoradi/Tachidesk/releases).
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.
#### Running on Docker
Check [arbuilder's repo](https://github.com/arbuilder/Tachidesk-docker) out for more details and the dockerfile.
## Building from source
### Get Android stubs jar
#### Manual download
Download [android.jar](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AriaMoradi/Tachidesk/android-jar/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?
If you'd ask me, I'd tell you If you want to read your manga **online** from tachiyomi or in one place and bypass all the ads, you can use Tachidesk.
There are almost no quality of life features, including no library, no downloading for offline enjoyment and sadly no MangaDex search.
Anyways, for more info checkout [finished milestone #1](https://github.com/AriaMoradi/Tachidesk/issues/2) and [milestone #2](https://github.com/AriaMoradi/Tachidesk/projects/1) to see what's implemented.
## How does it work?
This project has two components:
1. **server:** contains the implementation of [tachiyomi's extensions library](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/extensions-lib) and uses an Android compatibility library to run apk extensions. All this concludes to serving a REST API to `webUI`.
2. **webUI:** A react SPA project that works with the server to do the presentation.
