# 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.
## Is this application usable? Should I test it?
Here is a list of current features:
- Installing and executing Tachiyomi's Extensions, So you'll get the same sources.
- A library to save your mangas and categories to put them into.
- Searching and browsing installed sources.
- A minimal chapter reader.
- Ability to download Mangas for offline read(This partially works)
**Note:** Keep in mind that Tachidesk is alpha software and can break rarely and/or with each update, so you may have to delete your data to fix it. See [General troubleshooting](#general-troubleshooting) and [Support and help](#support-and-help) if it happens.
Anyways, for more info checkout [finished milestone #1](https://github.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk/issues/2) and [milestone #2](https://github.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk/projects/1) to see what's implemented in more detail.
## Downloading and Running the app
### All Operating Systems
You should have The Java Runtime Environment(JRE) 8 or newer and a modern browser installed. Also an internet connection is required as almost everything this app does is downloading stuff.
Download the latest jar release from [the releases section](https://github.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk/releases).
Double click on the jar file or run `java -jar Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar` from a Terminal/Command Prompt window to run the app which will open a new browser window automatically. Also the System Tray Icon is your friend if you need to open the browser window again or close Tachidesk.
### Windows
Download the latest win32 release from [the releases section](https://github.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk/releases).
The Windows specific build has java bundled inside, so you don't have to install java to use it. Unzip `Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx-win32.zip` and run `server.exe`. The rest works like the previous section.
### Arch Linux
You can install Tachidesk from the AUR
```
yay -S tachidesk
```
### Docker
Check [arbuilder's repo](https://github.com/arbuilder/Tachidesk-docker) out for more details and the dockerfile.
## General troubleshooting
If the app breaks try deleting the directory below and re-running the app (**This will delete all your data!**) and if the problem persists open an issue.
On Mac OS X : `/Users/<Account>/Library/Application Support/Tachidesk`
On Windows XP : `C:\Documents and Settings\<Account>\Application Data\Local Settings\Tachidesk`
On Windows 7 and later : `C:\Users\<Account>\AppData\Local\Tachidesk`
On Unix/Linux : `/home/<account>/.local/share/Tachidesk`
## Support and help

## 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.
## Building from source
### Prerequisite: Get Android stubs jar
#### Manual download
Download [android.jar](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk/android-jar/android.jar) and put it under `AndroidCompat/lib`.
#### Automated download(needs `bash`, `curl`, `base64`, `zip` to work)
Run `AndroidCompat/getAndroid.sh`(MacOS/Linux) or `AndroidCompat/getAndroid.ps1`(Windows) from project's root directory to download and rebuild the jar file from Google's repository.
### Prerequisite: Software dependencies
You need this software packages installed in order to build this project:
- Java Development Kit and Java Runtime Environment version 8 or newer(both Oracle JDK and OpenJDK works)
- Nodejs LTS or latest
- Yarn
### building the full-blown jar
Run `./gradlew server:shadowJar`, the resulting built jar file will be `server/build/Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar`.
### building without `webUI` bundled
Delete the `server/src/main/resources/react` directory if exists from previous runs, then run `./gradlew server:shadowJar -x :webUI:copyBuild`, the resulting built jar file will be `server/build/Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar`.
### building the Windows package
Run `./gradlew windowsPackage`, the resulting built zip package file will be `server/build/Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx-win32.zip`.
## Running for development purposes
### `server` module
Follow [Get Android stubs jar](#prerequisite-get-android-stubs-jar) then 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.
