Banana

Banana is a self-hosted manga reader. It meets my expectations of what a decent, online manga reader should look like. Most applications I've been using over the years always fail to provide a good reading experience.

Banana is built with Phoenix and the Manga Scraper API.

Development

Application dependencies

Before anything else, make sure that you have the following installed:

• Elixir
• PostgreSQL
• NodeJS

Setup

To set up this application you need an account in Mashape marketplace. Create your account and create an application inside it. Add the Manga Scraper api to your application. Take the application's test key and put it in config/dev.secret.exs (there is sample file in the config folder). In production, the key will be read from the environment variable MANGA_API_KEY. See config/prod.exs for more details.

In development, the username and password for PostgreSQL will be read from the environment variables DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD.

After, install the dependencies with mix deps.get. Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate. Install node dependencies with npm install.

Run

• Run the tests with mix test
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phoenix.server. Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Production

Basic auth is enabled in production. You need to define the environment variables AUTH_USERNAME and AUTH_PASSWORD. You should also use the production key from Mashape instead of the test key setup in development. Finally, you need an environment variable HOST with your application's domain.
