Additional Configurations

Reverse Proxy

Example Apache Config

<Location />
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} Upgrade [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]
    RewriteRule /(.*) ws://127.0.0.1:9000/$1 [P,L]

    ProxyPass "http://localhost:9000/"
    ProxyPassReverse "http://localhost:9000/"
</Location>

Example Nginx Config

location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9000/;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}

Systemd Service

You can follow the steps below to run Mango as a systemd service

1. Make sure you have the mango binary installed at /usr/local/bin/mango.
2. Create a file named mango.service at /etc/systemd/user with the following content

[Unit]
Description=Mango manga server
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mango

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

3. Enable the service by running systemctl --user enable mango.service.
4. Now you can start Mango using systemctl --user start mango.

Base URL

You should customize the base_url setting in the config file if you wish to serve Mango under a base URL. For example, if you want to access Mango at domain.tdl/mango, set base_url to /mango and configure your web server accordingly. If you are using Nginx, you can use

location /mango/ {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9000/;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}

Environment Variables

• HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY: Specify the HTTP/HTTPS proxies to use when making out-going requests (e.g., when downloading from MangaDex)
• NO_PROXY: Specify a comma-separated list of hosts that should be connected directly without using proxies
• DISABLE_SSL_VERIFICATION: When set to 1 or true, disable the SSL verification for all out-going requests

MangaDex Rename Rules

You can customize the naming rules of manga and chapters downloaded from MangaDex using the chapter_rename_rule and manga_rename_rule fields in the mangadex config section. Here we explain the terminologies.

Variables: keywords that can be used in the renaming rules.

Available variables for manga:

Variable	Example
id	7139
title	One Punch-Man
author	ONE
artist	Murata Yuusuke

Available variables for chapters:

Variable	Example	Optional
id	867036	No
title	Won't Lose	Yes
volume	2	Yes
chapter	131	Yes
lang_code	en	No
language	English	No
pages	25	No
groups	r/OnePunchMan	No

Patterns: Variables can only be used in a pattern with the {variable} syntax. Using the above example, {title} will be expanded to Won't Lose. If the captured variable is optional and is empty, the pattern will be expanded to an empty string.

You can include multiple variables in a single pattern and separate them with |. Mango will first attempt to expand the pattern using the first variable. If it's empty, Mango would attempt to use the second variable, and so on. If all the variables are empty, the pattern will be expanded to en empty string. Using the above example, {title | id} will be expanded to Won't Lose because the title field is not empty. If it's empty, the pattern will be expanded to 867036.

Groups: Patterns and regular strings can be grouped into a group using the [] syntax. If any included pattern is empty, the whole group will be expanded to an empty string.

For example, the group [Ch.{chapter}] will be expanded to Ch.131 if chapter is 131. If chapter is empty, the group will be expanded to an empty string.

Rename Rule: A rename rule is built with any number of groups, patterns, and regular strings. To illustrate, let's take a look at the default rename rule for MangaDex chapters:

[Vol.{volume} ][Ch.{chapter} ]{title|id}

If volume, chapter, and title are all non-empty, it will be expanded to something like Vol.2 Ch.131 Won't Lose, and the chapter will be downloaded as a file named Vol.2 Ch.131 Won't Lose.cbz. If volume is empty, the rule will be expanded to Ch.131 Won't Lose.
