+ english
+
+I've been wanting to set up a manga media server to hoard some mangas/comics and access them via Tachiyomi, but I didn't have enough space in my vultr VPS. Now that I have symmetric fiber optic at home and my spare PC to use as a server I decided to go ahead and create one. As always, ==i use arch btw== so these instructions are specifically for it, I'm not sure how easier/harder it is for other distros, I'm just too comfortable with arch honestly.
+
+I'm going to run it as an exposed service using a subdomain of my own, so the steps are taking that into account, if you want to run it locally (or on a LAN/VPN) then it is going to be easier/with less steps (you're on your own). Also, as you might notice I don't like to use D\*ck\*r images or anything (ew).
+
+As always, all commands are run as root unless stated otherwise.
+
+# Table of contents
+
+[TOC]
+
+# Prerequisites
+
+Similar to my early [tutorial](https://blog.luevano.xyz/tag/@tutorial.html) entries, if you want it as a subdomain:
+
+- An **A** (and/or **AAAA**) or a **CNAME** for `komga` (or whatever you want).
+- An SSL certificate, if you're following the other entries (specially the [website](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/website_with_nginx.html) entry), add a `komga.conf` and run `certbot --nginx` (or similar) to extend/create the certificate. More details below: [Reverse proxy](#reverse-proxy) and [SSL certificate](#ssl-certificate).
+
+# AUR - yay
+
+This is the first time I mention the **AUR** (and `yay`) in my entries, so I might as well just write a bit about it.
+
+The [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/) is the **A**rch Linux **U**ser **R**epository and it's basically like an extension of the official one which is supported by the community, the only thing is that it requires a different package manager. The one I use (and I think everyone does, too) is `yay`, which as far as I know is like a wrapper of `pacman`.
+
+## Install
+
+To install and use `yay` we need a normal account with sudo access, ==all the commands related to `yay` are run as normal user and then it asks for sudo password==. [Installation](https://github.com/Jguer/yay#installation) its straight forward: clone `yay` repo and install. Only dependencies are `git` and `base-devel`:
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```sh
+sudo pacman -S git base-devel
+```
+
+Clone `yay` and install it (I also like to delete the cloned git repo):
+
+```sh
+git clone git@github.com:Jguer/yay.git
+cd yay
+makepkg -si
+cd ..
+sudo rm -r yay
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+`yay` is used basically the same as `pacman` with the difference that it is run as normal user (then later requiring sudo password) and that it asks extra input when installing something, such as if we want to build the package from source or if we want to show package diffs.
+
+To install a package (for example Komga in this blog entry), run:
+
+```sh
+yay -S komga
+```
+
+# Komga
+
+[Komga](https://komga.org/) is a comics/mangas media server.
+
+Install from the AUR:
+
+```sh
+yay -S komga
+```
+
+This `komga` package creates a `komga` (service) user and group which is tied to the also included `komga.service`.
+
+Configure it by editing `/etc/komga.conf`:
+
+```conf
+SERVER_PORT=8989
+SERVER_SERVLET_CONTEXT_PATH=/ # this depends a lot of how it's going to be served (domain, subdomain, ip, etc)
+
+KOMGA_LIBRARIES_SCAN_CRON="0 0 * * * ?"
+KOMGA_LIBRARIES_SCAN_STARTUP=false
+KOMGA_LIBRARIES_SCAN_DIRECTORY_EXCLUSIONS='#recycle,@eaDir,@Recycle'
+KOMGA_FILESYSTEM_SCANNER_FORCE_DIRECTORY_MODIFIED_TIME=false
+KOMGA_REMEMBERME_KEY=USE-WHATEVER-YOU-WANT-HERE
+KOMGA_REMEMBERME_VALIDITY=2419200
+
+KOMGA_DATABASE_BACKUP_ENABLED=true
+KOMGA_DATABASE_BACKUP_STARTUP=true
+KOMGA_DATABASE_BACKUP_SCHEDULE="0 0 */8 * * ?"
+```
+
+My changes (shown above):
+
+- Port on `8989` because `8080` its too generic.
+- `cron` schedules
+ - It's not actually `cron` but rather a `cron`-like syntax used by [Spring](https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/scheduling/support/CronSequenceGenerator.html) as stated in the [Komga config](https://komga.org/installation/configuration.html#optional-configuration).
+- Added the remember me key.
+- For more check out [Komga: Configuration options](https://komga.org/installation/configuration.html).
+
+If you're going to run it locally (or LAN/VPN) you can start the `komga.service` and access it via IP at `http://<your-server-ip>:<port>(/base_url)` as stated at [Komga: Accessing the web interface](https://komga.org/installation/webui.html), else continue with the next steps for the reverse proxy and certificate.
+
+## Reverse proxy
+
+Create the reverse proxy configuration (this is for `nginx`). In my case I'll use a subdomain, so this is a new config called `komga.conf` at the usual `sites-available/enabled` path:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+ listen 80;
+ server_name komga.yourdomain.com; # change accordingly to your wanted subdomain and domain name
+
+ location / {
+ proxy_pass http://localhost:8989; # change 8989 to the port you want to use
+
+ proxy_set_header Host $host;
+ proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+
+ proxy_read_timeout 600s;
+ proxy_send_timeout 600s;
+ }
+}
+```
+
+If it's going to be used as a subdir on another domain then just change the `location` (with `/subdir` instead of `/`) directive to the corresponding `.conf` file; be careful with the `proxy_pass` directive, it has to match what you configured at `/etc/komga.conf` for the `SERVER_SERVLET_CONTEXT_PATH` regardless of the `/subdir` you selected at `location`.
+
+## SSL certificate
+
+If using a subdir then the same certificate for the subdomain/domain should work fine and no extra stuff is needed, else if following along me then we can create/extend the certificate by running:
+
+```sh
+certbot --nginx
+```
+
+That will automatically detect the new subdomain config and create/extend your existing certificate(s). In my case I manage each certificate's subdomain:
+
+```sh
+certbot --nginx -d domainname.com -d subdomain.domainname.com -d komga.domainname.com
+```
+
+## Starting using Komga
+
+We can now `start`/`enable` the `komga.service`:
+
+```sh
+systemctl enable komga.service
+systemctl start komga.service
+```
+
+And access the web interface at `https://komga.domainname.com` which should show the login page for Komga. The first time it will ask to create an account as shown in [Komga: Create user account](https://komga.org/installation/webui.html#create-user-account), this will be an admin account. Fill in the email and password (can be changed later). The email doesn't have to be an actual email, for now it's just for management purposes.
+
+Next thing would be to add any extra account (for read-only/download manga permissions), add/import libraries, etc.. For now I'll leave it here until we start downloading manga on the next steps.
+
+## Library creation
+
+Creating a library is as simple as creating a directory somewhere and point to it in Komga. The folowing examples are for my use case, change accordingly. I'll be using `/mnt/d/mangal` for my library:
+
+```sh
+mkdir /mnt/d/mangal
+```
+
+Where I chose the name `mangal` as its the name of the downloader/scrapper I'm going to use, it could be anything, this is just how I like to organize stuff.
+
+For the most part, the permissions don't matter much (as long as it's readable by the `komga` user) unless you want to delete some manga, then `komga` user also needs write permissions.
+
+Then just create the library in Komga web interface (the `+` sign next to *Libraries*), choose a name *"Mangal"* and point to the root folder `/mnt/d/mangal`, then just click *Next*, *Next* and *Add* for the defaults (that's how I've been using it so far). This is well explained at [Komga: Libraries](https://komga.org/guides/libraries.html).
+
+The real important part (for me) is the permissions of the `/mnt/d/mangal` directory, as I want to have write access for `komga` so I can manage from the web interface itself. It looks like it's just a matter of giving ownership to the `komga` user either for owner or for group (or to all for that matter), but since I'm going to use a separate user to download manga then I need to choose carefully.
+
+### Set default directory permissions
+
+The desired behaviour is: set `komga` as group ownership, set write access to group and whenever a new directory/file is created, inherit these permission settings. I found out via [this](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/1315) stack exchange answer how to do it. So, for me:
+
+```sh
+chown manga-dl:komga /mnt/d/mangal # required for group ownership for komga
+chmod g+s /mnt/d/mangal # required for group permission inheritance
+setfacl -d -m g::rwx /mnt/d/mangal # default permissions for group
+setfacl -d -m o::rx /mnt/d/mangal # default permissions for other (as normal, I think this command can be excluded)
+```
+
+Where `manga-dl` is the user I created to download manga with. Optionally add `-R` flag to those 4 commands in case it already has subdirectories/files (this might mess file permissions, but it's not an issue as far as I konw).
+
+Checking that the permissions are set correctly (`getfacl /mnt/d/mangal`):
+
+```
+getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
+# file: mnt/d/mangal
+# owner: manga-dl
+# group: komga
+# flags: -s-
+user::rwx
+group::rwx
+other::r-x
+default:user::rwx
+default:group::rwx
+default:other::r-x
+```
+
+You can then check by creating a new subdirectory (in `/mnt/d/mangal`) and it should have the same group permissions.
+
+# mangal
+
+[mangal](https://github.com/metafates/mangal) is a cli/tui manga downloader with anilist integration and custom Lua scrapers.
+
+Similar to Komga, you could install it from the AUR with `yay`:
+
+```sh
+yay -S mangal-bin
+```
+
+But I'll use my [fork](https://github.com/luevano/mangal) as it contains some fixes and extra stuff.
+
+## Install from source
+
+As I mentioned in my past [entry](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/learned_go_and_lua_hard_way.html) I had to [fork](https://github.com/luevano/mangal) `mangal` and related repositories to fix/change a few things. Currently the major fix I did in `mangal` is for the built in [MangaDex](https://mangadex.org/) scraper which had really annoying bug in the chunking of the manga chapter listing.
+
+So instad of installing with `yay` we'll build it from source. We need to have `go` installed:
+
+```sh
+pacman -S go
+```
+
+Then clone my fork of `mangal` and build/install it:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/luevano/mangal.git # not sure if you can use SSH to clone
+cd mangal
+make install # or just `make build` and then move the binary to somewhere in your $PATH
+```
+
+This will use `go install` so it will install to a path specified by your environment variables, for more run `go help install`. It was installed to `$HOME/.local/bin/go/mangal` for me, then just make sure this is included in your PATH.
+
+Check it was correctly installed by running `mangal version`, which should print something like:
+
+```
+▇▇▇ mangal
+
+ Version ...
+ Git Commit ...
+ Build Date ...
+ Built By ...
+ Platform ...
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+I'm going to do everything with a normal user (`manga-dl`) which I created just to download manga. So all of the commands will be run without sudo/root privileges.
+
+Change some of the configuration options:
+
+```sh
+mangal config set -k downloader.path -v "/mnt/d/mangal" # downloads to current dir by default
+mangal config set -k formats.use -v "cbz" # downloads as pdf by default
+mangal config set -k installer.user -v "luevano" # points to my scrapers repository which contains a few extra scrapers and fixes, defaults to metafates' one; this is important if you're using my fork, don't use otherwise as it uses extra stuff I added
+mangal config set -k logs.write -v true # I like to get logs for what happens
+```
+
+For more configs and to read what they're for:
+
+```sh
+mangal config info
+```
+
+Also install the custom Lua scrapers by running:
+
+```sh
+mangal sources install
+```
+
+And install whatever you want, it picks up the sources/scrapers from the configured repository (`installer.<key>` config), if you followed, it will show my scrapers.
+
+## Usage
+
+Two main ways of using `mangal`:
+
+- TUI: for initial browsing/downloading and testing things out. If the manga finished publishing, this should be enough.
+- inline: for automation on manga that is still publishing and I need to check/download every once in a while.
+
+### Headless browser
+
+Before continuing, I gotta say I went through some bullshit while trying to use the custom Lua scrapers that use the *headless* browser (actually just a wrapper of [go-rod/rod](https://github.com/go-rod/rod), and honestly it is not really a "headless" browser, `mangal` "documentation" is just wrong). For mor on my rant check out my last [entry](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/learned_go_and_lua_hard_way.html).
+
+There is no concrete documentation on the "headless" browser, only that it is automatically set up and ready to use... but it doesn't install any library/dependency needed. I discovered the following libraries that were missing on my Arch minimal install:
+
+- library -> arch package containing it
+- libnss3.so -> nss
+- libatk-1.0.so.0 -> at-spi2-core
+- libcups.so.2 -> libcups
+- libdrm.so.2 -> libdrm
+- libXcomposite.so.1 -> libxcomposite
+- libXdamage.so.1 -> libxdamage
+- libXrandr.so.2 -> libxrandr
+- libgbm.so.1 -> mesa
+- libxkbcommon.so.0 -> libxkbcommon
+- libpango-1.0.so.0 -> pango
+- libasound.so.2 -> alsa-lib
+
+To install them::
+
+```sh
+pacman -S nss at-spi2-core libcups libdrm libxcomposite libxdamage libxrandr mesa libxkbcommon pango alsa-lib
+```
+
+I can't guarantee that those are all the packages needed, those are the ones I happen to discover (had to [fork](https://github.com/luevano/mangal-lua-libs) the lua libs and add some logging because the error message was too fucking generic).
+
+These dependencies are probably met by installing either `chromedriver` or `google-chrome` from the AUR (for what I could see on the package dependencies).
+
+### TUI
+
+Use the TUI by running
+
+```sh
+mangal
+```
+
+Download manga using the TUI by selecting the source/scrapper, search the manga/comic you want and then you can select each chapter to download (use `tab` to select all). This is what I use when downloading manga that already finished publishing, or when I'm just searching and testing out how it downloads the manga (directory name, and manga information).
+
+Note that some scrapters will contain duplicated chapters, as they have uploaded chapters from the community. This happens a lot with [MangaDex](https://mangadex.org/).
+
+### Inline
+
+The inline mode is a single terminal command meant to be used to automate stuff or for more advanced options. You can peek a bit into the "[documentation](https://github.com/metafates/mangal/wiki/Inline-mode#command-examples)" which honestly its ass because it doesn't explain much. The minimal command for inline according to the help is:
+
+```sh
+mangal inline --manga <option> --query <manga-title>
+```
+
+But this will not produce anything because it also needs `--source` (or set the default using the config key `downloader.default_sources`) and either `--json` (for the search result) or `--download` to actually download whatever was found but it could download something you don't want so do the `--json` first.
+
+Something not mentioned anywhere is the `--manga` flag options (found it at the source code), it has 3 available options:
+
+- `first`: first manga entry found for the search.
+- `last`: last manga entry found for the search.
+- `exact`: exact manga title match. This is the one I use.
+
+That said, I'll do an example by using [Mangapill](https://mangapill.com) as source, and will search for [Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba](https://mangapill.com/manga/2285/kimetsu-no-yaiba):
+
+1. Search first and make sure my command will pull the manga I want:
+
+```sh
+mangal inline --source "Mangapill" --manga "exact" --query "Kimetsu no Yaiba" --json | jq # I use jq to pretty format the output
+```
+
+2. I make sure the json output contains the correct manga information: name, url, etc..
+ - You can also include the flag `--include-anilist-manga` to include anilist information (if any) so you can check that the correct anilist id is attached. If the correct one is not attached (and it exists) then you can run the command:
+
+ ```sh
+ mangal inline anilist set --name "Kimetsu no Yaiba" --id 101922
+ ```
+
+ Which means that all "searches" for that `--name` flag will be attached to that specific anilist ID.
+3. If I'm okay with the outputs, then I change `--json` for `--download` to actually download:
+
+```sh
+mangal inline --source "Mangapill" --manga "exact" --query "Kimetsu no Yaiba" --download
+```
+
+4. Check if the manga is downloaded correctly. I do this by going to my download directory and checking the directory name (I'm picky with this stuff), that all chapters where downloaded, that it includes a correct `series.json` file and it contains a `cover.<img-ext>`; this usually means it correctly pulled information from anilist and that it will contain metadata Komga will be able to use.
+
+### Komga library
+
+Now I just check that it is correctly added to Komga by clicking on the 3 dots to the right of the library name and click on "Scan library files" to refresh if the cron timer hasn't pass by yet.
+
+Then I check that the metadata is correct (once the manga is fully indexed), such as title, summary, chapter count, language, tags, genre, etc., which honestly it never works fine as `mangal` creates the `series.json` with the `comicId` field with an upper case `I` and Komga expects it to be a lower case `i` (`comicid`) so it falls back to using the info from the first chapter. I'll probably will fix this on `mangal` side, and see how it goes.
+
+So, what I do is manually edit the metadata for the manga, by changing whatever it's wrong or add what's missing (I like adding anilist and MyAnimeList links) and then leave it as is.
+
+### Automation
+
+==WIP==
+
+## Alternative downloaders
+
+Just for the record, here is a list of downloaders/scrapers I considered before starting to use `mangal`:
+
+- [kaizoku](https://github.com/oae/kaizoku): NodeJS web server that uses `mangal` for its "backend" and honestly since I liked `mangal` so much I should use it, the only reason I don't is because I'm a bitch and I don't want to use a D\*ck\*r image and NodeJS (ew) (in general is pretty bloated in my opinion). If I get tired of my solution with pure `mangal` I might as well just migrate to it as It's a more automatic solution.
+- [manga-py](https://github.com/manga-py/manga-py): Python CLI application that's a really good option as far as I've explored it, I'm just not using it yet as `mangal` has been really smooth and has everything I need, but will definitely explore it in the future if I need to. The cool thing out of the box is the amount of sources it can scrape from (somethign lacking from `mangal`).
+- [mylar3](https://github.com/mylar3/mylar3): Python web server that should be the easier way to download manga with once correctly set up, but I guess I'm too dumb and don't know how to configure it. Looks like you need to have access to specific private torrent trackers or whatever the other ways to download are, I just couldn't figure out how to set it up and for public torrent stuff everything will be all over the place, so this was no option for me at the end.
+
+Others:
+
+- [HakuNeku](https://hakuneko.download/): It looks pretty easy to use and future rich, only thing is that it's not designed for headless servers, just a normal app. So this is also not an option for me. You could use it on your computer and `rsync` to your server or use some other means to upload to your server (a *nono* for me).
+- [FMD](https://github.com/riderkick/FMD): No fucking idea on how to use it and it's not been updated since 2019, just listing it here as an option if it interests you.

-I changed the port to `8989` because `8080` its too generic, modified the `cron` schedules (not actually `cron`, its a `cron`-like syntax used by [Spring cron expression](https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/scheduling/support/CronSequenceGenerator.html) as stated in the [Komga config](https://komga.org/installation/configuration.html#optional-configuration)) and added the remember me key. For mor check out [Komga: Configuration options](https://komga.org/installation/configuration.html).
-
-If you're going to run it locally (or LAN/VPN) you can start the `komga.service` and access it via IP at `http://<your-server/ip>:<port>(/base_url)` as stated at [Komga: Accessing the web interface](https://komga.org/installation/webui.html), else continue with the next steps for the reverse proxy and certificate.
-
-## Reverse proxy
-
-Before starting/enabling the `komga.service` create the reverse proxy configuration (this is for `nginx`). In my case I'll use a subdomain, so this is a new config called `komga.conf` at the usual `sites-available/enabled` dir:
-
-```nginx
-server {
- listen 80;
- server_name komga.yourdomain.com; # change accordingly to your wanted subdomain and domain name
-
- location / {
- proxy_pass http://localhost:8989; # change 8989 to the port you want to use
-
- proxy_set_header Host $host;
- proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
-
- proxy_read_timeout 600s;
- proxy_send_timeout 600s;
- }
-}
-```
-
-If it's going to be used as a subdir then just add the same `location` (with `/subdir` instead of `/`) directive to the corresponding `.conf` file, be careful with the `proxy_pass` directive, it has to match what you configured at `/etc/komga.conf` regardless of the `/subdir` you selected at `location`.
-
-## SSL certificate
-
-If using a subdir then the same certificate for the subdomain/domain should work fine and no extra stuff is needed, else if following along me then we can create/extend the certificate by running:
-
-```sh
-certbot --nginx
-```
-
-That will automatically detect the new subdomain config and create/extend your existing certificate(s). In my case I manage each certificate's subdomain, so for me I run something along the lines of:
-
-```sh
-certbot --nginx -d domainname.com -d subdomain.domainname.com -d komga.domainname.com
-```
-
-## Starting using Komga
-
-We can now `start`/`enable` the `komga.service`:
-
-```sh
-systemctl enable komga.service
-systemctl start komga.service
-```
-
-And access the web interface at `https://komga.domainname.com` which should show the login page for Komga. The first time it will ask to create an account as shown in [Komga: Create user account](https://komga.org/installation/webui.html#create-user-account), this will be an admin account. Fill in the email and password (can be changed later). The email doesn't have to be an actual email, for now it's just for management purposes.
-
-Next thing would be to add any extra account (for read-only permissions), add/import libraries, etc.. For now I'll leave it here until we start downloading manga on the next steps.
-
-## Library creation
-
-Creating a library is as simple as creating a directory somewhere (in my case I use a mounted drive) and point to it in Komga.
-
-Change the directory name(s) and user/group name(s) accordingly. For me:
-
-```sh
-mkdir /mnt/d/mangal
-```
-
-Where I chose the name `mangal` as its the name of the downloader/scrapper I'm going to use. For the most part, the permissions don't matter much (as long as it's readable by the `komga` user) unless you want to delete some manga.
-
-Then just create the library in Komga (the `+` sign next to *Libraries*), choose a name (*Mangal* in my case) and point to the root folder (`/mnt/d/mangal` in my case), then just click *Next*, *Next* and *Add* for the defaults (that's how I've been using it so far). This is well explained at [Komga: Libraries](https://komga.org/guides/libraries.html).
-
-The real important part (for me) is the permissions of the `/mnt/d/mangal` directory (and for any future directory for extra libraries for the matter), as I want to have write access for `komga` so I can manage from the web interface itself. It looks like it's just a matter of giving ownership to the `komga` user either for owner or for group (or to all for that matter), but since I'm going to use a separate user to download manga then I need to choose carefully.
-
-### Set default directory permissions
-
-The desired behaviour is: set `komga` as group ownership, set write access to group and whenever a new directory/file is created, inherit these permission settings. I found out via [this](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/1315) stack exchange answer how to do it. So for me:
-
-```sh
-chown manga-dl:komga /mnt/d/mangal # required for group ownership for komga
-chmod g+s /mnt/d/mangal # required for group permission inheritance
-setfacl -d -m g::rwx /mnt/d/mangal # default permissions for group
-setfacl -d -m o::rx /mnt/d/mangal # default permissions for other (as normal, I think this command can be excluded)
-```
-
-Where `manga-dl` is the user I created to download manga with. Optionally add `-R` flag to those 4 commands in case it already has subdirectories/files.
-
-Checking that the permissions are set correctly (`getfacl /mnt/d/mangal`):
-
-```
-getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
-# file: mnt/d/mangal
-# owner: manga-dl
-# group: komga
-# flags: -s-
-user::rwx
-group::rwx
-other::r-x
-default:user::rwx
-default:group::rwx
-default:other::r-x
-```
-
-You can then check by creating a new subdirectory and it should have the same permissions (except for owner if you used some other user to create it).
-
-# Download manga
-
-This is the most important part I think as it can be either very tedious or really simple. Some clients that could be used to download manga:
-
-- [mangal](https://github.com/metafates/mangal): Go CLI (and TUI) that's been the best option so far for me. You can either use the TUI for interactive manga searching and downloading (on an actual computer you can even read from there I guess) that also can be used to automate via scripts with its *inline* option. This is what I've been using and what I'm going to describe later in this entry. Only bad thing about it is the out-of-the-box scrapers it contains (only 4 + 2 working custom), the good thing is that it is easy to create new scrapers with its Lua support.
-- [kaizoku](https://github.com/oae/kaizoku): NodeJS web server that uses `mangal` for its "backend" and honestly since I liked `mangal` so much I should use it, the only reason I don't is because I'm a bitch and I don't want to use a D\*ck\*r image and NodeJS (ew) (in general is pretty bloated in my opinion). If I get tired of my solution with pure `mangal` I might as well just migrate to it as It's a more automatic solution.
-- [manga-py](https://github.com/manga-py/manga-py): Python CLI application that's a really good option as far as I've explored it, I'm just not using it yet as `mangal` has been really smooth and has everything I need, but will definitely explore it in the future if I need to. The cool thing out of the box is the amount of sources it can scrape from (somethign lacking from `mangal`).
-- [mylar3](https://github.com/mylar3/mylar3): Python web server that should be the easier way to download manga with once correctly set up, but I guess I'm too dumb and don't know how to configure it. Looks like you need to have access to specific private torrent trackers or whatever the other ways to download are, I just couldn't figure out how to set it up and for public torrent stuff everything will be all over the place, so this was no option for me at the end.
-
-Others:
-
-- [HakuNeku](https://hakuneko.download/): It looks pretty easy to use and future rich, only thing is that it's not designed for headless servers, just a normal app. So this is also not an option for me. You could use it on your computer and `rsync` to your server or use some other means to upload to your server (a *nono* for me).
-- [FMD](https://github.com/riderkick/FMD): No fucking idea on how to use it and it's not been updated since 2019, just listing it here as an option if it interests you.
-
-## mangal
-
-[mangal](https://github.com/metafates/mangal) is a cli/tui manga downloader with anilist integration and custom Lua scrapers.
-
-Similar to Komga, install it from the AUR with `yay`:
-
-```sh
-yay -S mangal-bin
-```
-
-I'm going to do everything with a normal user (`manga-dl`) I created just to download manga. So all of the commands will be run without sudo/root privileges.
-
-Change some of the configuration options (if you want):
-
-```sh
-mangal config set -k downloader.path -v "/mnt/d/mangal" # downloads to current dir by default
-mangal config set -k formats.use -v "cbz" # downloads as pdf by default
-mangal config set -k installer.user -v "luevano" # points to my scrapers repository which contains a few extra scrapers and fixes, defaults to metafates' one
-mangal config set -k logs.write -v true # I like to get logs for what happens
-```
-
-For more configs and to read what they're for:
-
-```sh
-mangal config info
-```
-
-With this we can already start using `mangal` to download via the TUI or the *inline* option.
-
-### Headless browser scrapper
-
-BULLSHIT STUFF HERE
-
-### TUI
-
-Run the TUI by just running:
-
-```sh
-mangal
-```
-
-It will start a fancy TUI where you can select the source/scrapper to use, search the manga/comic you want and download it (and/or read it if using on a normal computer). This is the way I use it when downloading manga that already finished publishing, or when I'm just searching and testing out how it downloads the manga (directory name, and manga information). \ No newline at end of file
