mangadex-fs

FUSE driver for your weeb needs.

This is a basic implementation of FUSE driver utilising MangaDex undocumented API. Manga information, chapters and individual pages are cached in memory so repeated requests don't accidently DDOS the server.

Version 0.2.0-beta

If you're looking for some previously working code, check out previous version. I think it no longer works though.

Usage

There are 2 binaries now, the client mangadex-fsc and the daemon mangadex-fsd.

1. cargo install mangadex-fs (or clone this repo),
2. checkout mangadex-fsc --help / mangadex-fsd --help (or cargo run --release --bin mangadex-fsc -- --help) on how to use,
3. please don't abuse MangaDex server, use with consideration,
4. have fun reading.

Short example: console urmom@gay ~> mkdir ~/Manga urmom@gay ~> mangadex-fsd ~/Manga console urmom@gay ~> mangadex-fsc login -u <username> -p <password> OK urmom@gay ~> mangadex-fsc quicksearch "Made In Abyss" 16482 Made in Abyss 38973 Made in Abyss Official Anthology 47082 Made in Abyss 47.X: Welcome Back 31677 Made In Abyss (Fan Colored) OK me@urmom ~> mangadex-fsc add manga 16482 Manga Made in Abyss has been added. OK

Notes

• You need to have FUSE installed, and its kernel module loaded: modprobe fuse.
• This version doesn't support any sort of API throttling/debouncing. For now.

• Since fetching only the chapter page image size no longer works (curl -I image_url returns 405), every time your system issues a readdir call (basically ls) on a chapter directory, every image gets fetched in its entirety. You can imagine it can take some time. Also MangaDex servers get buried in requests.

  So if you're calling tree on the mountpoint directory, you are basically asking for an IP ban.

  This can also happen if you're using some fancy command line shells, be wary. bash looks safe.

• API responses are cached, and there is no command for fetching updates currently.

• sh cd <mountpoint>/<manga>/<chapter> ls -1a | xargs -d '\n' feh --image-bg "black" -Z -. -d -S filename --version-sort

  creates a good reader. Obviously you need to have feh installed.

• You can enable logging by setting RUST_LOG environment variable. More here.
• If you encounter a socket error: Address already in use (os error 98), it means the socket file is still present in the runtime directory, you can remove it with rm $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mangadex-fs/mangadex-fsd.sock.

• You can place a configuration file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mangadex-fs/config.toml. It can be only provided with the socket file path for now, so it's mostly useless: toml socket = "/run/user/1000/mangadex-fs/mangadex-fsd.sock"

• Your code is a dumpster fire

  I bet! This is my first time using Rust for something more complicated than Hello world. If you have any guidelines or want to contribute go ahead, any help would be appreciated. With all these mutexes flying around I have no idea what I'm doing.
