config.json docs

** To generate APIhash, run printf "your password here" | sha512sum then copy everything before the -

Arguments

• ./main.go update updates the local library
• ./main.go ws runs the webserver

Web front-end information

• The go-nhentai web front-end hosts your downloaded doujins on a simple web interface
• By default, go-nhentai listens to :8096 and has no passwords
• If you haven't changed anything yet, type IP:8096/api into the input bar
  • If you're on the same machine, localhost:8096/api will do
• CSS framework is Bulma
• Icons sets are from material.io

Build instructions

Caution: You need go for installing this, even just once. go manages fetching frontend assets right now, which is why it's mandatory.

# Make sure you have Go

# Set a GOPATH if you haven't
[ "$GOPATH" ] && export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
# Throw that into ~/.shellrc while you're at it

# Install go-nhentai
go get -u gitlab.com/diamondburned/go-nhentai

# Run it to initiate the config
$GOPATH/bin/go-nhentai update

# Optional
# Add PATH into your ~/.shellrc
export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH"

Run flags

• --silent prints nothing except errors
• --threads [n] will download n pages at once, by default n will be the amount of logical cores you have.

To-do

• Database to keep track of metadata
• Image preloading and progress bar
• Loading animation
• API wrapper
• Booru support
• Remote command to update library, maybe even with live progress
• Add in sorting methods and API handlers
• CLI front-end (assigned to ym)
• Favorites
• Add in a function to manually download a doujin into the library (top priority)
• Add in multithreaded downloading (configurable) (thanks ym)
• Added whitelisting for all your fetish needs
• Password verification for front-end (hashing client-side since no SSL)
• Go back to encoding/json instead of json-iterator
• Web front-end that I thought up of on a whim
