Stripstream Librarian

A comprehensive comic book and e-book management system with automatic indexing, full-text search, and a modern web interface.

Architecture

The project consists of the following components:

• API (apps/api/) - Rust-based REST API service
• Indexer (apps/indexer/) - Rust-based background indexing service
• Backoffice (apps/backoffice/) - Next.js web administration interface
• Infrastructure (infra/) - Docker Compose setup with PostgreSQL

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose
• (Optional) Rust toolchain for local development
• (Optional) Node.js 18+ for backoffice development

Environment Setup

1. Copy the example environment file:

   cp .env.example .env
   

2. Edit .env and set secure values for:

   • API_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN - Bootstrap token for initial API authentication

Running with Docker

docker compose up -d

This will start:

• PostgreSQL (port 6432)
• API service (port 7080)
• Indexer service (port 7081)
• Backoffice web UI (port 7082)

Accessing the Application

• Backoffice: http://localhost:7082
• API: http://localhost:7080

Default Credentials

The default bootstrap token is configured in your .env file. Use this for initial API authentication.

Development

Local Development (without Docker)

API & Indexer (Rust)

# Start dependencies
docker compose up -d postgres

# Run API
cd apps/api
cargo run

# Run Indexer (in another terminal)
cd apps/indexer
cargo run

Backoffice (Next.js)

cd apps/backoffice
npm install
npm run dev

The backoffice will be available at http://localhost:7082

Features

For the full feature list, business rules, and API details, see docs/FEATURES.md.

Libraries

• Multi-library management with per-library configuration
• Incremental and full scanning, real-time filesystem watcher
• Per-library metadata provider selection (Google Books, ComicVine, BedéThèque, AniList, Open Library)

Books & Series

• Formats: CBZ, CBR, PDF, EPUB
• Automatic metadata extraction (title, series, volume, authors, page count) from filenames and directory structure
• Series aggregation with missing volume detection
• Thumbnail generation (WebP/JPEG/PNG) with lazy generation and bulk rebuild
• CBR → CBZ conversion

Reading Progress

• Per-book tracking: unread / reading / read with current page
• Series-level aggregated reading status
• Bulk mark-as-read for series

Search & Discovery

• Full-text search across titles, authors, and series (PostgreSQL pg_trgm)
• Author listing with book/series counts
• Filtering by reading status, series status, format, metadata provider

External Metadata

• Search, match, approve/reject workflow with confidence scoring
• Batch auto-matching and scheduled metadata refresh
• Field locking to protect manual edits from sync

External Integrations

• Komga: import reading progress
• Prowlarr: search for missing volumes
• qBittorrent: add torrents directly from search results

Background Jobs

• Rebuild, rescan, thumbnail generation, metadata batch, CBR conversion
• Real-time progress via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• Job history, error tracking, cancellation

Page Rendering

• On-demand page extraction from all formats
• Image processing (format, quality, max width, resampling filter)
• LRU in-memory + disk cache

Security

• Token-based auth (admin / read scopes) with Argon2 hashing
• Rate limiting, token expiration and revocation

Web UI (Backoffice)

• Dashboard with statistics, charts, and reading progress
• Library, book, series, author management
• Live job monitoring, metadata search modals, settings panel

Docker Registry

Images are built and pushed to Docker Hub with the naming convention docker.io/{owner}/stripstream-{service}.

Publishing Images (Maintainers)

To build and push all service images to the registry:

# Login to Docker Hub first
docker login -u julienfroidefond32

# Build and push all images
./scripts/docker-push.sh

This script will:

• Build images for api, indexer, and backoffice
• Tag them with the current version (from Cargo.toml) and latest
• Push to the registry

Using Published Images

To use the pre-built images in your own docker-compose.yml:
