Gazee

Build Status

This Project is currently no longer in development. Life took over and I didn't have the motivation to continue.

If you'd like to take over development, feel free to fork and run with it.

The main thing it needs currently is an ORM to replace all the hardcoded DB interactions.

Gazee is a comic viewer for the web browser.

Read and reach your favorite digital comics from almost any web connected device.

Works great with Mylar comic book management, but not needed.

Check out the Wiki for detailed instructions on setup if you need them.

Questions can also be asked in the #gazee channel on Freenode

Requirements

Requirements can be installed easily in the setup section below.

Unrar Downloads

Unrar needs to be installed and visible in the path of the user Gazee is running under to be able to properly extract all CBRs.

Double check this on Windows, different systems have different requirements for making sure you have unrar visbile in your users path.

Unrar for Windows, windows also needs command line accessible Git installed, gone over in the install guide on the wiki

Centos needs Unrar from RPMFusion, not Offical/EPEL unar application. unar is out of date and will fail with certain types of cbrs and other rar archives.

Debian

Setup

Step 1: Clone the repository and install python dependencies

cd <directory you want to install to>
git clone https://github.com/hubbcaps/gazee.git
cd gazee
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
python Gazee.py

Note If you see an error similar to the following

$ python Gazee.py
File "Gazee.py", line 194
cherrypy.engine.timeout_monitor.on: False
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This likely means your systems default version of python is 2.x. Verify you have python 3.4+ installed and call it explicitly with python3 or python3.x

python3 Gazee.py

Step 2: Logon to Gazee's Web UI)

Go to http://your-ip:4242

Default username and password for the web interface:

Daemonize (Linux only)

You can easily run the program in Daemon mode by using the -d flag

python Gazee.py -d

Docker Container

Alternatively, instead of doing a local install, you can install the docker container.

The docket container can be pulled from here or from dockerhub.

QOL Features on the Roadmap

These are features that will make Gazee better and more up to par in what should be expected of a modern comic reader, but aren't needed for actual usability.
