• Google OAuth credentials

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/Heapy/kotbusta.git
   cd kotbusta

2. Set up environment variables

   cp .env.example .env

   Edit .env and configure the following required variables:

   • KOTBUSTA_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID - Your Google OAuth client ID
   • KOTBUSTA_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET - Your Google OAuth client secret
   • KOTBUSTA_GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI - OAuth redirect URI (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/callback)
   • KOTBUSTA_SESSION_SIGN_KEY - Session signing key (will be auto-generated if not provided)
   • KOTBUSTA_SESSION_ENCRYPT_KEY - Session encryption key (will be auto-generated if not provided)
   • KOTBUSTA_ADMIN_EMAIL - Your admin email address
   • KOTBUSTA_DB_PATH - Path to SQLite database file (optional, defaults to kotbusta.db)
   • KOTBUSTA_BOOKS_DATA_PATH_LOCAL - Local path to your Flibusta book archives

3. Prepare your Flibusta data

   # Create directory for book data if it doesn't exist
   mkdir -p /path/to/flibusta/books
   
   # Your directory should contain:
   # - fb2-*.zip archives with books
   # - flibusta_fb2_local.inpx metadata file

4. Run the application

   docker compose -f deploy/prod/docker-compose.yml up -d

5. Monitor the startup

   # Check logs to ensure services started correctly
   docker compose -f deploy/prod/docker-compose.yml logs -f
   
   # Verify containers are running
   docker compose -f deploy/prod/docker-compose.yml ps

6. Initial setup

   • Navigate to your configured URL (e.g., https://yourdomain.com)
   • Login with Google using your admin email
   • Go to the Admin panel
   • Run the import process to index your book collection
   • The import may take some time depending on your collection size

7. Verify installation

   • Check that books appear in the catalog
   • Test search functionality
   • Try downloading a book in different formats

1. Clone the repository

   git clone git@github.com:Heapy/kotbusta.git
   cd kotbusta

2. Set up environment

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env

3. Configure Google OAuth

   • Go to Google Console
   • Create a new project or select existing
   • Create OAuth 2.0 credentials
   • Add authorized redirect URI: http://localhost:8080/callback
   • Copy Client ID and Secret to .env
   • Add your email address as ad

4. Prepare book data

   # Create directory for your Flibusta data
   mkdir books-data
   # Copy your FB2 archives and INPX files here
   # Structure should match: books-data/fb2-*.zip, books-data/flibusta_fb2_local.inpx

5. Start the application in IDEA

   • Run Kotbusta run-configuration
   • The SQLite database will be created automatically on first run

6. Access the application

   • Open http://localhost:8080
   • Click "Login with Google" to authenticate
   • Go to "Admin" and run import
   • Start browsing your digital library!

1. Backend development

   Start `Kotbusta` run-configuration in IDEA
   # Navigate to http://localhost:8080`

2. Frontend development

   • Edit files in src/main/resources/static/
   • No build process needed, Kotbusta uses native ES modules
   • Reload browser to see changes

The application uses SQLite with the following main tables:

• books - Book metadata and file paths
• authors - Author information
• series - Book series
• genres - Genre information
• languages - Language information
• users - User accounts (from Google OAuth)
• user_stars - User's starred books
