What it is

Suwayomi-Server is a desktop rewrite of Tachiyomi (a manga reader app) that runs as a JVM-based backend server with web/client frontends. It provides manga browsing, reading, library management, and extension support across Windows, macOS, and Linux without Android dependencies, using Kotlin/Java with Gradle-based build infrastructure. Multi-module Gradle monorepo: AndroidCompat/ provides Android annotation shims and config management (ConfigManager.kt, ApplicationRootDir.kt) so desktop code reuses Tachiyomi logic; main server code elsewhere (inferred); separate client projects in other repos. Build uses Gradle Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts files), with CI publishing Docker images,…

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/Suwayomi/Suwayomi-Server.git
cd Suwayomi-Server
./gradlew build
./gradlew run

(On Windows, use gradlew.bat instead of ./gradlew; Makefile suggests alternative build targets may exist.)

Daily commands:

./gradlew build
./gradlew run

Docker: docker pull suwayomi/server:latest && docker run suwayomi/server (workflows reference docker_build_stable.yml). For release JARs: java -jar suwayomi-server.jar. OS bundles (Windows .exe, macOS .dmg, Linux Ap…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

• 1. Platform-specific paths: ApplicationRootDir.kt likely handles Windows/Mac/Linux differences; config file locations vary by OS (watch for hardcoded separators). 2. Extension system security: AndroidCompat/ is…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
