How to Install Tanoshi on Alpine Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Tanoshi on Alpine Linux Latest. Tanoshi is a Manga server that allows you to read Manga online. It is built using Vue.js, Node.js, and MongoDB.

Before we begin, make sure to have a working Alpine Linux installation with root privileges. Let's get started!

Step 1: Install Node.js

First, we need to install Node.js on our system. We can do this by running the following command:

apk add nodejs

This command will install Node.js version 14.17.6 on our system.

Step 2: Install MongoDB

Next, we need to install MongoDB on our system. We can do this by running the following command:

apk add mongodb

This command will install MongoDB version 4.4.9 on our system.

We also need to start the MongoDB service and enable it to start automatically at boot time. We can do this by running the following commands:

rc-service mongodb start
rc-update add mongodb

Step 3: Download and Install Tanoshi

Now it's time to download and install Tanoshi. We will clone the Tanoshi repository from GitHub and install all the required dependencies by running the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/faldez/tanoshi.git
cd tanoshi
npm install

Step 4: Configure the Tanoshi Server

Next, we need to configure the Tanoshi server by creating a .env file. We can do this by running the following command:

cp .env.example .env

This command will create a new .env file from the .env.example file. Now, open the .env file in a text editor and modify the following variables:

• APP_URL: Set the URL of the server.
• MONGODB_URL: Set the MongoDB connection URL. By default, it is set to mongodb://localhost:27017/tanoshi.

Save the changes and close the file.

Step 5: Start the Tanoshi Server

Finally, we can start the Tanoshi server by running the following command:

npm run start

This command will start the Tanoshi server on port 3000.
