Mango is an open-source self-hosted manga server and web reader that is written in Go. In this tutorial, we are going to walk through the installation of Mango on FreeBSD Latest.
Before starting the installation process, there are some requirements that need to be met:
Mango requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. Open a terminal window and enter the following command to install those necessary dependencies:
sudo pkg install git go gcc gmake
This command will install the required packages: git, go, gcc, and gmake.
In this step, we will clone the Mango repository from GitHub and install Mango on our system. Enter these commands in the terminal window:
cd Mango
make build
sudo make install```
The first command will clone the Mango repository from GitHub to your system. The second command will take you to the cloned repository. The third command will build the Mango server from source files. The fourth command will install Mango on your system.
## Step 3 - Start the Mango Server
Mango needs to be started with some default configuration to be used. Here is an example:
```sudo mango -d -p 8080 -F /path/to/mango/stuff -S --auth DEFAULTUSER:DEFAULTPASS```
This command will start the Mango server with the following configuration:
* `-d`: Run Mango in the background
* `-p 8080`: Bind Mango to listen on port 8080
* `-F /path/to/mango/stuff`: Mango's working directory
* `-S`: Enable HTTPS
* `--auth DEFAULTUSER:DEFAULTPASS`: Set up authentication with a default username and password
Feel free to adjust this command with your required configuration.
## Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Mango on FreeBSD Latest by following a few simple steps. You can now use the Mango server to read manga locally or remotely.
