🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose
• PostgreSQL database (handled by Docker)

Environment Setup

1. Create .env file:

cp .env.example .env

2. Edit .env with your secure values:

JWT_SECRET="your-secure-jwt-secret-key-here"
DBPASS="your-secure-database-password-here"

Running the Application

# Option 1: Using .env file
docker-compose up --build

# Option 2: Direct environment variables
export JWT_SECRET="your-secure-jwt-secret-key-here"
export DBPASS="your-secure-database-password-here"
docker-compose up --build

Access the application at: http://localhost:8765

👤 User Management

Role System

• Admin Users: Can create/manage libraries, add/delete media items, manage users
• Regular Users: Can view permitted libraries, rate items, track reading progress

First Admin Setup

The first user who registers automatically becomes an admin. For additional admins:

-- Connect to database
docker exec -it bookmann_db psql -U postgres -d bookmann

-- Promote user to admin
UPDATE users SET role = 'admin' WHERE email = 'user@example.com';

🏛 Library Management

Creating Libraries

1. Admin Access: Only administrators can create libraries
2. Library Types: Choose from Ebooks, Comics, or Manga
3. Multi-Folder Support: Add multiple scanning folders per library
4. Folder Organization: Organize your media collection across multiple paths

Library Visibility Control

• Admin Dashboard: Complete interface for managing library access
• User-Specific Control: Admins can show/hide libraries per user
• Personal Preferences: Admins can also hide libraries from their own view
• Simple Toggles: Checkbox-based interface for easy management
