ghcr.io/diogovalentte/mantium-api:latestWhat is mantium?
Mantium is a self-hosted manga tracker that monitors multiple source sites including MangaDex, MangaPlus, MangaHub, MangaUpdates, RawKuma, KLManga, and JManga. It fetches manga and chapter metadata (not images) and presents them in a web dashboard with grid and list views. The Multimanga feature groups the same title across different sources into one entry with unified progress tracking. Custom Manga lets users add unsupported sites using CSS or XPath selectors to extract chapter data. Background jobs refresh metadata, detect new chapters, and send notifications via Ntfy. Integrations with Tranga, Suwayomi, and Kaizoku enable automated chapter downloading. The stack runs via Docker Compose with PostgreSQL, an API on port 8080, and a Streamlit dashboard on port 8501. No built-in authentication exists; the docs recommend a reverse proxy with Authelia or Authentik for security.
