+
+## <a name="demonstration">👀 Demonstration</a>
+
+You may browse a [live demo server](https://demo.codex-reader.app/) to get a
+feel for Codex.
+
+## <a name="news">📜 News</a>
+
+Codex has a <a href="NEWS.md">NEWS file</a> to summarize changes that affect
+users.
+
+## <a name="installation">📦 Installation</a>
+
+### Install & Run with Docker
+
+Run the official [Docker Image](https://hub.docker.com/r/ajslater/codex).
+Instructions for running the docker image are on the Docker Hub README. This is
+the recommended way to run Codex.
+
+You'll then want to read the [Administration](#administration) section of this
+document.
+
+### Install & Run on <a href="homeassistant">HomeAssistant</a> server
+
+If you have a [HomeAssistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) server, Codex can
+be installed with the following steps :
+
+- Add the `https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons` repository by
+  [clicking here](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/supervisor_add_addon_repository/?repository_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Falexbelgium%2Fhassio-addons)
+- Install the addon :
+  [click here to automatically open the addon store, then install the addon](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/supervisor)
+- Customize addon options, then then start the add-on.
+
+### Install & Run as a Native Application
+
+You can also run Codex as a natively installed python application with pip.
+
+#### Binary Dependencies
+
+You'll need to install the appropriate system dependencies for your platform
+before installing Codex.
+
+##### Linux Dependencies
+
+###### <a href="#debian">Debian</a> Dependencies
+
+...and Ubuntu, Mint, MX, Window Subsystem for Linux, and others.
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```sh
+apt install build-essential libimagequant0 libjpeg-turbo8 libopenjp2-7 libssl libyaml-0-2 libtiff6 libwebp7 python3-dev python3-pip mupdf unrar zlib1g
+```
+
+Versions of packages like libjpeg, libssl, libtiff may differ between flavors
+and versions of your distribution. If the package versions listed in the example
+above are not available, try searching for ones that are with `apt-cache` or
+`aptitude`.
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```sh
+apt-cache search libjpeg-turbo
+```
+
+###### <a href="alpine">Alpine</a> Dependencies
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```sh
+apk add bsd-compat-headers build-base jpeg-dev libffi-dev libwebp openssl-dev yaml-dev zlib-dev
+```
+
+##### Install unrar Runtime Dependency on non-debian Linux
+
+Codex requires unrar to read CBR formatted comic archives. Unrar is often not
+packaged for Linux, but here are some instructions:
+[How to install unrar in Linux](https://www.unixtutorial.org/how-to-install-unrar-in-linux/)
+
+Unrar as packaged for Alpine Linux v3.14 seems to work on Alpine v3.15+
+
+##### macOS Dependencies
+
+Using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```sh
+brew install jpeg libffi libyaml libzip openssl python unrar webp
+```
+
+##### <a href="#windows">Windows</a> Dependencies
+
+Windows users are encouraged to use Docker to run Codex, but it will also run
+natively on the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
+
+Installation instructions are in the <a href="/WINDOWS.md">Native Windows
+Dependencies Installation Document</a>.
+
+#### <a href="#run">Run</a> Codex Natively
+
+Once you have installed codex, the codex binary should be on your path. To start
+codex, run:
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```sh
+codex
+```
+
+### Use Codex
+
+Once installed and running you may navigate to <http://localhost:9810/>
+
+## <a name="administration">👑 Administration</a>
+
+### Navigate to the Admin Panel
+
+- Click the hamburger menu ☰ to open the browser settings drawer.
+- Log in as the 'admin' user. The default administrator password is also
+  'admin'.
+- Navigate to the Admin Panel by clicking on its link in the browser settings
+  drawer after you have logged in.
+
+### Change the Admin password
+
+The first thing you should do is log in as the admin user and change the admin
+password.
+
+- Navigate to the Admin Panel as described above.
+- Select the Users tab.
+- Change the admin user's password using the small lock button.
+- You may also change the admin user's name with the edit button.
+- You may create other users and grant them admin privileges by making them
+  staff.
+
+### Add Comic Libraries
+
+The second thing you will want to do is log in as an Administrator and add one
+or more comic libraries.
+
+- Navigate to the Admin Panel as described above.
+- Select the Libraries tab in the Admin Panel
+- Add a Library with the "+ LIBRARY" button in the upper left.
+
+### Reset the admin password
+
+If you forget all your superuser passwords, you may restore the original default
+admin account by running codex with the `CODEX_RESET_ADMIN` environment variable
+set.
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```sh
+CODEX_RESET_ADMIN=1 codex
+```
+
+or, if using Docker:
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```sh
+docker run -e CODEX_RESET_ADMIN=1 -v host-parent-dir/config:/config ajslater/codex
+```
+
+### Private Libraries
+
+In the Admin Panel you may configure private libraries that are only accessible
+to specific groups.
+
+A library with _no_ groups is accessible to every user including anonymous
+users.
+
+A library with _any_ groups is accessible only to users who are in those groups.
+
+Use the Groups admin panel to create groups and the Users admin panel to add and
+remove users to groups.
+
+#### Include and Exclude Groups
+
+Codex can make groups for libraries that exclude groups of users or exclude
+everyone and include only certain groups of users.
+
+### PDF Metadata
+
+Codex reads PDF metadata from the filename, PDF metadata fields and also many
+formats of common complex comic metadata if they are embedded in the PDF
+`keywords` field.
+
+If you decide to include PDFs in your comic library, I recommend taking time to
+rename your files so Codex can find some metadata. Codex recognizes several file
+naming schemes. This one has good results:
+
+`{series} v{volume} #{issue} {title} ({year}) {ignored}.pdf`
+
+Complex comic metadata, such as ComicInfo.xml, can be also be embedded in the
+keywords field by using the [comicbox](https://github.com/ajslater/comicbox)
+command line tool. Codex will read this data because it relies on comicbox
+internally. Not many people use comicbox or embedded metadata in PDFs in this
+fashion, so you likely won't find it unless you've added it yourself.
+
+### 🗝️ API with Key Access
+
+Codex has a limited number of API endpoints available with API Key Access. The
+API Key is available on the admin/stats tab.
+
+## <a name="configuration">🎛️ Configuration</a>
+
+### Config Dir
+
+The default config directory is `config/` directly under the working directory
+you run codex from. You may specify an alternate config directory with the
+environment variable `CODEX_CONFIG_DIR`.
+
+The config directory contains a file named `hypercorn.toml` where you can
+specify ports and bind addresses. If no `hypercorn.toml` is present Codex copies
+a default one to that directory on startup.
+
+The default values for the config options are:
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```toml
+bind = ["0.0.0.0:9810"]
+quick_bind = ["0.0.0.0:9810"]
+root_path = "/codex"
+```
+
+The config directory also holds the main sqlite database, the Whoosh search
+index, a Django cache and comic book cover thumbnails.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+#### General
+
+- `TIMEZONE` or `TZ` will explicitly set the timezone in long format (e.g.
+  `"America/Los Angeles"`). This is useful inside Docker because codex cannot
+  automatically detect the host machine's timezone.
+- `CODEX_CONFIG_DIR` will set the path to codex config directory. Defaults to
+  `$CWD/config`
+- `CODEX_RESET_ADMIN=1` will reset the admin user and its password to defaults
+  when codex starts.
+- `CODEX_SKIP_INTEGRITY_CHECK=1` will skip the database integrity repair that
+  runs when codex starts.
+- `DEBUG_TRANSFORM` will show verbose information about how the comicbox library
+  reads all archive metadata sources and transforms it into a the comicbox
+  schema.
+
+#### Logging
+
+- `LOGLEVEL` will change how verbose codex's logging is. Valid values are
+  `ERROR`, `WARNING`, `INFO`, `DEBUG`. The default is `INFO`.
+- `CODEX_LOG_DIR` sets a custom directory for saving logfiles. Defaults to
+  `$CODEX_CONFIG_DIR/logs`
+- `CODEX_LOG_TO_FILE=0` will not log to files.
+- `CODEX_LOG_TO_CONSOLE=0` will not log to the console.
+
+#### Throttling
+
+Codex contains some experimental throttling controls. The value supplied to
+these variables will be interpreted as the maximum number of allowed requests
+per minute. For example, the following settings would limit each described group
+to 2 queries per second.
+
+- `CODEX_THROTTLE_ANON=30` Anonymous users
+- `CODEX_THROTTLE_USER=30` Authenticated users
+- `CODEX_THROTTLE_OPDS=30` The OPDS v1 & v2 APIs (Panels uses this for search)
+- `CODEX_THROTTLE_OPENSEARCH=30` The OPDS v1 Opensearch API
+
+### Reverse Proxy
+
+[nginx](https://nginx.org/) is often used as a TLS terminator and subpath proxy.
+
+Here's an example nginx config with a subpath named '/codex'.
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```nginx
+# HTTP
+proxy_set_header   Host $http_host;
+proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
+proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
+proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+proxy_set_header   X-Scheme $scheme;
+# Websockets
+proxy_http_version 1.1;
+proxy_set_header   Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+
+proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade" location /codex {
+  proxy_pass       http://codex:9810;
+  # Codex reads http basic authentication.
+  # If the nginx credentials are different than codex credentials use this line to
+  #   not forward the authorization.
+  proxy_set_header Authorization "";
+}
+```
+
+Specify a reverse proxy sub path (if you have one) in `config/hypercorn.toml`
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```toml
+root_path = "/codex"
+```
+
+#### Nginx Reverse Proxy 502 when container refreshes
+
+Nginx requires a special trick to refresh dns when linked Docker containers
+recreate. See this
+[nginx with dynamix upstreams](https://tenzer.dk/nginx-with-dynamic-upstreams/)
+article.
+
+### Restricted Memory Environments
+
+Codex can run with as little as 1GB available RAM. Large batch jobs –like
+importing and indexing tens of thousands of comics at once– will run faster the
+more memory is available to Codex. The biggest gains in speed happen when you
+increase memory up to about 6GB. Codex batch jobs do get faster the more memory
+it has above 6GB, but with diminishing returns.
+
+If you must run Codex in an admin restricted memory environment you might want
+to temporarily give Codex a lot of memory to run a very large import job and
+then restrict it for normal operation.
+
+## <a name="use">📖 Use</a>
+
+### 👤 Sessions & Accounts
+
+Once your administrator has added some comic libraries, you may browse and read
+comics. Codex will remember your preferences, bookmarks and progress in the
+browser session. Codex destroys anonymous sessions and bookmarks after 60 days.
+To preserve these settings across browsers and after sessions expire, you may
+register an account with a username and password. You will have to contact your
+administrator to reset your password if you forget it.
+
+### ᯤ OPDS
+
+Codex supports OPDS syndication and OPDS streaming. You may find the OPDS url in
+the side drawer. It should take the form:
+
+`http(s)://host.tld(:9810)(/root_path)/opds/v1.2/`
+
+or
+
+`http(s)://host.tld(:9810)(/root_path)/opds/v2.0/`
+
+OPDS 2.0 support is experimental and not widely or well supported by clients.
+OPDS 2.0 book readers exist, but I am not yet aware of an OPDS 2.0 comic reader.
+
+#### Clients
+
+- iOS has [Panels](https://panels.app/), [PocketBooks](https://pocketbook.ch/),
+  [KYBook 3](http://kybook-reader.com/), and
+  [Chunky Comic Reader](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/chunky-comic-reader/id663567628)
+- Android has
+  [Moon+](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader)
+  and
+  [Librera](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foobnix.pdf.reader)
+
+Kybook 3 does not seem to support http basic authentication, so Cbbodex users
+are not supported.
+
+#### HTTP Basic Authentication
+
+If you wish to access OPDS as your Codex User. You will have to add your
+username and password to the URL. Some OPDS clients do not asssist you with
+authentication. In that case the OPDS url will look like:
+
+`http(s)://username:password@host.tld(:9810)(/root_path)/opds/v1.2/`
+
+#### Supported OPDS Specifications
+
+- [OPDS 1.2](https://specs.opds.io/opds-1.2.html)
+- [OPDS-PSE 1.2](https://github.com/anansi-project/opds-pse/blob/master/v1.2.md)
+- [OPDS Authentication 1.0](https://drafts.opds.io/authentication-for-opds-1.0.html)
+- [OpenSearch 1.1](https://github.com/dewitt/opensearch)
+- [OPDS 2.0 (draft)](https://drafts.opds.io/opds-2.0.html)
+
+## <a name="troubleshooting">🩺 Troubleshooting</a>
+
+### 📒 Logs
+
+Codex collects its logs in the `config/logs` directory. Take a look to see what
+th e server is doing.
+
+You can change how much codex logs by setting the `LOGLEVEL` environment
+variable. By default this level is `INFO`. To see more verbose messages, run
+codex like:
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```bash
+LOGLEVEL=DEBUG codex
+```
+
+### Watching Filesystem Events with Docker
+
+Codex tries to watch for filesystem events to instantly update your comic
+libraries when they change on disk. But these native filesystem events are not
+translated between macOS & Windows Docker hosts and the Docker Linux container.
+If you find that your installation is not updating to filesystem changes
+instantly, you might try enabling polling for the affected libraries and
+decreasing the `poll_every` value in the Admin console to a frequency that suits
+you.
+
+### Emergency Database Repair
+
+If the database becomes corrupt, Codex includes a facitlity to rebuild the
+database. Place a file named `rebuild_db` in your Codex config directory like
+so:
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```sh
+touch config/rebuild_db
+```
+
+Shut down and restart Codex.
+
+The next time Codex starts it will back up the existing database and try to
+rebuild it. The database lives in the config directory as the file
+`config/db.sqlite3`. If this procedure goes kablooey, you may recover the
+original database at `config/db.sqlite3.backup`.

+### <a name="develop-codex">🛠 Develop</a>
+
+Codex is a Django Python webserver with a VueJS front end.
+
+`/codex/codex/` is the main django app which provides the webserver and
