Tranga V2 [postgres-Server-V2]

[C9Glax]

I could have sworn we had a PR to track this... Anyways

Tranga V2

... is going to be a complete rewrite with a completely different backend and a lot friendlier to work with (I hope).

Postgres DB & Entity Framework

Instead of using files for persistence of internal data, all data will be stored in a Postgres-Database. This will get rid of all file-permission problems (duplicaties, overwrites, ...) as well as provide the ability to more easily change what data is stored in the future. To facilitate this we are using EF with npgsql.

REST API

For communication we are switching from the custom HttpRequest-Handler to ASP.NET with a Controller-Based-Model. Documentation will also be significantly easier with Swagger.
The Endpoints are going to change, so a redesign of the frontend would be appropriate. I have a React-app in mind, but anything that is more maintainable that a monolithic, static webpage would be a step forward.

Issues/Features that will be included on release:

• Return latest chapternumber with Manga #74 (Both what we have downloaded and what we "know" from the downloadsite)
• See/Edit interval for jobs #114
• Add Global Search #124
• Enable/Disable Connectors #180
• Add dialog/option to map Chapter(number)s to existing files. #222
  • API: Add Update-file-location-endpoint
• Resize Cover-Images before transfer (to save data) #229
• [Feature Request] Enable compression of the downloaded images #236
• Possible to select download language? #247
• [Enhancement]: Arbitrary REST Notification Webhook #259
• [Improvement]: Modifiable Gotfy priority value #297
• Mangaconnector: Add Icon #362

Got a lot done @ale-ben !
I think basic functionality is working!

I only have tested MangaDex so far, but Search work, downloading works, the cover is retrievable, some random Endpoints that I tested also worked...

@C9Glax sorry I haven't done much...
When I started working on V2 I had lot of spare time, lately I don't.

If you need help with minor things or testing, let me know

@ale-ben No worries, same here, its been going for a year at this point and there have been lots of times where there is just no time, or motivation, or both.

Wanted to keep you in the loop because you seemed interested and have been maintaining that MangaConnector (which thank you again, great help), and wanted to maybe give you a motivation boost too seeing that work is being done 👍🏼

I'll let you know when I get around to beta (frontend also on V2 endpoints).
