MangaDex@ Home Changes and Update
The amount of people volunteering servers to participate in MangaDex@ Home is greater than we could have imagined. We can only accept 50 clients per week due to cert issue limits but we have enough to fill in the next two weeks at the very least. The most recent update to the backend will allow us to assign multiple clients from a single user to a single cert, freeing up certs to give to people who have applied and are waiting.
20% of all clients are currently offline, we'd like to ask people to keep them on as much possible as one of the requirements for registering was that you would be able to run it 24/7. If you turned your client off due to the bandwidth/CPU load being too high there is a new client version to limit CPU usage. You can also PM @ixlone and have the amount of requests sent your way lowered. We have a support channel for those running clients on our Discord server.
Currently all users and all guests are set to receive images from the MangaDex@ Home network and the initiative itself has brought our cache server traffic down to acceptable levels. MangaDex@ Home is still in it's beta testing stage but we may reach a stable version soon. We're currently on Release Candidate Version 15 (RC15) of the client after bug fixing and performance updates. Regional routing was disabled at first as we slowly built up our client count but it has now been re-enabled. Until we're fully confident that the network is stable, the option to switch MangaDex@ Home off will be available here.
The network assignment algorithm is designed to be spread across a lot more clients than we currently have in service. This may well be leading to failed images in your region as certain clients are getting overloaded at times. Bear with us, as we add more and more clients to the network the load will be spread around more fairly. Most clients are already reporting 98-99% success rates with image loading to users.
New Affiliate Links
We have a new affiliate: VeePN - a VPN provider as you may guess by their name. If you are considering getting a VPN, we would recommend you get it through these guys. We will be adding links to selected affiliates on the homepage near the "links" section soon.

Looking for a Symfony developer for MangaDex v5
MangaDex v5 is the next big step for our codebase to evolve to, a complete rewrite of both frontend and backend.
Lately we started to recruit developers to help out building new tools or improve parts of our infrastructure and we had great success with that.
In similar fashion I want to reach out to developers for the backend part, who would be willing to donate part of their time and expertise to the MangaDex project.
The aim is to create a backend application based on the Symfony php framework that is feature-complete with the current codebase in its first iteration.
The reality of MangaDex requires us to get creative with the tools that are at our disposal to deal with the high traffic and constant attacks, so a certain experience with related applications is beneficial, solid understanding of the Symfony framework is assumed.
To get an idea what we're looking for: php7 and Symfony experience with the following components:
cli, messenger, apis, doctrine/orm, serialization.
bonus points: docker, caching, data projection, phpunit, SOLID principles, elasticsearch, rabbitmq/similar, nginx, gitlab CI, JWT
Benefits are: Real experience with a Site that handles around 4 million users per month and thousands of requests per minute. A passionate staff that grows with your input and helps you grow with our unique challenges. And lots of meming.
If you can tick of most of the boxes (even if not all of the reqired boxes, we're reasonable) contact us!
Discord: rdn#1662 or per email rdn@mangadex.com
Link to your previous work at your own discretion, chances are you already know what we would be interested in
