MoringMark Archive

https://moringmark.grzegorzkoperwas.site/

An archive of The Owl House comics made by u/makmark and posted to the subreddit.

Made cause I wanted to read all the parts of Grom Factor in order.

Features:

• Individual comics are merged into series
  • series recognition based on a custom grammar!
• A sortable list of comics
• OCR in alt text
• Automatic update via scheduled jobs

It is just a static website built from json files, what more do you expect from it.

Technical stuff

I used this project to learn AWS.

The website is hosted by an s3, proxied by cloudfront.

Two ECS tasks (built by github actions) process reddit posts and store them in s3, simple stuff.

How to develop

Requirements:

• A unixlike operating system
• node and npm
• python 3.12 and poetry

Instructions:

1. Clone the repo
2. Acquire reddit API secret and export it into env variable SECRET.
   • Alternatively use the ./get_example_results_from_scraper.sh to download example data for frontend development
3. Go to ./scraper and launch poetry install to install scraper dependencies
4. Launch poetry run -m src to gather the data from reddit
   • You can pass an env parameter COMIC_LIMIT to limit the amount of comics
5. Go to ./front and launch npm install
6. Run npm run dev to see the development version in your browser
7. Run npm run build to see the final result

There is also a docker-compose file, you could add some volumes to make it work locally or add references to two s3 buckets in BUCKET and DESTINATION env variables.
