Moebooru

An image board.

• Source Repository

Requirements

As this is ongoing project, there will be more changes on requirement as this project goes. Currently this application is developed using:

• Ruby 2.6
• PostgreSQL 12
• Bundler gem
• ImageMagick
• And various other requirement for the gems (check Gemfile for the list)

On Debian, it goes like this:

gcc ffmpeg gcc-c++ ImageMagick jhead libxslt-devel libyaml-devel git
openssl-devel pcre-devel postgre94-devel postgresql94-server readline-devel libmagic-devel
libvips42

Base, EPEL, and postgresql official repositories contain all the requirements.

Note: postgresql related package can follow up your current installation.

Installation

Database Setup

After initializing PostgreSQL database, create user for moebooru with createdb privilege:

postgres# create user moebooru_user with password 'the_password' createdb;

Rails Setup

• Run bundle install
• Create config/local_config.rb
• Initialize database with bundle exec rake db:reset (there will be some errors reported which is expected)
• Run bundle exec rake db:migrate
• Start the server (bundle exec unicorn or bundle exec puma if using JRuby/Rubinius)

Reverse Proxy (Nginx) Note

• Do not forget to set X-Forwarded-Host field. This may break a lot if you forgot.

Configuration

See config/local_config.rb.example. Additionally, as I move to ENV-based configuration, here's the list of currently supported ENV variables:

• MB_DATABASE_URL: sets database connection configuration. Syntax: postgres://<user>(:<pass>)@<host>(:<port>)/<dbname>.
• MB_MEMCACHE_SERVERS: addresses of memcache servers. Separated by comma.
• MB_PIWIK_HOST: sets the host this application will attempt to contact a Piwik installation at. Defaults to false to not use Piwik if unset.
• MB_PIWIK_ID: sets the Site ID this application will send analytics data for.
• MB_THREADS: sets number of threads this application is running. Currently used to determine number of connection pool for memcached. Defaults to 1 if unset.

• Documentation
