ViQa-Kissu is an expansion on top of the free light-weight, fast, highly configurable and user-friendly imageboard software package, ViChan. ViQa is written in PHP and has few dependencies. It aims to expand upon the current structure of ViChan to provide expanded functionality with a focus on more democratic and powerful system of moderation to beat spam while staying liked by your users.
On December 2018, ECHibiki started this repo to expose the source of /qa/'s Kissu.moe

vichan is a fork of (now defunc'd) Tinyboard, a great imageboard package, actively building on it and adding a lot of features and other improvements.
Some documentation may be found on our wiki. (feel free to contribute)
- PHP <= PHP 7.4.
- MySQL/MariaDB server
- mbstring
- PHP GD
- PHP PDO
- A Unix-like OS, preferrably FreeBSD or Linux. Notes. ViQa is developed on Ubuntu18.04 with an Ubuntu18.04 VPS Server
We try to make sure vichan is compatible with all major web servers. vichan does not include an Apache .htaccess
file nor does it need one.
- MySQL/MariaDB server >= 5.5.3
- ImageMagick (command-line ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick preferred).
- APC (Alternative PHP Cache), XCache or Memcached
You can contribute to vichan by:
- Developing patches/improvements/translations and using GitHub to submit pull requests
- Providing feedback and suggestions
- Writing/editing documentation
-
Download and extract vichan to your web directory or get the latest development version with:
git clone git://github.com/vichan-devel/vichan.git
-
Navigate to
install.php
in your web browser and follow the prompts. -
vichan should now be installed. Log in to
mod.php
with the default username and password combination: admin / password.
Please remember to change the administrator account password.

To upgrade from any version of Tinyboard or vichan:
Either run git pull
to update your files, if you used git, or
backup your inc/instance-config.php
, replace all your files in place
(don't remove boards etc.), then put inc/instance-config.php
back and
finally run install.php
.
To migrate from a Kusaba X board, use http://github.com/vichan-devel/Tinyboard-Migration
vichan is still beta software -- there are bound to be bugs. If you find a bug, please report it.
There are a few command line interface tools, based on Tinyboard-Tools. These need
to be launched from a Unix shell account (SSH, or something). They are located in a tools/
directory.
You actually don't need these tools for your imageboard functioning, they are aimed at the power users. You won't be able to run these from shared hosting accounts (i.e. all free web servers).
vichan makes use of wPaint for oekaki. After you pull the repository, however, you will need to download wPaint separately using git's submodule
feature. Use the following commands:
git submodule init
git submodule update
To enable oekaki, add all the scripts listed in js/wpaint.js
to your instance-config.php
.
Read inc/lib/webm/README.md
for information about enabling webm.
vichan provides by default a 4chan-compatible JSON API. For documentation on this, see: https://github.com/vichan-devel/vichan-API/ .
