dibd is a decentralized ImageBoard daemon written in Java. It can use various backend types, currently supported are MySQL and PostgreSQL (CouchDB in development).
Part of main project diboard
The requirements for building and running dibd are:
- Apache Maven
- Java 8 JDK (or newer)
- PostgreSQL/MySQL installation
dibd uses Apache Maven for building and dependency managing. Use the following command to build and package dibd:
$ mvn clean compile package
To start dibd on port 9119:
$ mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="dibd.App" -Dexec.args="-p 9119"
You may want dibd to listen on the default NNTP port (119) without running as root user. This can be achieved by redirecting all TCP connections on port 119 to a higher port where dibd can listen as unprivileged user:
# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 119 -j REDIRECT --to-port 9119
- Create a database in your database system, e.g. named like 'dibd' and give it a dedicated database user
- Create the necessary table structure using the dibd.sql file here
- Customize the settings within the dibd.conf file
- Start dibd as described above
