This project is based on original Moebooru which is being used in yande.re Image Board. Changes compared to original Moebooru:

• Compatible with Ruby 1.9, JRuby 1.7, and Rubinius 2.0
• Uses Rails 4.0
• Updated gems
• Pool ZIP support for nginx (with mod_zip)

As this is still in development, bug reports are welcome.

• Demo site
• Source Repository

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

• Ruby 1.9+
• PostgreSQL (tested with 8.4, 9.1, and 9.2)
• Bundler gem
• ImageMagick
• And various other requirement for the gems (check Gemfile for the list)

On RHEL5 (and 6), it goes like this:

• gcc
• gcc-c++
• ImageMagick
• jhead
• libxslt-devel
• libyaml-devel
• git
• openssl-devel
• pcre-devel
• postgresql84-contrib
• postgresql84-devel
• postgresql84-server
• readline-devel

Base and EPEL repositories contain all the requirements.

On Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS

• apt-get install postgresql-contrib python-software-properties postgresql libpq-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev mercurial jhead build-essential libgd2-noxpm-dev

• Brightbox repo would work if you're too lazy to compile ruby

• add the ppa and then apt-get install ruby1.9.3

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

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

And then install the required PostgreSQL extensions:

• language plpgsql
• test_parser

using these commands:

--- postgresql 9.1+
postgres# \c template1
postgres# create extension test_parser;

--- postgresql 8.3, 8.4
postgres# \c template1
postgres# create language plpgsql;
postgres# \q
--- postgresql 8.3, 8.4, 9.0 - from shell
# sudo -u postgres psql -d template1 -f "`pg_config --sharedir`/contrib/test_parser.sql"

• Run bundle install
• Create config/database.yml and 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)

• Bug fixes
• Documentation
• And more!
