kotatsu-v's Introduction

kotatsu

Hackable and easy to deploy imageboard software written in Guile/Scheme.
It should run right out of the box without the need to setup Apache2, Nginx, or a database.
By default it will use sqlite3 as the database and the built-in Artanis engine for serving data.

However, if more speed and scalability is required then services such as Apache2, Nginx, PostgresQL, and MySQL are also supported and can be enabled in the config files. This may require some code changes to allow storage of capcode posts.

Dependencies

guile 3.0.1
artanis 0.5.1
guile-dbi 2.1.8 (2.1.7 seems to no longer work , but then again maybe not?)
imagemagick, ffmpeg and webp
Nginx(artanis/kotatsu may still issues that require this)
Kernel version 3.9 or higher (allows binding multiple instances to the same port, for lower kernel versions recommend using Apache2 or Nginx)

Installation

Edit the Artanis config file to your liking: conf/artanis.conf
Edit the Kotatsu config file to your liking: prv/modules/settings.scm
Start the server with ./start-server
Unicode may not be configured properly on some distros(Ubuntu 18.04). These steps will resolve the annoying ???? unicode issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/770309/cannot-permanently-change-locale-on-16-04-server

kotatsu-v's Issues

About page expansion: More explanation of features

Some of the site's features are not documented on the site such as inline quoting.

Webm and Webp data are 8stream

Some file mime data is either not being written into storage correctly or read correctly. When served to clients it autoreturns 8tetstream mime type and forces some browsers into downloading content like a file.

Could put data into video tags and rework frontend as hack fix, but not best fix

Memory Issues Pt2

ECHibiki/Kotatsu-V-archived#4 managed to make it last a bit longer, however it still is having issues somewhere.
like in the case of ECHibiki/Kotatsu-V-archived#9 there will need to be some modifications to Artanis.

Better parsing of BB tags

Guile has limited regex with limited(or no) functionality for memory based operations such as look ahead or non-greedy syntax.

Instead of reinventing regex, might be better to use a queue, match a list of predetermined tags, push on a tag and when /tag is encountered knock off.
Case of remaining stack items is not met by any error, but will fail to be what the poster intended.

Tags = ([code], [b])
[code][\b][/code] upon match will replace code tags and produce [\b]
[code][b][/code] will be [code][b][/code] as it encounters a syntax error
[code][b][/code][/b] will be bold text inside of a code block
