Danbooru

Where can I download Danbooru?

Posted under General

Though I submit that if you can't even find the danbooru source, you wouldn't be able to install it anyway. A working knowledge of searching the web is a prerequisite for that (and the install script is the first hit on google).

Let's be fair though, for someone to think to go straight to Danbooru to look for it isn't exactly a dumb idea. But coming to the main page, it is not obvious where it is. Hell it took me awhile to find it just now by looking around (hadn't had reason to look before).

Main page - no direct links to the source, nor links to any page that directly links the source.

Think to click the "»" and see the big page of links on /more - no direct links to the source, nor links to any page that links directly to the source, even with all those options, from what I could find.

The "easiest" way I found to get to it was totally by accident. I clicked a few of the many "Help" links to no avail, and from there clicked the little "List" link in the corner and got a long list of help links, soome of which, like Source Code, appear to be orphans as far as the main /more page is concerned.

Should hassan have googled? Yeah probably, but he may have googled, well, "danbooru" and gotten http://danbooru.donmai.us.

Anyway, tl;dr it's probably meant to be linked on the /more page but got missed. So: http://danbooru.donmai.us/help/source_code has the link.

(Now if he asks what an svn: link is, then maybe there's a bigger problem. Not that *I* know what it is either, but then I'm not trying to install Danbooru and don't program things.)

Updated

not necessarily, svn copy [link] [/dest/] or similar is all that a casual non-developer needs from subversion.

besides, blundering around with source code and lamenting ineffective installation is a great way to learn server side scripting :D

and having said that, i'll probably give it a crack too.

You should also checkout wikipedia and look up wiki's; it has a pretty comprehensive list of the ones are currently available, and lays it out in a nice feature comparision/requirements style.

Depending on your level of knowledge and resources you should be able to find something that matches up (I'm assuming your looking to organize your own images?) with what you've got. Also be sure to check out the documentation/support, the one I personally chose to manage my own images (Shimmie2) has the most vague installation instructions: 1.Install Shimmie, Install Apache, MySql & PHP. 2.Configure Apache to use PHP. 3.Go to index.php and begin board configuration.

If you don't know how to do any of the steps on your own, you're in trouble since there's little to no documentation on how to setup each component, it assumes you have the knowledge to do so on your own. Fortunately almost all the available types of wiki's out there use GNU based software, so it doesn't cost you anything to install (or try).

jxh2154 i don't know what to say! :D

Well I don't know what is svn anyway forget about it looks long trip just to setup Danbooru.

I hope Danbooru make an easy script installation like PHP and thanks for everyone who tried to help me out, thanks again guys!

Seriously though, it would be nice if the debian install script was updated. I briefly tried installing Danbooru myself on an Ubuntu VM using the install doc and about three other guides from various points in Danbooru's development (Between which dependencies and such have changed).

Needless to say I ran into issues, and haven't since had the time needed to work things out. Danbooru's a bit more complicated than many web apps, but it'd be nice if there was a script where you could say something like: Start with a fresh install of such and such OS (pick your flavor) with the default options and run this script to build and install the dependencies and set up a generic *booru . At least it would lower the entry barrier significantly.

It'd be great if someone with experience in tuning danbooru for offline use would create a VMware image of a minimal OS running danbooru and distribute it.

VMWare image with Danbooru 1.18 running on Ubuntu 8.04 (tested on Server 1.0.x and Player 2.0):
http://dedicated.yosome.org/Danbooru-1.18.rar.torrent

The first user account created on the site will be an admin.

username: danbooru
password: danbooru
CPU: 1, add the "numvcpus" line to "Ubuntu.vmx" if you want/need more
RAM: 384MB, can be changed using the "memsize" line in "Ubuntu.vmx", 128MB is probably the bare minimum
DISK: 500GB, inital size is 2.5GB and will expand as needed
Services: Apache, Postgres, SSH, Samba
NETWORK: DHCP, netbios name is set to 'danbooru', so http://danbooru/ should work for most Windows clients

If you run into any problems with eth0 vanishing and another eth# appears, run the following command and reboot:
sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Feels good to know I"m not the only one. I've been trying to install on an Arch distro for about a week now (I know it strays from debian a rather lot, but the conversion isn't so hard.)

Thank you kind sir! Downloading now, prepared to seed for the foreseeable future. Hoping at the very least that this will shed some light on my own problems, and that I can write an Arch friendly install guide.

Sorry to occupy your time.
I've spent quite a few days to install Danbooru on Debian_5.03. First time to deal with RoR and PostgreSQL is such a challenge. Finally I made the script/server run but it fails while uploading. I thought where might be something wrong with the database.
I'd like to download Danbooru-1.18.rar as compare but the tracker has never been connected. Is there something wrong with my network?
Is there some other way to get Danbooru-1.18.rar?
Is there something like FAQ on Danbooru installation?
Many thanks.

Uploading images makes internal error. The Wiki page always fails saying column "tag_index" does not exit.

If export RAILS_ENV=production Rake is always aborted by saying no such file to load -- application. Else rake db:migrate would abouted saying could not access file "%libdir/test_parser" on " 20090208201752 AddFullTextIndexOnPostTags.

It seems that I messed up the database. And now I'm learning postgreSQL. It quite differs from MySQL. =_||

Thank you for your time.

i now that this is an old thread, but if someone, anyone, still has this vmware image, pleas re'up it, i have been pulling my hair out over the unbelievable number of problems i, and my colleges have been having trying to get this software installed to no avail, so if ANYONE still has this file please share
