Add a model for storing image and video metadata for uploaded files. Metadata is extracted using ExifTool. You will need to install ExifTool after this commit. ExifTool 12.22 is the minimum required version because we use the `--binary` option, which was added in this release. The MediaMetadata model is separate from the MediaAsset model because some files contain tons of metadata, and most of it is non-essential. The MediaAsset model represents an uploaded file and contains essential metadata, like the file's size and type, while the MediaMetadata model represents all the other non-essential metadata associated with a file. Metadata is stored as a JSON column in the database. ExifTool returns all the file's metadata, not just the EXIF metadata. EXIF is one of several types of image metadata, hence why we call it MediaMetadata instead of EXIFMetadata.
Quickstart
Clone this repository and run bin/danbooru to start a basic Danbooru instance:
git clone https://github.com/danbooru/danbooru
cd danbooru
./bin/danbooru
This will install Docker Compose and use it to start Danbooru. This will take several minutes and produce lots of output. When it's done, Danbooru will be running at http://localhost.
Alternatively, if you already have Docker Compose installed, you can just do:
docker-compose -f config/docker/docker-compose.simple.yaml up
Manual Installation
Follow the INSTALL.debian script to install Danbooru.
The INSTALL.debian script is written for Debian, but can be adapted for other distributions. Danbooru has been successfully installed on Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, and OS X. It is recommended that you use an Ubuntu-based system since Ubuntu is what is used in development and production.
See here for a guide on how set up Danbooru inside a virtual machine.
For best performance, you will need at least 256MB of RAM for PostgreSQL and Rails. The memory requirement will grow as your database gets bigger.
In production, Danbooru uses PostgreSQL 10.18, but any release later than this should work.
Troubleshooting
If your setup is not working, here are the steps I usually recommend to people:
-
Test the database. Make sure you can connect to it using
psql. Make sure the tables exist. If this fails, you need to work on correctly installing PostgreSQL, importing the initial schema, and running the migrations. -
Test the Rails database connection by using
bin/rails console. RunPost.countto make sure Rails can connect to the database. If this fails, you need to make sure your Danbooru configuration files are correct. -
Test Nginx to make sure it's working correctly. You may need to debug your Nginx configuration file.
-
Check all log files.
