Rewrite the implementation of related tags to be simpler, faster, and more accurate: * The related tags are now calculated by taking a random sample of 1000 posts, finding the top 250 most frequent tags among those posts, then ordering those tags by cosine similarity. * Related tags can generally be calculated in 50-300ms at these sample sizes. Very high sample sizes (25000+ posts) are still relatively fast (1-3 seconds), but generally they don't improve accuracy much. * Related tags are now cached in redis rather than in the tags table. The related_tags column in the tags table is no longer used. * Only the related tags in the search taglist are cached. The related tags returned by the 'Related tags' button are not cached. * The cache lifetime is a fixed 4 hours. * The 'Related tags' button now works with metatags. * The /related_tag page now works with metatags and multitag searches. Fixes #4134, #4146.
Installation
It is recommended that you install Danbooru on a Debian-based system since most of the required packages are available on APT. Danbooru has been successfully installed on Fedora, CentOS, FreeBSD, and OS X. The INSTALL.debian install script is straightforward and should be simple to adapt for other platforms.
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.
On production Danbooru uses PostgreSQL 9.4, but any 9.x release should work.
Use your operating system's package management system whenever possible. This will simplify the process of installing init scripts, which will not always happen when compiling from source.
Troubleshooting
These instructions won't work for everyone. 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 rails console. Run Post.count to 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.
Services
Danbooru employs numerous external services to delegate some functionality.
For development purposes, you can just run mocked version of these
services. They're available in scripts/mock_services and can be started
automatically using Foreman and the provided Procfile.
Amazon Web Services
In order to enable the following features, you will need an AWS SQS account:
- Pool versions
- Post versions
- IQDB
- Saved searches
- Related tags
Google APIs
The following features requires a Google API account:
- Bulk revert
- Post versions report
IQDB Service
IQDB integration is delegated to the IQDBS service.
Archive Service
In order to access versioned data for pools and posts you will need to install and configure the Archives service.
Reportbooru Service
The following features are delegated to the Reportbooru service:
- Related tags
- Missed searches report
- Popular searches report
- Favorite searches
- Upload trend graphs
Recommender Service
Post recommendations require the Recommender service.
Cropped Thumbnails
There's optional support for cropped thumbnails. This relies on installing
libvips-8.6 or higher and setting Danbooru.config.enable_image_cropping
to true.
