Add a Restricted user level. Restricted users are level 10, below Members. New users start out as Restricted if they sign up from a proxy or an IP recently used by another user. Restricted users can't update or edit any public content on the site until they verify their email address, at which point they're promoted to Member. Restricted users are only allowed to do personal actions like keep favorites, keep favgroups and saved searches, mark dmails as read or deleted, or mark forum posts as read. The restricted state already existed before, the only change here is that now it's an actual user level instead of a hidden state. Before it was based on two hidden flags on the user, the `requires_verification` flag (set when a user signs up from a proxy, etc), and the `is_verified` flag (set after the user verifies their email). Making it a user level means that now the Restricted status will be shown publicly. Introducing a new level below Member means that we have to change every `is_member?` check to `!is_anonymous` for every place where we used `is_member?` to check that the current user is logged in.
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

IQDB Service
IQDB integration is delegated to the IQDBS service.

to true.
