Features of AVIF include: * Lossless and lossy compression. * High dynamic range (HDR) images * Wide color gamut images (i.e. 10- and 12-bit color depths) * Transparency (through alpha planes). * Animations (with an optional cover image). * Auxiliary image sequences, where the file contains a single primary image and a short secondary video, like Apple's Live Photos. * Metadata rotation, mirroring, and cropping. The AVIF format is still relatively new and some of these features aren't well supported by browsers or other software: * Animated AVIFs aren't supported by Firefox or by libvips. * HDR images aren't supported by Firefox. * Rotated, mirrored, and cropped AVIFs aren't supported by Firefox or Chrome. * Image grids, where the file contains multiple images that are tiled together into one big image, aren't supported by Firefox. * AVIF as a whole has only been supported for a year or two by Chrome and Firefox, and less than a year by Safari. For these reasons, only basic AVIFs that don't use animation, rotation, cropping, or image grids can be uploaded.
Quickstart
Run this to start a basic Danbooru instance:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danbooru/danbooru/master/bin/danbooru | sh
This will install Docker Compose and use it to start Danbooru. When it's done, Danbooru will be running at http://localhost:3000.
Alternatively, if you already have Docker Compose installed, you can just do:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danbooru/danbooru/master/docker-compose.yaml
docker-compose 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.
