Remove the ability to edit an artist's wiki page directly from the artist edit page. Instead the artist edit page has a link to open the wiki edit page if you need to edit the wiki too. Fixes an error being thrown when renaming an artist with a wiki page. The problem is that changing the artist's name breaks the artist's association with the old wiki page. Rails really wants nested associations to be based on immutable IDs, not on mutable names, so dealing with this correctly is difficult. We don't really want to encourage people to create wiki pages for artists to begin with, since they're usually just used to duplicate the artist urls. Making it less convenient to edit artist wiki pages is an intentional change to discourage creating unnecessary artist wikis. Finally, this fixes an exploit where it was possible to edit locked wiki pages through the artist edit page.
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.

- Bulk revert
- Post versions report
IQDB Service
IQDB integration is delegated to the IQDBS 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.
