Mei is a Futaba-styled imageboard, allowing people to discuss and upload pictures. My aim is to improve the user interface to my liking, instead of mimicking the traditional Futaba's look & feel.
Visit the wiki to see more information! I try to minimize number of commits so documentations are all over there!
- Multi-image upload
- Image upload using url
- Better user interface
- Multi-board support
- Extensible
Requires docker and docker-compose installed on your box.
First run:
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
cp config/environments/default.yml.example config/environments/default.yml
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec app bundle exec rake db:create
docker-compose exec app bundle exec rake db:migrate
docker-compose exec app bundle exec rake db:seed
Then visit localhost:3000/i in your browser.
Start server:
docker-compose up -d #-d for daemon mode in the background
Stop server:
docker-compose stop
Run specs:
docker-compose build app
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec app bundle exec rspec
Useful aliases to avoid repetitive typing (place in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc):
# NOTE: this includes `bundle exec` by default from the Dockerfile's `ENTRYPOINT`
alias d="docker-compose exec app "
alias dc="docker-compose "
Boot into the Rails console with rails c. Then you can run commands such as:
Topic.destroy_all clear out the default topic its nested posts
Post.destroy_all clear all posts, across all boards
Post.find(idhere).destroy delete a post
Topic.find(idhere).destroy delete a topic and all of its nested posts
Post.find(idhere).update_attribute(:content_html, "<p>I didn't say that!</p>") update a specific post
Board.find_by_seo_name("i").topics.destroy_all clear all topics/posts on the specified board
Board.all list all boards, including the default /i/
Board.first.update_attributes(seo_name: "b", name: "Random") updates the default board info
Board.create(seo_name: "a", name: "Anime") creates a new board
You can replace app/views/application/index.html with whatever you want in order to change the home page. You can also edit/replace partials in app/views/partials/_global for _bottom_of_footer.erb, _bottom_of_head.erb, _top_of_header.erb, and _after_form.erb to customize the global content. To override these settings on a per-board basis, create a corresponding version for your board name. For example to override the global footer with one specific to /i/ you'd create a app/views/partials/i/_bottom_of_footer.erb
bottom_of_head placed at the bottom of to insert custom javascipt/css
top_of_header top nav bar
bottom_of_footer footer content
after_form content underneath the post form such as news or board rules
