# imag

> simple image board, intended for a quotebook of screenshots

the imag image board is made to be simple, though separated, so you
could easily add or remove features, update them, etc

example instance: https://quotes.everypizza.im/

# bot

there's a matrix bot at n/quotes-bot and a very WIP rewrite in python at n/quotes-bot-python.s

# docs & running

see the [doc directory](/doc) for documentation, it also has an example nginx and caddy config,
and you can also run the app using [./scripts/run.sh](./scripts/run.sh) to match that config - but don't run it using
the run.sh as the first run.

running with gunicorn (run.sh) is for production use, for master key generation (first run), please
run it in dev mode:

```sh
python3 src/main.py
```

(make sure to save the key!)
and only then with gunicorn

if you already ran it in production and don't know where the key is, run the following command :

```sh
rm -rf src/instance
```

and then run it in debug

### step-by-step

this comes from an email the original creator got from a user:

1. clone the repository : `git clone https://ari.lt/gh/imag && cd imag`
2. make sure you have virtualenv installed ( either through python-virtualenv / python3-virtualenv / py3-virtualenv packages, or by pip - `python3 -m pip install --user --break-system-packages --upgrade virtualenv`
3. ensure you have sqlite3 and memcached installed : `apt install sqlite3 memcached`
4. create a new virtual environment : `python3 -m virtualenv venv && source venv/bin/activate`
5. install the dependencies in the environment : `pip install -r requirements.txt`
6. run the app by either running `scripts/run.sh` or by manually starting memcached and running `src/main.py` with gunicorn ( i assume you're reverse proxying it anyway )
