+# imag: weird image board thingy
+
+> note: this is a fork of a project that doesn't exist anymore. this document is mostly paraphrased from README.original.md.
+
+this is intended to be hacked upon! please do make forks and tell the creator what you've made. our "showcase" is at [quotes.everypizza.im](https://quotes.everypizza.im/).
+it has an import from quotes.ari.lt, however said import was missing some images. if anyone has those, please reach out!
+
+# prerequisites
+
+-   tesseract
+-   tesseract data
+-   python
+
+# bot
+
+it seems nobody has the source code for the Matrix bot as far as this one can tell. it might ask Ari later though.
+
+# running
+
+first run:
+```sh
+python3 src/main.py
+```
+this generates a key. keep it, you need it to add new images!
+
+afterwards:
+```sh
+rm -rf src/images src/instance
+```
+### step-by-step
+
+> these are directly from the original docs.
+
+this comes from an email i 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 )
