No description
Add deprecation annotation for functions that are not idiomatic to the new database logic. These functions (and mostly the code that uses them) will have to be replaced over time to use the new features of the design. |

Gochan
A semi-standalone imageboard server written in Go
Gochan works in a manner similar to Kusaba X, Tinyboard and others. As such, Gochan generates static HTML files which can optionally be served by a separate web server.
Demo installation: https://gochan.org
Installation
Basic installation (from a release)
- Extract the .tar.gz or the .zip file into a directory (for example, your home directory)
- Copy gochan.example.json to either gochan.json or (if you're in a UNIX-like OS) /etc/gochan/gochan.json and modify it as needed. See the Configuration section for more info.
- If you're using nginx, copy gochan-http.nginx, or gochan-fastcgi.nginx if
UseFastCGI
is set to true to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/, or the appropriate folder in Windows. - If you're using a Linux distribution with systemd, you can optionally copy gochan.service to /lib/systemd/system/gochan.service and run
systemctl enable gochan.service
to have it run on startup. Then runsystemctl start gochan.service
to start it as a background service.- If you aren't using a distro with systemd, you can start a screen session and run
/path/to/gochan
- If you aren't using a distro with systemd, you can start a screen session and run
- Go to http://[gochan url]/manage?action=staff, log in (default username/password is admin/password), and create a new admin user (and any other staff users as necessary). Then delete the admin user for security.
Configuration
- Make sure to set
DBtype
,DBhost
,DBname
,DBusername
, andDBpassword
, since these are required to connect to your SQL database. ValidDBtype
values are "mysql", "postgres", and "sqlite3".- To connect to a MySQL database, set
DBhost
to "tcp(ip:3306)" or a different port, if necessary. - To connect to a PostgreSQL database, set
DBhost
to the IP address or hostname. Using a UNIX socket may work as well, but it is currently untested. - To connect to a SQLite database, set
DBhost
to the path of the database file. It will be created if it does not already exist.
- To connect to a MySQL database, set
- Set
DomainRegex
,SiteDomain
, since these are necessary in order to post and log in as a staff member. - If you want to see debugging info/noncritical warnings, set verbosity to 1.
Installation using Docker
See docker/README.md
For developers (using Vagrant)
- Install Vagrant and Virtualbox. Vagrant lets you create a virtual machine and run a custom setup/installation script to make installation easier and faster.
- From the command line, cd into vagrant/ and run
vagrant up
. By default, MySQL/MariaDB is used, but if you want to test with a different SQL type, runGC_DBTYPE=dbtype vagrant up
, replacing "dbtype" with either mysql, postgresql, or sqlite3. - After it finishes installing the Ubuntu VM, follow the printed instructions.
Theme development
See sass/README.md
for information on working with Sass and stylesheets.
