szurubooru VS shimmie2

I've been accumulating art and pictures downloaded from the internet, what's a good way to store and tag them with the original artist and source? Maybe a simple solution would be just adding appropriate EXIF data to the files? This approach would still require a good folder structure to make sense of. Another option I came across was https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/index.html, but after trying it, the experience was really janky and not pleasant. Or I could even host an image booru so the collection would benefit others too, with https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru perhaps?

How do other people deal with it, I'm curious to hear.

also agree with hydrus network. im at 18million items. next best thing is probably something like a selfhosted booru server so that you can remotely organize files during your downtime on the toilet or jury duty.

I'm your savior, together with https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru

On unraid postgres is used by szurubooru, mealie, and grafana. I don't know specifically what but I know redis is also used by one of the apps in the cloud group as well.

If you need tagging / users and stuff for the images, I’ve used https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru

Honestly, your project makes me want to contribute to I but I have absolutely no experience with Golang. I see a lot of potential in it and because it's comparatively new and barebones, there aren't any entrenched concepts like with more mature projects. Like, if you ever get around to implementing a more comprehensive organization system, do check out Szurubooru. Tags and tag categories can replace Albums, Faces, Places, Objects, Themes, Colors, EXIF data and so much more. You can still use tooling like AI recognition, geotagging, EXIF readers, and whatnot to populate them accordingly but being standardized as TAGS makes searching and crawling much easier. Not to mention defining custom tags would allow for a very versatile usage. And with a fluid browsing like yours, it will be a dream app.

I can share something like that. There is this imageboard called (Szurubooru)[https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru]. People use such boards to host their anime and hentai stuff.

I kinda have something for Twitter accounts, said thing being this extension, but I stupidly don't use it enough. You see, I archive my posts using szurubooru, which is on a by-post basis, so everything has to be added one by one. (Technically, you can upload multiple at once but there's no function to add tags before upload, only after.)

So I am trying to host what's called a 'booru', a type of imageboard where images are given tags to help organize content. The specific booru software I'm using is called shimmie2, which is written in PHP. I have been testing it out on my local computer by running it on a PHP built-in web server. I'm aware that this isn't how web servers are hosted, which is why I'm here. I am a total noob when it comes to web hosting, so I want to be absolutely sure on what I'm doing before I make anything public.

Did you try to request it as a feature? https://github.com/shish/shimmie2

best is to check the github folder to give you a general idea. https://github.com/shish/shimmie2/tree/master/ext

I'm trying to run this and I think I have no idea whether or not it works on Windows: https://github.com/shish/shimmie2
