I tried it but it's a hit and miss, depends on the language used. I have zero luck on lua image boards while JS-based image boards are fairly easy. Many ib softwares doesn't support whonix, only gentoo, as you need to direct your browser to its installation folder. Whonix doesnt allow that.

P37231 make sure you hve installed all the dependencies luajit fastcgi also you need to configure the webserver (i recommend nginx) to run lua

Obviously you would need to know how to setup a web server. I think picochan had decent installation instructions, but I don't know where you can find its source nowadays. Maybe a nanon has it archived?

>you need to direct your browser to its installation folder
Don't you mean web server? The browser should only connect to the server, not try to open anything directly from the disk

See http://www.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/Hidden_Services

I added a script that installs this board's software on one particular OS (with the idea that this documents dependencies and how things can be set up so that other people can do the analogous thing on their machines; note that it calls another script will install other dependencies in the chroot). If you have trouble figuring out how to get things working, feel free to ask.

P37306 hi I have tried your script in a new whonix instance and i gonna say its good because it inst6alls all the dependencies but i received the "Error: near line 579: no such function: LOG"

lol no

P37349
You need a more recent version of sqlite. The LOG function was added in 3.35.0.
https://www.sqlite.org/changes.html#version_3_35_0

P37360
Uh? What are you using a logarithm for?

P37367
Choosing the unit and precision for displayed file sizes.

P37360
i have complied and installed latest sqlite3, changed the repo to bullseye. everything is configured, webserver, torrc and now I get the blue page. I can post, upload files but there are minor bugs. posts on //spam/, /test/ are shown on overboard and everytime i reboot my pc the posts are gone, the files stay on srv/board/files/. i tried creating board.db and private.db in sqlite3 it doesnt seems to solve the issue. new posts are gone each reboot

P37436
Is the @reboot line in the crontab actually getting run on reboot?

P37436
P37437
Found the issue, apparently chroot wasn't in the path when the crontab entry was trying to run it. So you have to give it the explicit path. I updated crontab.txt to reflect this.

>posts on //spam/, /test/ are shown on overboard
That has to be set up by a moderator action. There's no web UI for it at the moment, so what you have to do is make sure you're in the Source directory, open up luajit / lua, and do

require('tl').loader()
mod = require('mod')
mod.config_board{mod='admin', board='test', overboard_exclude=true}

P37437

yes, when I ran the script, I got an error message "no crontab for [username]" so I created the crontab file for that [username] then I ran only the crontab line in one of the .sh file .

(crontab -l || true; cat crontab.txt) | crontab -


here is my crontab file

user@host:~$ crontab -l

@reboot chroot --userspec "$(id -u board):$(id -g board)" /mnt/board /bin/sh -c 'cd /srv/board/Source && ./rebuild.sh'
* * * * * chroot --userspec "$(id -u board):$(id -g board)" /mnt/board /bin/sh -c 'cd /srv/board/Source && ./captcha_fill.lua'

P37439 the /source in the install dir or the one created by git?

P37439

i have manually ran these with sudo in terminall

sudo /sbin/chroot --userspec "$(id -u board):$(id -g board)" /mnt/board /bin/sh -c 'cd /srv/board/Source && ./rebuild.sh'


sudo /sbin/chroot --userspec "$(id -u board):$(id -g board)" /mnt/board /bin/sh -c 'cd /srv/board/Source && ./clean.lua'


sudo /sbin/chroot --userspec "$(id -u board):$(id -g board)" /mnt/board /bin/sh -c 'cd /srv/board/Data && sqlite3 board.db .dump > board.sql.tmp && gzip board.sql.tmp && mv board.sql.tmp.gz board.sql.gz'


and the posts are back. But these commands wont run on startup. do I need to add (((sudo))) in crontab.txt too?

P37442
If you look at install.sh, it's appending the stuff in crontab.txt to root's crontab. But the only reason it's doing that is to descend into the chroot, which isn't necessary in your case. And I've been meaning to migrate away from the chroot setup myself to something more secure. So I'm going to rewrite the install script to remove all references to the chroot, or perhaps have it only as an option. This should also alleviate confusion about what's installed inside the chroot and what's outside, which should alleviate issues like P37446.

First

P37461

P37476
The relevant error is
>attempt to write a readonly database
and the likely cause is I forgot to tell you that you need to be the root user to do this. Otherwise you get permissions issues.

P37478
It's
mod.move_to_board{mod='admin', posts={3}, dest='spam'}

When I'm done eliminating the chroot stuff, I'll add the script I use, which also displays the available methods.

P37511 i tried running luajit as root, set the Data and source folder permissions to read/write for anyone. i still get the readonly error

turns out i have to run luajit / lua as user "board"

sudo --user board luajit

P37511
>root user
I meant to write "board", sorry
P37526
This is correct

based software. i can figure out many luajit mod commands. although, i have zero knowledge of lua. i had fun playing around with it like creating a mod named faggot, posting using the newly created faggot account and delete it with a reason gay mod's rambling.
no-gui modding is great cause you dont have to deal with web browsers. many browsers liek (((firefox))) has telemetry.

why is the command unban_files deletes file instead of unbanning it?

require('tl').loader()
mod = require('mod')
mod.unban_files{mod='admin', posts={23}}

and how do you automactically move, redact repetitive (spammy) posts?

would be better if you add ability to use /File directory on multiple drives or partitions in case the system drive (where the ib is installed) is full

P37532
>why is the command unban_files deletes file instead of unbanning it?
When a file is banned, it gets deleted from the server. Removing the ban can't restore the file, so the status of the file goes to deleted. If someone has the file, they can upload it again.

P37533
I've got a script that I run as a cron job, but I'd rather not post it since seeing what filters are in place could help spammers evade it.

P37534
You could use mount --bind or maybe even just a symlink (haven't tested it) to point /File elsewhere.

P37533
here is where you learn that lambda is not fully open source.
What are your thoughts on how outrageous and corrupt this is?

P37535

>When a file is banned, it gets deleted from the server.

isn't delete_files command enough?

>mod.delete_files{mod='admin', posts={10}, delete_file='0192b85745c56a7e046a28a053886d9bdde2ad824bbeb3a5ce393885cd2fe032'}

If there are than multiple images in post, the spoiler_flies command spoilers all of them no matter what. I need to spoiler only one file in post that has 4 pics

>mod.spoiler_files{mod='admin', posts={34}, Files=(cc82856e94b3ba39811218148fd2e78173b1c21abaca28fe3a5bb32e3a4fe6cf) , spoiler='rtryrytryt'}

>isn't delete_files command enough?
ban_files deletes the file and bans the hash so the exact file can't be reposted.

>I need to spoiler only one file in post that has 4 pics
You can use post_positions or file_refs instead of the posts argument.

mod.move_to_board{mod, posts, dest}
mod.move_to_thread{mod, posts, dest}
mod.delete_files{mod, hashes, file_refs, posts, post_positions}
mod.ban_files{mod, hashes, file_refs, posts, post_positions}

--bind has some limitations. you cant accress the source folder only the target

i need an ability to expand /file by using multiple disks
i have three hdd external hdd mounted on usb ports, i need a command to combine them into one folder including internal storage so i get 123MB (internal) + 2TB + 2TB + 2TB = 6TB for /Files (like ide adapters that come with multiple sdcard slots)

has anyone ever attemped to do that?

P37617
>will mhddfs help?
From that page it appears mhddfs hasn't been maintained; they recommend mergerfs now. It seems like the kind of thing that would work. I haven't used either, but I have used overlayfs, and if I ran into the situation where a drive was filling up and the new drives I could buy were the same size, I might try mounting the new one as an overlay filesystem over the old.

P38193
>can new_threads_disabled use on posts?
No, but I might add a way to lock threads at some point if it's needed.

>and how do you update the ib software?
You can do a git pull to get the latest source. I haven't written any scripts that update files elsewhere in the system, so depending on the changes you might have to fix things manually to get stuff working again.

>I see you have got rid of chroot
Yep, although it's still running in a chroot setup on this machine. I'm going to migrate away from that, though. I've also changed the default user to www-data since doing otherwise required too much fighting permissions. Although again I've yet to change it on this machine, but I've tested it on others.

Some other plans:
- Add mod.sh script.
- Remove some/all of the luarocks dependencies; try to make it depend on stuff packaged for Debian.
- Back out the Teal stuff since I no longer think it's worth an extra dependency. Maybe use tl check on the .lua files sometimes for linting purposes.

P38226
You often hear people say "think before you speak" and that still has ground for the internet. You should always proofread your posts before actually proceeding to post them, unless it is instant-messaging technology like IRC, real time imageboards, or excuse me (((Discord))).

That being said, I did thought that I was having a stoke trying to read that thing.

>Can you really host your own image board using only its source?
It depends?
I think most "free as in speech" ib software is a CGI script or even a PHP script and can be run by any webserver with capabilities of running those (such as Apache).
You also have to keep in mind that your [web] ib software can be literally anything as long as it speaks HTTP protocol over the Internet. That is, you CAN make it a standalone application, either in compiled or interpreted language. It's going to be more complex to make it and to run it than just using a webserver and a script, I presume.

P38204
Another good idea would be to split site-specific config (like the contents of the /Guide page) into a separate /Config repository.

P37597 I thought CSP was for DDoS protection

P37564

I added number {2} next to file_refs and it deletes the file at the bottom the page than the current post. I had no luck with post_positions and hashes commands either.

P39915
CSP (Content Security Policy) is an HTTP header that tells the browser not to load things like scripts, images, etc. from non-whitelisted sources. For this site, in the case of scripts, there are no non-whitelisted sources, since no Javascript should be running on this site. This prevents exploits in which a user finds a bug and uses it to inject malicious Javascript into the page, to be executed by other users.

P39915
post_positions is supposed to be a list of 2-item lists e.g.
mod.spoiler_files{mod='admin', post_positions={{39213,3}}, spoiler='NSFW'}

I tried hosting futaba chan but I couldn't install PHP. The Makefile kept failing.

how do you fix thumbnail generation problems? when I run the site for like a week or two and when there is a lot of activities, the thumbnail failed to generate.

P39985 interesting ill gonna give that ib a try

P41561
>how do you fix thumbnail generation problems? when I run the site for like a week or two and when there is a lot of activities, the thumbnail failed to generate.
Probably timing out. You can increase the time limit but the trade off is it will make denial of service attacks easier. At some point I'll look into a smarter way of adjusting the timeout.

>also unredact function doesnt work. I am trying to unredact pictures ...redact="unredacted"} it keeps redacting.
You want redacted=false

>This prevents exploits in which a user finds a bug and uses it to inject malicious Javascript into the page, to be executed by other users.
imagine having js enabled

Will the the site load faster (even with 100+ requests), if I run lambda on a 12 thread rig, 32GB RAM?

Or it would be the same as the speed is limited by tor introduction points? My internet is 1Gbps

and yes it handles more requests

not sure about performance though

P48235
P48236
I think most of the delay is going through Tor. It loads much faster locally.

the government doesnt want u to know this but u can really host your own image board using only it's source for free at home.
ive got 10 imageboards at home.

the notable difference is that more RAM the less thumbnail generation issues.

if you are running low on access memory RAM) you'll experience missing thumbnails when uploading multiple image files.

More threads allows you to handle more requests simultaneously (without bottlenecking the machine).

well 2 - 4 threads cpu will do just fine.
200 requests uses only ~ 1.14 threads

lighttpd is lightweight by nature

next time host lambda on a 100ghz 1tb ram and 120 tb hdd machine and let it get spammed 24/7

next time host lambda on a 100ghz 1tb ram with 120 tb hdd machine and let it get spammed 24/7

>100ghz 1tb ram

thats overkill 1 Xenon E3 with 2 - 8GB RAM will do just fine.

Even a 2013 celeron laptop handles 200 requests without any problems.

You can also bind mount any directory onto any other directory
