Alternatively if you want a version that will never have significant changes,
check out one of the versioned branches.
# Requirements
- These are generally based on "whatever is in Debian Stable", because that's
conservative without being TOO painfully out of date, and is a nice target
for the unit test Docker build.
- A database: PostgreSQL 11+ / MariaDB 10.3+ / SQLite 3.27+
- [Stable PHP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#Release_history) (7.3+ as of writing)
- GD or ImageMagick
# Documentation
# Installation
1. Download the latest release under [Releases](https://github.com/shish/shimmie2/releases).
2. Unzip shimmie into a folder on the web host
3. Create a blank database
4. Visit the folder with a web browser
5. Enter the location of the database
6. Click "install". Hopefully you'll end up at the welcome screen; if
not, you should be given instructions on how to fix any errors~
# Installation (Development)
1. Download shimmie via the "Download Zip" button on the [master](https://github.com/shish/shimmie2/tree/master) branch.
2. Unzip shimmie into a folder on the web host
3. Install [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). (If you don't already have it)
4. Run `composer install` in the shimmie folder.
5. Follow instructions noted in "Installation" starting from step 3.
# Docker
If you just want to run shimmie inside docker, there's a pre-built image
in dockerhub - `shish2k/shimmie2` - which can be used like:
```
docker run -p 8000 -v /my/hard/drive:/app/data shish2k/shimmie2
```
If you want to build your own image from source:
```
docker build -t shimmie .
```
There are various options settable with environment variables:
- `UID` / `GID` - which user ID to run as (default 1000/1000)
- `INSTALL_DSN` - specify a data source to install into, to skip the installer screen, eg
`-e INSTALL_DSN="pgsql:user=shimmie;password=6y5erdfg;host=127.0.0.1;dbname=shimmie"`
### Upgrade from earlier versions
I very much recommend going via each major release in turn (eg, 2.0.6
-> 2.1.3 -> 2.2.4 -> 2.3.0 rather than 2.0.6 -> 2.3.0).
While the basic database and file formats haven't changed *completely*, it's
different enough to be a pain.
## Custom Configuration
Various aspects of Shimmie can be configured to suit your site specific needs
via the file `data/config/shimmie.conf.php` (created after installation).
Take a look at `core/sys_config.php` for the available options that can
be used.
#### Custom User Classes
User classes can be added to or altered by placing them in
`data/config/user-classes.conf.php`.
For example, one can override the default anonymous "allow nothing"
permissions like so:
```php
new UserClass("anonymous", "base", [
Permissions::CREATE_COMMENT => True,
Permissions::EDIT_IMAGE_TAG => True,
Permissions::EDIT_IMAGE_SOURCE => True,
Permissions::CREATE_IMAGE_REPORT => True,
]);
```
For a moderator class, being a regular user who can delete images and comments:
```php
new UserClass("moderator", "user", [
Permissions::DELETE_IMAGE => True,
Permissions::DELETE_COMMENT => True,
]);
```
For a list of permissions, see `core/permissions.php`
# Development Info
ui-\* cookies are for the client-side scripts only; in some configurations
(eg with varnish cache) they will be stripped before they reach the server
shm-\* CSS classes are for javascript to hook into; if you're customising
themes, be careful with these, and avoid styling them, eg:
- shm-thumb = outermost element of a thumbnail
* data-tags
* data-post-id
- shm-toggler = click this to toggle elements that match the selector
* data-toggle-sel
- shm-unlocker = click this to unlock elements that match the selector
* data-unlock-sel
- shm-clink = a link to a comment, flash the target element when clicked
* data-clink-sel
Please tell me if those docs are lacking in any way, so that they can be
improved for the next person who uses them
