luckybooru

luckybooru is a danbooru-style booru written in Crystal with Lucky.

Status

luckybooru is in the early design stage.

Goals and design principles

• Feature parity with danbooru
• Support for various types of media (images, audio, videos, plaintext, Markdown)
• Full support for running in a cluster with live scaling
• All major features should work with no-JS/noscript and text browsers
• Fast on the server-side and on the client-side (no Python or Java)
• High configurability (user roles, analytics, danbooru-like premium account tiers)
• RESTful API with JSON output

Dependencies

• Crystal
• Lucky
• PostgreSQL
• Sentry (with raven.cr)
• Sonic (?)

Deployment options

We aim to support a variety of deployment options, including the following:

• Application: Kubernetes (hosted, private cluster), manual Docker deployment, traditional server
• Database: PostgreSQL, RDS for PostgreSQL, CockroachDB
