szurubooru

A fork of szurubooru aimed at storing photos and videos taken with physical cameras.

The idea for this started in this issue. I wanted a self-hosted replacement for Google Photos.

Added Features

  • Date taken
    • Automatically extracts the date and time when the photo was taken from its EXIF metadata.
    • Shown on the post sidebar
  • Camera
    • Automatically extracts the make and model of the camera used to take the photo
    • Also shown on the post sidebar
    • Also works with some videos
  • EXIF orientation support
    • Acknowledges EXIF orientation and generates thumbnails and post dimensions correctly
    • Images with orientations other than 1 now render properly

Notices

  • Date taken and Camera do not work with image formats that lack EXIF support (such as PNG) or have been stripped of EXIF metadata.
  • The current migration does not regenerate post thumbnails or fixes post dimensions. This will be fixed in the next commit.
  • This fork might be less stable than upstream, since the changes I've made have not been tested on as large of a scale.

Installation

See installation instructions.

More installation resources as well as related projects can be found on upstream's GitHub project Wiki.

Status and Plans

This fork has reached the level of functionality I need for my personal use. As such, there are missing features that might be useful to some:

  • Mass deletion support (will also implement this upstream when I get to it)
  • Tests (honestly, I don't even want to touch these)
  • Proper post merging
  • Updated documentation

I am also planning to rewrite this fork's server in another language sometime in the future.
