FOR DUMBASSES: Install linux (DUH), this instruction is Debian/Ubuntu centric but you can do it on probably any linux if you just FOR DUMBASSES: write the thing that is before the ":" + how to (mydistro) into google or something FOR DUMBASSES: Open Terminal, if you don't know how: look it up dumbass Install git: sudo apt-get install git Fetch the guca into a folder of your choosing: git clone https://github.com/zkm2/shamichan (this is a fork of some guy with some fixes I think, basically what v6 is on the original bakape/shamichan) Install go: sudo apt-get install golang Install docker: that's distro specific but you can just type "install docker (yourdistro)" and there's a page for that For example the page for debian is: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/ for ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/ Do not forget to turn on the daemon if it doesn't work: sudo systemctl start docker OPTIONAL: Install npm: OPTIONAL: sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo bash - OPTIONAL: sudo apt install nodejs OPTIONAL: Run: npm audit fix OPTIONAL: (this removes some vulnerabilities, but it's still probably not very safe software, would be nice to have the meowin version running) Move into the shami folder: cd ./shamichan Run: go mod tidy Run: sudo docker compose build (or sudo docker-compose build, whichever works) (get comfortable, it'll take a while now) Run: sudo docker compose up -d Open the browser, type in: 127.0.0.1:8000 The rest is as is in the guide on the github, basically you'd need to change the password, change the attachment size max (it's like 5 mb by default) and whatever else you want to do. When done: sudo docker compose down
