Monaba

Wakaba-like imageboard written in Haskell and powered by Yesod. Demo board.

Dependencies

  • GHC >= 7.6
  • Postgresql >= 9.1
  • cabal-install >= 1.18
  • PHP5 to use GeSHi for code highlighting
  • Imagemagick library
  • ffmpeg and ffprobe for webm video

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ahushh/Monaba
cd Monaba

Setup PostgreSQL user and password in config/postgresql.yml

Application root, port, site name and other settings you can change in config/settings.yml

Download GeoIPCity:

wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
gzip -d GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
cp GeoLiteCity.dat /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat

Or it can be installed from repositories. You can change the path in config/settings.yml

Download GeSHi:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/geshi/files/geshi/GeSHi%201.0.8.11/GeSHi-1.0.8.11.tar.gz
tar -zxvf GeSHi-1.0.8.11.tar.gz
mv geshi /your/path/to/geshi

Set your path to GeSHi in highlight.php

Sample list of required packages (apt based distros):

apt-get install ghc php5 imagemagick libmagickwand-dev libmagickcore-dev postgresql
apt-get install cabal-install zlibc libgeoip-dev libcrypto++-dev libssl-dev postgresql-server-dev-9.1

Building executable file:

cabal update
cabal sandbox init
cabal install yesod-bin && cabal install --only-dependencies # this takes a while, be patient
cabal clean && cabal configure && cabal build # and this too

You may also want to change meta tags such as description and keywords in templates/default-layout-wrapper.hamlet. Do it before building.

If you get an error during installation of dependencies

Data/Digest/OpenSSL/MD5.hs:49:12: Not in scope: ‘unsafePerformIO’
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
nano-md5-0.1.2 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

this should help

cabal fetch nano-md5
tar -zxvf ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/nano-md5/0.1.2/nano-md5-0.1.2.tar.gz
patch nano-md5-0.1.2/Data/Digest/OpenSSL/MD5.hs < extra/MD5.hs.patch
cabal sandbox add-source nano-md5-0.1.2
cabal install --only-dependencies

Running

Create a database:

psql -U postgres -c 'create database monabas_production';

Run the application to initialize database schema:

./dist/build/Monaba/Monaba production

Open another terminal and fill database with default values:

 psql -U postgres monabas_production < init-db.sql

You are done. Open http://localhost:3000 and navigate to manage page and use "admin" both for username and for password to log in.

Deployment

See extra/nginx.conf example if you want to use Nginx as reverse proxy. That's generally a good idea.

For systemd users: extra/monaba.service
