Frequently Asked Questions

My dump doesn't migrate.

This assumes a running setup.

1. Enter into database container:

   docker exec                 \
       --interactive           \
       --username=nano         \
       --tty kemono-db psql    \
       kemonodb
   

   
   

2. Check the contents of the  posts  table.

   SELECT * FROM posts;
   

   Most likely it has  0  rows.

   
   

3. Move contents of  booru_posts  ➞  posts

   INSERT INTO posts SELECT * FROM booru_posts ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING;
   

   
   

4. Restart the archiver.

   docker restart kemono-archiver
   

   If you see a bunch of log entries from  kemono-db ,
   then this indicates that the archiver is doing it's job.

   
   

5. In case the frontend still doesn't show
   the artists / posts, clear the redis cache.

   docker exec         \
       kemono-redis    \
       redis-cli       \
       FLUSHALL
   

How do I git modules?

This assumes you haven't cloned the repository recursively.

1. Initiate the submodules

   git submodule init
   git submodule update    \
       --recursive         \
       --init
   

   
   

2. Switch to the archiver folder and
   add your fork to the remotes list.

   cd archiver
   git remote add <remote_name> <your_fork_link>
   

   
   

3. Now you can interact with Kitsune repo the same
   way you do as if it was outside of project folder.

How do I import from db dump?

1. Retrieve a database dump.

   
   

2. Run the following in the folder of said dump.

   cat db-filename.dump                \
       | gunzip                        \
       | docker exec                   \
       --interactive kemono-db psql    \
       --username=nano kemonodb
   

   
   

3. Restart the archiver to trigger migrations.

   docker restart kemono-archiver
   

   
   

   If that didn't start the migrations, refer
   to  My Dump Doesn't Migrate  section.

How do I put files into nginx container?

1. Retrieve the files in required folder structure.

   
   

2. Copy them into nginx image.

   docker \
       cp ./ kemono-nginx:/storage
   

   
   

3. Add required permissions to that folder.

   docker                  \
       exec kemono-nginx   \
       chown --recursive   \
       nginx /storage
