MyImouto

MyImouto is an actively maintained Moebooru port for PHP and MySQL.

It runs on a custom Rails-inspired PHP framework and aims to stay close to Moebooru behavior while keeping a modern runtime baseline.

What Is Included

• Image upload and management
• Tagging with aliases and implications
• Search and filter endpoints
• User accounts, moderation tools, and staff workflows
• Community features (comments, forum, dmail)

Requirements

Component	Baseline
PHP	8.5+
MySQL	8.0+
MariaDB	10.6+
Composer	2.x

Legacy note: many migrations remain compatible with MySQL 5.5.3+, but this is no longer a tested/supported target.

PHP extensions:

• GD2
• PDO
• cURL
• Imagick (recommended)
• Memcached (recommended)

Web server:

• Apache with mod_rewrite (and mod_headers for gzipped assets), or
• Nginx with URL rewriting configured.

Installation

Step-by-step server setup (Wiki):

• Server Setup Guide (EN)
• Server Setup Guide (DE)

Quick install:

git clone https://github.com/Wachhund/myimouto.git
cd myimouto

composer install

# Create your database first, then configure:
cp config/config.php.example config/config.php
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

# Run installer (creates base data/admin prompt):
php install.php

Then point your web server document root to public/.

Updating

Troubleshooting

Database connection failed:

• Check config/database.yml.
• Confirm MySQL/MariaDB is running and reachable.

Images not uploading:

• Verify GD2 or Imagick is installed.
• Check PHP upload limits (upload_max_filesize, post_max_size).
• Ensure upload directories are writable.

Permission errors under public/:

• Verify ownership and permissions for your web server user.

Mail Namespace Migration Notes

MyImouto treats MyImouto\\Mail\\* and MyImouto\\Mime\\* as canonical runtime namespaces.

Zend\\Mail\\* and Zend\\Mime\\* are compatibility shims only.

Shim removal criteria:

• no first-party code depends on Zend\\* internals beyond compatibility entrypoints
• mail regression tests (password reset + dmail notification paths) pass on canonical classes
• no unresolved external/runtime references to Zend\\* mail classes are observed during rollout

Rollback guidance:

• keep lib/Zend/* wrappers in place for mixed-version deploy windows
• if regressions occur, roll back to the previous release and keep wrappers enabled while restoring canonical behavior
