Story downloader I'm working on for fun.

Should work with any recent version XenForo forums (i.e. SpaceBattles, Sufficient Velocity).

Open up http://localhost:3000

Submit thread URL from a compatible message board on the main page.

Currently only works with base URL. I.e. https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/maplebird-test.1234 will work, but https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/maplebird-test.1234/page-30#post-75438880 will NOT work.

If you want to refresh a previously downloaded story, submit its thread URL again on the main page.

Standard rails app.

Requires:

• Ruby 2.6.6
• Postgresql

Database default creds:

• User: fanficker
• Password: fanficker
• Database: fanficker

For development mode, requires permissions to create and modify a new database.

bundle install
bundle exec rails db:setup

rails server -b 0.0.0.0

App will be available at http://localhost:3000

Set RAILS_ENV=production first.

Set the following environment variables if they're different from defaults.

DATABASE_USER=
DATABASE_PASSWORD=
DATABASE_NAME=
DATABASE_HOST=
DATABASE_PORT=

Fanficker also uses AWS S3 as the backend for ActiveStorage. Set the following environment variables as well:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_S3_BUCKET=
AWS_REGION=

Create the database, run migrations, then start the server:

# Create the database (if doesn't exist)
bundle exec rails db:create

# Run migrations and start
bundle exec rails db:migrate
bundle exec rails server -b 0.0.0.0
