If you didn’t know, the current moebooru running on oreno.imouto is using ancient version of many things. It also uses a custom lighty module (mod_zipfile) which doesn’t seem to be available anywhere.

I’ve updated it with latest Rails 2.x and made it compatible with nginx. Mostly. You can see it running here.

The plans:

• Upgrade to Ruby 1.9.
• Update all plugins.
• Update anything deprecated.
• Migrate to Bundler.
• Use RMagick instead of custom ruby-gd plugin.
• Use RMagick instead of calling jhead binary.
• And more!

We’ll see if I can actually finish this one. Grab the source here. Yeah, I’m using Mercurial for a Rails project.
