Infinity Next is an imageboard using the Laravel Framework. It was conceived as a way to replace what 8chan runs on. Its current codebase has aged poorly and I felt the world was ready for a redo.
Infinity Next is distributed under the AGPL 3.0.
In short:
- You may use Infinity Next for any reason you please.
- You may modify Infinity Next as you see fit.
- You may profit with Infinity Next.
However, you also agree that:
- Infinity Next & Contributors are not liable for this software and any damage it may do.
- Infinity Next & Contributors are not liable if this software is used to break the law.
- You will not sell copies or modifications of this source code (no sublicensing).
- You must distribute the source code for any publicly hosted modifications of Infinity Next under the AGPL 3.0 license in a conventional format.
The AGPL3 license is designed to protect the end user by keeping modified copies of the source open and free.
While not binding, I do ask that users link back to this git repository or to https://infinitydev.org on their website. Sharing is caring. โฅ
Larachan runs on Laravel 5 and has the same requirements.
PHP 5.4
or greater.php5-mycrypt
for bcrypt functions.php5-curl
for Stripe.php5-gd
for captcha codes and other image manipulation.
When installing from source,
composer
Infinity Next is currently below its first release version. When it is finished, a compiled archive will be available with an installation process. Right now, however, you must build it yourself and have access to a command line interface.
- Pull the code and navigate to the directory where the
.env
file is. - Edit the
.env
to your liking. This is where you enter database details. - Issue the command
composer update
and wait as 3rd party libraries are added. - Issue the command
php artisan migrate
or./artisan migrate
- Issue the command
php artisan db:seed
or./artisan db:seed
- Take note of the Admin account password that will be created for you.
- Restart your PHP daemon, using a command such as
service apache2 restart
orservice php5-fpm restart
. - You should now have a
/test/
board. The admin account will be namedAdmin
.
Everyone is welcome to contribute, but please follow repository etiquette.
- Fork the repository.
- Raise a separate issue for everything you intend to fix.
- Plan your fix and allow for discussion.
- Tie your commits to issues.
- Keep pull requests concise, list issues addressed, and make it easy to pull them.
It would benefit you to make sure your solution has the OK before writing any code.
In the name of preventing conflict and keeping the codebase clean, I am implementing the exact same standards of Laravel contributors.
Laravel follows the PSR-0 and PSR-1 coding standards. In addition to these standards, the following coding standards should be followed:
- The class namespace declaration must be on the same line as
<?php
.- A class's opening
{
must be on the same line as the class name.- Functions and control structures must use Allman style braces. Indent with tabs, align with spaces.
"Allman style braces" refer to having a curly-brace on a new line at the same level of indentation as the conditional itself.
if (condition)
{
// Code here.
}
