Blombooru v1.38.0

Blombooru is a private, self-hosted media tagging tool designed as an alternative to image boorus for managing personal media collections.

Key Features

Danbooru-Style Tagging: Includes a tagging system with categories (artist, character, copyright, meta, general), parent-child media relationships, albums, and full support for Danbooru-compatible search syntax.
AI Integration: Support for viewing AI metadata from tools such as SwarmUI, ComfyUI, and A1111. Includes integration with the WDv3 Auto Tagger for automated tag suggestions.
External Booru Import: Allows importing media directly from supported boorus (e.g., Danbooru, Gelbooru) via URL. Metadata such as tags, rating, and sources are automatically mapped and imported.
API Compatibility: Implements a Danbooru v2 compatible API. This allows you to connect third-party Booru clients (such as Grabber, Tachiyomi, or BooruNav) to your Blombooru instance.
Security & Access Control: Management actions (uploading, editing, deleting) require an admin login. A Secure Mode can also be enabled to require login to interact with Blombooru (including to view media), while still allowing access to shared media.
Customizable Interface: Built with Tailwind CSS for responsiveness. Includes built-in themes (Catppuccin variants, Gruvbox, Nord, Everforest, OLED) and supports adding custom CSS themes.
System Architecture: Built on Python (FastAPI) and PostgreSQL 17. Optional Redis caching is available for faster autocomplete and queries. Supports multi-instance setups and shared tag databases.

Docker is the recommended installation method. To deploy Blombooru using Docker:

Download docker-compose.yml and example.env from the release assets below.
(Optional) If you intend to use a shared tag database across multiple instances, also download docker-compose.shared-tags.yml.
Follow the Installation instructions in the README to complete the setup.
