:ballotboxwith_check: Requirements

In order to run szuru-toolkit, Python 3.11 is required.

:hammerandwrench: Installation

This package is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip: pip install szurubooru-toolkit

Alternatively, you can clone the package from GitHub and set everything up with uv. In the root directory of this repository, execute uv sync.

Docker Instructions

If you would like to run the toolkit in a Docker container instead, follow the instructions below.
  • Copy docker-compose.yml to the location where you want to run the toolkit.
  • Copy config_sample.toml to the same location, renaming to config.toml and
replacing with your configuration.
  • Copy crontab_sample to the same location, renaming to crontab and adding
the commands you would like to run regularly. An example command is provided in crontab_sample.
  • Make sure to set the src_path option in config.toml to use
/szurubooru-toolkit/upload_src. If you're using a different directory than upload_src, you may need to update the docker-compose.yml binding to be something like ./uploads:/szurubooru-toolkit/uploads, and set /szurubooru-toolkit/uploads as the src_path option instead.
  • Create the folder tmp in the same location.
  • If you would like to use deepbooru or tag files, create misc/deepbooru
and/or misc/tags in the same location and follow the instructions linked below
  • Run touch szurubooru_toolkit.log in the same location to create a file for
the log. You may need to set the log location to /szurubooru-toolkit/szurubooru_toolkit.log in config.toml
  • Use docker-compose up or docker-compose up -d to start the container, or
start the container in the background, respectively. You can use docker-compose logs or docker-compose logs -f to inspect the container output, which will include szuru toolkit's output if you append your cron jobs with >/proc/1/fd/1 2>&1 like in the example job.
  • If you just want to run a one-time command, leave the crontab file blank
and start the container with docker-compose up -d, taking note of the container_name option in docker-compose.yml. Then, you can run commands inside of the running container like this: docker exec -it container_name uv run szuru-toolkit auto-tagger, replacing container_name with the container name.
  • If you would like the container to run a one-time command and then quit with
docker-compose.yml, add a command configuration like this.

:memo: User configuration

While the script szuru-toolkit can run with just command line options, you can also set your options in a config file.

The script looks for a config.toml file in following locations:

Linux

  • Your current working directory from which szuru-toolkit is executed
  • ~/.config/szurubooru-toolkit/config.toml
  • /etc/szurubooru-toolkit/config.toml

Windows

  • Your current working directory from which szuru-toolkit is executed
  • $USERPROFILE/szurubooru-toolkit/config.toml
  • $APPDATA/szurubooru-toolkit/config.toml
Options passed to the szuru-toolkit script take priority over the config file.

You can find a sample config file in the GitHub repository of this package.

Note that path names have to be specified with forward slashes (/) if you're using Windows.

Creating a SauceNAO account and an API key is recommended. Please consider supporting the SauceNAO team as well by upgrading your plan. With a free plan, you can request up to 200 posts in 24h.

For Deepbooru support, download the current release here (v3-20211112-sgd-e28) and extract the contents of the zip file. Specify the path of the folder with the extracted files in deepboorumodel. Please note that you have to set deepbooru_enabled if you want to use it.

:pagewithcurl: Commands

Following commands are currently available:
  • auto-tagger: Tag posts automatically
  • create-relations: Create relations between character and parody tag categories
  • create-tags: Create tags based on a tag file or query
  • delete-posts: Delete posts
  • import-from-booru: Download and tag posts from various Boorus
  • import-from-url: Batch importing of URLs based on gallery-dl
  • reset-posts: Remove tags and sources
  • tag-posts: Tag posts manually
  • upload-media: Upload media files
Check szuru-toolkit -h or szuru-toolkit COMMAND -h for a detailed description of supported options.

If you cloned the repo from GitHub, prefix the above scripts with uv run, e.g. uv run szuru-toolkit auto-tagger "date:today". Note that your current working directory has to be the the root of the GitHub project.

If your query starts with a dash (-), for example to negate a tag, you have to separate the query from the command with two dashes (This doesn't work with uv run):

szuru-toolkit auto-tagger --no-deepbooru -- "-foo bar"

While most commands are self explanatory, the following require a bit of extra attention:

:label: create-relations

Examples
  • szuru-toolkit create-relations hitori_bocchi
* Will create the implication bocchitherock for tag hitoribocchi if other posts are found with query hitoribocchi containing bocchitherock as the parody (tag has to be of category series or parody) * Will also add hitoribocchi as a suggestion to the parody tag bocchitherock_ * These relations will only get generated if at least X posts are found containing the tags bocchitherock and hitoribocchi_. Control X with threshold under [create-relations] in config.toml.

:label: create-tags

If no tag_file is specified, the script will download the most recent 100 tags from Danbooru which have been used at least ten times.

You can use tools like Grabber to download a tag list from common boorus.

The tag_file has to be in following format:

<taga>,<categoryname>
<tagb>,<categoryname>
<tag..n>,<categoryname>

The category has to be created beforehand manually (e.g. default, artist, parody/series, character and meta).

Examples

  • szuru-toolkit create-tags
szuru-toolkit create-tags --query genshin --overwrite
  • szuru-toolkit create-tags --tag-file tags.txt

:link: import-from-url

This scripts imports posts with their tags from the URL passed to this script. In the background, it simply calls the gallery-dl script and parses its output. Alternatively, an input file with multiple URLs can be specified.

It's recommended to use the --cookie flag for authentication, check https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl#cookies for details.

Usage Examples

  • szuru-toolkit import-from-url "https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=foo"
  • szuru-toolkit import-from-url "https://chan.sankakucomplex.com/?tags=foo"
  • szuru-toolkit import-from-url "https://beta.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/<id>"
  • szuru-toolkit import-from-url --cookies "~/cookies.txt" --range ":100" ""https://twitter.com/<USERNAME>/likes"
  • szuru-toolkit import-from-url --input-file urls.txt "https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=foo" "https://beta.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/<id>"
