[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/overshard/pinry.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/overshard/pinry)
Pinry is a private, self-hosted, [Pinterest][0] inspired by [Wookmark][1] and
built on top of Django. Pinry is currently in Alpha/Development, some upgrades
may be ugly/not work till I release v1.0.0.

## Why?
Mostly because I don't like sharing, I use pinup boards for personal inspiration
boards. Also if I use a public platform like Pinterest or Wookmark then my pins
run the risk of getting a DMCA take down notice. I might not even be able to
pin something at all with websites now blocking tools like this. I rather
bypass all these risks and just host it myself.
## Getting Started
Pinry has two different customizable configurations:
### Development
Have virtualenv and pip installed. You may also need to have the build
dependencies for PIL installed.
Note: On Ubuntu you can get the build deps by running
`sudo apt-get build-dep python-imaging`.
$ git clone git://github.com/overshard/pinry.git
$ cd pinry
$ virtualenv .
$ bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
$ bin/python manage.py syncdb
$ bin/python manage.py migrate
$ bin/python manage.py runserver
### Production
If you want a production server [Google around][2] for more information on
running Django in a production environment and edit the
`pinry/settings/production.py` file. I don't cover this because there are
hundreds of different ways to deploy a Django project and everyone has their own
preference.
### Quick Settings
There are a few settings provided specific to Pinry that allow you to get some
of the most requested functionality easily.
+ **SITE_NAME**: For quickly changing the name Pinry to something you prefer.
+ **ALLOW_NEW_REGISTRATIONS**: Set to False to prevent people from registering.
+ **PUBLIC**: Set to False to require people to register before viewing pins.
(Note: Setting PUBLIC to False does still allow registrations. Make sure
both PUBLIC and the previous setting are set to False to prevent
all public access.)
## Roadmap
+ Non-image URL pinning
+ Bookmarklet
+ Tagging, groups, multiple and/or user boards
+ Statistics/analytics with pretty graphs
