so i've been searching for a long time for an image tagging software, there are some tools out there, some are electron based so no thanks, then there's Hydrus which is actually very similar to what this does, but the GUI is horrible and the installation is way more complicated. I created a docker compose file and I was running Blombooru in a few minutes. So if anyone was looking for something like this to organize their system, please give it a try because it is really good!

looks pretty neat.. do you know how well it performs with large collections? i've heard before that hydrus absolutely crawls when the data increases past a certain amount.

ive imported around 2000 images, and it didn't take much, also take into account i only have 8gb of ram, so it did pretty well and pretty fast. first it crashed a few times but because i had a 300mb gif and it tried to read it and crashed. i have around 5000 images more but ill import them in batches because those are relatively organized in folders so it'll be easier to add tags as i go than dump everything and figure out what do to with them later. so far i dont notice any lag with my collection, during import it may take a bit more if your collection is larger tho but if you also have more ram... it also has Redis as an option for caching, i havent used it tho

My hydrus collection is 1.9TB with nearly 1m files. Can't say I've ever had any kind of slowdown. A search with 24.8k results takes about 5 seconds, and that's with the media stored on a HDD (though the database is on a SATA3 SSD). And run by an 8 year old AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. Plenty fast enough for me at least.
