Thanks. I should clarify that support for importing from some particular software does not imply equivalent feature parity. I've updated the issue just now to note that.

I don't plan on adding flag icons but author identifiers are supported. To show them, enable the "identifiers" option in config.yml and then enable the Identifiers option for each board in the management panel.

So I tried to set up vichan using Docker. The included default config doesn't seem to work.

If someone shares a dump of a vichan database and all related static files, that should be enough to add support for importing posts. The database should be explicitly created for demonstrating vichan and supporting importing posts, it shouldn't have any personal info in it, and attachments and all other static files should be included in the dump. That way I have a solid example to test importing from. Please use a public file host to share the database and file dump. Again, I am only asking for a dump which has been explicitly created for demonstrating vichan, and does not contain any personal info.

Here you go:

I don't know how extensive you need it to be, I created two boards, made a couple of posts with and without images, made a post with subject/email/name filled out, made a ban, made 1 sticky, 1 locked thread, and created a 2nd moderator user.

ZIP file contains the database dump and the two board folders where static files are saved. Not sure if this is the latest master branch, but footer says vichan Copyright © 2012-2025 vichan-devel so it's probably recent enough and I don't think any changes to db schema were really ever made anyway.

Let me know if you would need anything else.

Thanks, this is a great start. I am in the process of updating the import script to support vichan, as well as generalizing the import process to make supporting additional software easier.

I will be able to implement basic import functionality using just this dump, but if you find the time I would appreciate another dump which makes use of the following missing features:

- Reflinks to both an OP post and a reply post >>###
- A staff post with a capcode enabled
- An embed post (embeds a YouTube URL, or whatever feature uses the "embed" column)
- A single post with multiple files attached to it (if vichan supports this, it seems so based on the schema)
- > Post message quote

I think this covers everything, I also made a bumplocked and cyclical thread:

If there's still anything missing, please let me know.
Also, probably doesn't matter, but backlinks/reflinks do not show up on the post that's being referenced by default in vichan (it relies on loading a js script in the config), but I'm assuming this shouldn't change anything in the database itself. The database dump was made without this script being loaded.

Thanks. I've just tested importing posts from the recent dump and things look good. Support for importing vichan posts is now ready for testing.

Until Sriracha v1.9.5 is released, you can try this feature by downloading the latest source code of the main branch and building Sriracha yourself. I've updated the manual to include instructions for importing vichan posts.

Sriracha v1.9.5 is now available, featuring support for importing posts from vichan.
