Pinry is a private, self-hosted, Pinterest inspired by Wookmark 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/development.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 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

• Bookmarklet
• Tagging, groups, multiple and/or user boards
• Statistics/analytics with pretty graphs
