I've been looking for a booru or similar so that I could selfhost on
my server. [Hydrus
Network](https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/index.html) seems like
the perfect solution for what I need; it's simple, downloads files
from other boorus with tags included, and I can connect to it via a
decent android app. Only problem is, I have no clue how to even get it
installed on a headless Debian machine. I can't keep using windows for
this application, easy as it would be. I've gone through the
documentation for installing, but I'm genuinely rarted so I can't for
the life of me decipher how the hell I would go about installing it.
If I end up having to pick another booru, I'll probably also need a
way to download images with tags included from other boorus. Thanks
for any help in advance.

For the download and storage into another software part, you could use
grabber, ut has option to basically run a script on download of each
