Site Creation - Tech Question

How was this chan site made?
I see you're using a subversion of vichan, which I assume came from the GitHub.
How easy is it to use if I wanted to make a small chan site like this for a private MMO game server, and would I need anything more than a fresh build of vichan?
Is there a good support site or would StackExchange be the way to go?
I prefer the 4/pol/ layout and embedded YouTube links and catalog all the same as that.

Thanks for any info you can provide!

We use
github.com/vichan-devel/vichan

At this point it is pretty much not maintained anymore. But is still pretty simple to run until you want custom stuff. Then knowledge of PHP and JavaScript come in real handy. To get some stuff to work you just need to dick around until it does what you want it to do since documentation is spotty. For something small a cheap VPS is perfectly fine to run it. But even here we are starting to out grow our server.

ChunkHost is good, I used it to keep an MMO private server running. Never had any problems with them, and used them for several months with various projects.

What is this site hosted on now?

Right now a digital ocean VPS 2GB Ram, 2 CPU cores, 40GB SSD. They are not very descriptive on the specs. We will be moving to a dedicated server soonish.
