TubeArchivist uses TA_CACHE_DIR and TA_MEDIA_DIR directly as URL paths.
In Docker these are /cache and /youtube, matching nginx locations.
Our paths (/opt/tubearchivist/cache, /opt/tubearchivist/media) broke
video playback URLs and file downloads.
Create symlinks /cache and /youtube pointing to data dirs, set env vars
to match Docker defaults. Aligns nginx alias paths with official config.
The auth_request subrequest to /api/ping/ through the generic /api
location block doesn't properly forward cookies to the Django backend,
causing 403 for all /cache/ and /media/ requests.
Use a dedicated internal /_auth location that explicitly proxies to
/api/ping/ with Cookie header forwarding.
Beat service starts before manage.py migrate creates the
django_celery_beat tables, causing 'no such table' error.
Add ExecStartPre that waits for migration to complete by
polling the SQLite DB for the crontab table.
Docker copies backend to /app, so APP_DIR=/app maps static/img/ correctly.
Our bare-metal install has backend at /opt/tubearchivist/backend/,
so TA_APP_DIR must point there for fallback thumbnails to resolve.
Fixes missing thumbnails, default-channel-banner.jpg not found error.
Update script migrates existing installs to the corrected path.
Debian auto-starts nginx on install with default config (port 80).
'enable --now' is a no-op if already running. Use explicit restart
to pick up our port 8000 config.
ES snapshot repo defaults to Docker path /usr/share/elasticsearch/data/snapshot
but our elasticsearch.yml uses path.repo: /var/lib/elasticsearch/snapshot.
Add ES_SNAPSHOT_DIR=/var/lib/elasticsearch/snapshot to match.
run.sh needs env vars (TA_CACHE_DIR etc) before Django starts.
- Add set -a/source .env in run.sh so vars are available
- Symlink .env to backend/ so Django's load_dotenv('.env') finds it
- Fixes 'unable to open database file' (CACHE_DIR defaulting to /cache)
Move Django management commands (migrate, collectstatic, ta_envcheck,
ta_connection, ta_startup) into run.sh startup wrapper that:
- Waits up to 60s for ElasticSearch to be healthy
- Runs all init commands before starting uvicorn
- Matches Docker's run.sh approach
This fixes ta_startup failing during install because ES wasn't ready.
The commands now run at every service start with ES readiness check.
TubeArchivist requires nginx to serve the frontend SPA and proxy API
requests to Django. Without nginx, only API routes work.
Changes:
- Add nginx with config matching Docker's nginx.conf (port 8000)
- Add TA_APP_DIR, TA_CACHE_DIR, TA_MEDIA_DIR env vars for bare-metal paths
- Run Django migrate, collectstatic, ta_envcheck, ta_connection, ta_startup
- Add celery worker + beat scheduler as separate systemd services
- Fix interface port from 8080 to 8000 (nginx)
- Add migrations step to update script
- tubearchivist: backend on 8100 behind nginx on 8000 (was both 8000)
- jitsi: URI=download.jitsi.org suite=stable/ component=empty for flat repo
- erpnext: use CI=1 and FRAPPE_ALLOW_SUPERUSER=1 (not BENCH_ALLOW_SUPERUSER)
Small fixes and improvements to installer scripts:
- storybook-install.sh: make npx non-interactive (add -y) and cd into the detected project path before writing .projectpath to ensure generated files land in the project directory.
- storyteller-install.sh: replace manual Readium curl/chmod flow with fetch_and_deploy_gh_release helper for consistent deployment; keep symlink to /usr/local/bin/readium.
- tubearchivist-install.sh: set ES_JAVA_OPTS during elasticsearch install to limit heap (-Xms1g -Xmx1g) and explicitly disable xpack transport/http SSL in the config to avoid local SSL requirements.
These changes improve automation reliability and resource/config defaults during automated installs.
Add container templates, install scripts and metadata for six applications: BirdNET-Go, ERPNext, Jitsi Meet, Storybook, Storyteller and Tube Archivist. New files include ct/* scripts (container templates and update handlers), install/* scripts (installation and systemd service setup, dependency installation and build steps) and json/* metadata entries (app catalog data, default resources, ports and notes). Each install script configures required dependencies, creates services, and prepares runtime configuration (e.g. DB, ElasticSearch, Node/Python environments, ffmpeg/Readium). This commit enables automated LXC provisioning and update flows for these apps.
