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.
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.
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
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.
