DX-10: the repo invited people to clone, build and self-host while carrying
no LICENSE at all — which legally means all rights reserved, so none of that
was permitted. Adds the verbatim GNU AGPL-3.0 text, the SPDX id in
package.json and a README section. AGPL rather than MIT deliberately: this is
a server application, so the case worth covering is someone running a
modified copy as a network service.
DX-12: .env.example documented PLEX_MEDIA_HOST_PATH -> /plex-media and the
README advertised the Plex library, but only the localdev and home compose
files carried the mount — on both PUBLIC files the module could read Plex's
catalogue and then fail to open a single file, because it streams the media
itself rather than proxying Plex. Both api and worker now mount it read-only
with an empty named volume as the fallback, and self-hosting.md gains the
section that explains the server URL/token, the path map and the mount
together (it had never mentioned Plex).
DX-15: the worker had no init: true on either public file, though localdev
and home both carry tini with the reason written out — without PID 1 reaping,
a watchdog hard-kill of a download's process group orphans its ffmpeg/yt-dlp
grandchildren.
Verified: 'compose config' resolves on both files, the Plex mount comes out
read_only: true on api and worker, and init lands on worker (not just the
bgutil-pot sidecar). Gate green: vitest 671, pytest 896.
The worker and API start in parallel; the API applies migrations on its own startup, so on a fresh
deploy the worker hit a missing download_jobs table and crash-looped until migrations landed. The
worker now polls for the schema before recovering orphans, and (belt-and-suspenders) the compose
files gate it on the API being healthy. Fixes the observed prod restart-loop on the v0.22.0 deploy.
Prep the Download Center epic (Phase 1 + editor + share) for prod/self-host:
- Dockerfile: create /downloads owned by appuser so a named-volume mount is writable (prod Linux).
- docker-compose.{home,selfhost,yml}: add the 'worker' (yt-dlp/ffmpeg job loop) + 'bgutil-pot'
(PO-token) services + a downloads mount (DOWNLOAD_ROOT, WORKER_ENABLED). Media defaults to a
named volume; DOWNLOAD_HOST_PATH points it at a host dir (e.g. a Plex-readable folder).
- README / docs/self-hosting.md / .env.example / install.{sh,ps1}: document the Download Center,
the two extra containers, and DOWNLOAD_HOST_PATH.
- VERSION 0.22.0 + releaseNotes entry.
Replace the leftover 'subfeed' name across logger names + log_config,
frontend localStorage keys, Postgres user/db/volume defaults in the
compose files, .env.example, config.py, backup/restore scripts and the
README. Pure rename; no behavioural change. localStorage keys move from
subfeed.* to siftlode.* (one-time UI-state reset is acceptable).
- docker-compose.selfhost.yml pulls the published image (forge.b1fr0st.eu/peter/siftlode) with a
bundled Postgres — no source build on the operator's host.
- install.sh / install.ps1 generate the four required secrets (.env: POSTGRES_PASSWORD, SECRET_KEY,
a valid Fernet TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY, OAUTH_REDIRECT_URL), start the stack, and print the first-run
setup-wizard URL. Everything else is configured in the web wizard.
- docs/self-hosting.md: the copy-paste playbook (get the files, run the installer, finish in the
wizard, optional Google/SMTP, HTTPS/reverse-proxy, updates + backups).
- Verified end-to-end: a fresh install from the published image boots into setup mode and serves
the wizard.
