Once your Youtube video collection grows, it becomes hard to search and find a specific video. That's where Tube Archivist comes in: By indexing your video collection with metadata from Youtube, you can organize, search and enjoy your archived Youtube videos without hassle offline through a convenient web interface.
## Installation
Take a look at the example `docker-compose.yml` file provided. Tube Archivist depends on three main components split up into seperate docker containers:

- The environment variables `HOST_UID` and `HOST_GID` allowes Tube Archivist to `chown` the video files to the main host system user instead of the container user.

- Needs a volume at **/usr/share/elasticsearch/data** to store data
Follow the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html) for additional installation details.
### Redis JSON
Functions as a cache and temporary link between the application and the filesystem. Used to store and display messages and configuration variables.

- On any other platform look up in the documentation on how to pass kernel parameters.
### Permissions for elasticsearch
If you see a message similar to `AccessDeniedException[/usr/share/elasticsearch/data/nodes]` when initially starting elasticsearch, that means the container is not allowed to write files to the volume.
That's most likely the case when you run `docker-compose` as an unprivileged user. To fix that issue, shutdown the container and on your host machine run:
```
chown 1000:0 /path/to/mount/point
```
This will match the permissions with the **UID** and **GID** of elasticsearch within the container and should fix the issue.
## Roadmap
This should be considered as a **minimal viable product**, there is an exstensive list of future functions and improvements planned.
