Map viewer has simple search.
Map search databases can be downloaded from CDN, or built locally. Map searches can be built offline, but will not have enriched things like state names downloaded from Wikidata.
Create a new Docs module that consolidates PDF and eBook handling into a
unified system with subjects and authors support. This replaces the
separate PDF/eBook modelers with a single Doc model backed by an
alembic migration (rename ebook to doc).
Key changes:
- New modules/docs package with models, API, extractors, and lib
- Subject and author metadata extraction with case-insensitive
normalization for cleaner PDF metadata
- Frontend Docs pages with AuthorsPage, SubjectsPage using
CollectionTable, and doc card deletion
- Global search integration for subjects and authors
- Generic collection item count support
- Frontend file card metadata adjusted to match collection sort
- Bump yt-dlp version
- Replace nginx with Caddy as the web server for both Docker and native
(RPi/Debian) deployments. Caddy handles HTTPS termination, reverse
proxying to all services (API, React app, Controller, Kiwix, Help, Map),
and serves the media/download file browsers.
- Generate a Root CA and signed leaf certificates for HTTPS. The Root CA
uses Name Constraints to restrict signing to local addresses only
(.local, localhost, and RFC 1918 private IP ranges), mitigating MITM
risk if the CA key is compromised.
- Add an HTTP landing page that guides users through one-time CA
certificate installation on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and
Firefox, with auto-redirect when the cert is already trusted.
- Add trailing-slash redirects for /controller, /docs, /media, and
/download so bare paths don't fall through to the React catch-all.
- Add a Root CA download link on the Settings page under Configs.
- Update help.sh diagnostics for IPv6 listener detection and HTTP/2
status codes.
- Remove all nginx config files and the https_proxy Docker container.
- Bump wrolpi-help submodule with certificate documentation.
* Added encrypted cookies feature for use with yt-dlp. Decrypted cookies never touch the disk.
* Adding sleep between all downloads to prevent rapid requests.
* Channels are fully refreshed before downloading.
* Removing superseded video browser profile.
Python 3.11 is now required, old versions were causing unpredictability in tests. (Sanic does not yet
support 3.12)
Sanic has been upgraded to 23.6.0, which is the latest version that avoids this bug:
https://github.com/sanic-org/sanic/issues/2921
New strategy for multiprocessing is to create all multiprocessing tools in one process, then fork
to other processes. The previous strategy was to declare multiprocessing tools at the top of every
file, or wherever they were needed at import/creation. Now all multiprocessing tools are attached to the
app.shared_ctx. This means `api_app` is imported in many, many places.
This forced a change in how the DownloadManager works. Previously, it would continually run
download workers which would pull downloads from a multiprocessing.Queue. Now, a single worker checks
for new downloads and sends a Sanic signal.
Flags have been reworked to use the `api_app`. I removed the `which` flag functionality because the
`which` are called at import and needed their own multiprocessing.Event.
