The database now lives at <media>/config/wrolpi.db so a library (files, configs, AND database) travels with the drive between WROLPi systems. Core: - wrolpi/db.py: lazy SQLite engine factory (WAL, busy_timeout=30s, foreign_keys=ON); get_db_curs yields a plain sqlite3.Cursor; native sqlite3 paramstyle everywhere (no compatibility shims); global sqlite3 adapters keep raw-SQL datetime formats identical to the ORM's. - wrolpi/fts.py: FTS5 external-content search replacing tsvector/GIN. Injection-proof websearch->FTS5 translator, bm25(10,4,2,1) reproducing A/B/C/D weighting, fast(abc)/deep column filtering, snippet headlines. Stemming contract pinned by dedicated tests (watch/watches/watched/ watching are interchangeable). - wrolpi/schema_ddl.py: SQLite triggers shared verbatim by the alembic baseline and test DBs; fixes the channel video_count DELETE/UPDATE bugs and a latent total_size bug (it used the video id as channel id). - wrolpi/db_bootstrap.py: startup auto-create/migrate; refuses databases written by a newer WROLPi (db_version_mismatch); SQLite 3.40 floor; network-filesystem refusal; never creates/migrates/trusts a database beneath an unmounted production media directory (shadow-DB guard). - Alembic: 85 Postgres-era migrations squashed into one baseline; revision ids are dates (2026_07_10_1350) so filenames self-sort and alembic_version says when a schema was created; render_as_batch=True. - All raw Postgres SQL rewritten (ANY->json_each IN, array_agg @> -> HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT), unnest->executemany/UPDATE..FROM, generate_series histograms->strftime GROUP BY, DISTINCT ON-> row_number(), writable CTEs->two statements, jsonb_*->json_*, explicit NULLS FIRST/LAST, LIMIT-before-OFFSET). Simple statements converted to SQLAlchemy instead (flag upsert, download retry/summary/tag checks, channel-by-tag estimate, Directory delete). - Config imports count skipped entries; background dumps are blocked after a lossy import so partial imports can never overwrite YAML configs (they are the sole source of truth for rebuilds now). - Search tolerates explicit JSON nulls for limit/offset (Postgres treated OFFSET NULL as 0; SQLite errors). - file_group.id/doc_section.id render as INTEGER PRIMARY KEY on SQLite (BIGINT is not a rowid alias; FTS5 content_rowid requires it). Ops teardown: docker-compose db service, CI postgres sidecars, initialize_api_db.sh, controller postgresql service, psycopg2-binary all removed. upgrade.sh stops/disables postgresql (data is NOT deleted; `systemctl enable --now postgresql` restores it); systemd units no longer Want postgresql.service. Existing-user upgrade: first boot creates+migrates the DB, configs import (tags recreate their FileGroups from disk), a refresh rebuilds the library index. QA'd on the 10.0.0.8 RPi: rebuild matched the Postgres baseline exactly; survived an uncontrolled hard reboot with clean integrity checks. Accepted behavior changes: FTS5 has no stopwords; bm25 length normalization shifts some rank orders; fast-path d_headline is un-highlighted; all-negative queries match nothing. Deferred: Debian/trixie package lists (incl. sqlite3 CLI), Cypress re-baseline, VACUUM INTO snapshots, exFAT/NTFS warning, auto-kicked rebuild refresh with progress UX.

TLS Certificates
WROLPi uses a two-tier PKI for HTTPS. A root CA is generated once and persists in the media directory. A leaf certificate is regenerated on every container start to pick up hostname and IP changes.
How it works
- On first start, the
webcontainer generates a root CA at/opt/media/config/ssl/. - A leaf cert signed by the root CA is created at
/etc/ssl/caddy/inside the container. - Caddy serves HTTPS on ports 443, 8084, 8085, and 8086 using the leaf cert.
- The Controller serves on port 80 with a certificate trust banner when needed.
Trusting the certificate
- Browse to
http://<host-ip>to see the Controller. If the HTTPS certificate is not yet trusted, a banner will appear with the download link and platform-specific trust instructions. - Download and install the root CA on your device.
- All HTTPS ports will work without browser warnings.
The root CA only needs to be trusted once. Leaf certs can be regenerated (hostname change, container rebuild) without needing to re-trust.
Name Constraints
The root CA is restricted to local/private networks only via X.509 Name Constraints. Even if the CA key were compromised, it cannot sign certificates for public domains.
Permitted:
- DNS:
*.local,localhost - IPv4:
127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16 - IPv6:
::1,fc00::/7(unique local),fe80::/10(link-local)
EXTRA_SANS
The Docker container cannot discover the host's real LAN IP. Set EXTRA_SANS in a
.env file so the leaf certificate includes your host's IP and hostname:
# .env
EXTRA_SANS=IP:10.0.0.5,DNS:myhost.local
Each entry must have a type prefix (IP: or DNS:). Multiple entries are
comma-separated. After changing EXTRA_SANS, restart the web container:
docker compose up -d --build web
Regenerating the root CA
If you need to regenerate the root CA (e.g. after updating the certificate generation script), delete the old CA files and rebuild:
rm test/config/ssl/ca.crt test/config/ssl/ca.key
docker compose up -d --build web
All devices will need to re-download and re-trust the new CA from
http://<host-ip>/ca.crt.
Volumes
The test/ directory is mounted to /opt/media inside containers, serving as the
media directory for development. Certificate files, configs, and downloaded content
are stored here.
Two external volumes are required for the map service:
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-data
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-rendered-tiles
