As part of the metadata refresh task, Tube Archivist will mark videos, channels and playlists as deactivated, if they are no longer available on YouTube. For some reasons, that might have deactivated something that shouldn't have, for example if a video got reinstated after a copyright strike on YT. You can reactivate all things in bulk, so the refresh task will check them again and deactivate the ones that are actually not available anymore.

## Corrupted ES index reset ## Corrupted ES index reset
After a hard reset of your server or any other hardware failure you might experience data corruption. ES can be particularly unhappy about that, especially if the reset happens during actively writing to disk. It's very likely that only your `/indices` folder got corrupted, as that is where the regular read/writes happen. Luckily you have your [snapshots](settings/application.md#snapshots) set up.

It's very likely that only your `/indices` folder got corrupted, as that is where the regular read/writes happen. Luckily you have your [snapshots](settings/application.md#snapshots) set up.
ES will not start, if the data is corrupted. So, stop all containers, delete everything *except* the `/snapshot` folder in the ES volume. After that, start everything back up. Tube Archivist will create a new blank index. All your snapshots should be available for restore on your settings page, you probably want to restore the most recent one. After restore, run a [filesystem rescan](settings/actions.md#rescan-filesystem) for good measures. !!! warning

## ES mapping migrations troubleshooting ## ES mapping migrations troubleshooting
Tube Archivist will apply mapping changes at application startup. That usually is needed when changing how an existing field is indexed. That should be seamless and automatic, but can leave your index in a messed up state if that process gets interrupted for any reason. Common reasons could be that if you artificially limit the memory to the container, disabling the OS to dynamically manage that, or if you don't have enough available storage on the ES volume, or if you interrupt that because of your impatience (don't do that). **Tube Archivist** will apply mapping changes at application startup for certain versions.

The `:root` pseudo-class contains variables that are frequently used in `style.css` for consistent theming. However, not all changes need to be made in `:root`. Classes, IDs, and HTML tags can have their properties overrridden by simply declaring new properties.

To create a stylesheet, any selectable stylesheet should be used as a base. Changes can then be made as needed. Changes can be previewed easily by editing the existing stylesheet in realtime through your browser's developer tools.

If you want to use other locations, you can replace the `media:`, `cache:`, `redis:`, and `es:` volume names with absolute paths; if you do, remove them from the `volumes:` list at the bottom of the file.

### Port Collisions ### Port Collisions
If you have a collision on port `8000`, best solution is to use dockers *HOST_PORT* and *CONTAINER_PORT* distinction: To for example change the interface to port 9000 use `9000:8000` in your docker-compose file. If you have a collision on port `8000`, best solution is to use Docker's *HOST_PORT* and *CONTAINER_PORT* distinction: For example, to change the interface to port 9000, use `9000:8000` in your `docker-compose.yml` file under `tubearchivist`->`port`.
Should that not be an option, the Tube Archivist container takes these two additional environment variables: Should that not be an option, the TA container takes these two additional environment variables:
- **TA_PORT**: To actually change the port where nginx listens, make sure to also change the ports value in your docker-compose file. - **TA_PORT**: To actually change the port where nginx listens, make sure to also change the ports value in your `docker-compose.yml` file.
- **TA_UWSGI_PORT**: To change the default uwsgi port 8080 used for container internal networking between uwsgi serving the django application and nginx. - **TA_UWSGI_PORT**: To change the default uwsgi port from 8080, which is used for container internal networking between uwsgi, serving the django application, and nginx.
Changing any of these two environment variables will change the files *nginx.conf* and *uwsgi.ini* at startup using `sed` in your container. Changing any of these two environment variables will change the files *nginx.conf* and *uwsgi.ini* at startup, using `sed` in your container.
