## How do I import my videos to Emby-Plex-Jellyfin-Kodi?
|
||||
Although there are similarities between these excellent projects and Tube Archivist, they have a very different use case. Trying to fit the metadata relations and database structure of a YouTube archival project into these media servers that specialize in Movies and TV shows is always going to be limiting.
|
||||
|
||||
Part of the scope is to be its own media server, so that's where the focus and effort of this project is. That being said, the nature of self hosted and open source software gives you all the possible freedom to use your media as you wish.

## How do I install this natively?

This project is a classical Docker application: There are multiple moving parts that need to be able to interact with each other and need to be compatible with multiple architectures and operating systems. Additionally Docker also drastically reduces development complexity which is highly appreciated.

### Elasticsearch on a custom port
|
||||
Should you need to change the port for Elasticsearch to for example `9500`, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
- Set the environment variable `http.port=9500` to the ES container
|
||||
- Change the `expose` value for the ES container to match your port number
|
||||
- For the Tube Archivist container, change the `ES_URL` environment variable, e.g. `ES_URL=http://archivist-es:9500`

## Snapshots
|
||||
System snapshots will automatically make daily snapshots of the Elasticsearch index. The task will start at 12pm your local time. Snapshots are deduplicated, meaning that each snapshot will only have to backup changes since the last snapshot. The initial snapshot may be slow, but subsequent runs will be much faster. There is also a cleanup function implemented, that will remove snapshots older than 30 days.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
This will make a snapshot of your metadata index only, no media files or additional configuration variables you have set on the settings page will be backed up.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to these improvements compared to the previous backup solution, system snapshots will replace the current backup system in a future version.
|
||||
|
||||
Before activating system snapshots, you'll have to add one additional environment variables to the *archivist-es* container:
|
||||
```
|
||||
path.repo=/usr/share/elasticsearch/data/snapshot
|
||||
```
|
||||
The variable `path.repo` will set the folder where the snapshots will go inside the Elasticsearch container, you can't change it, but the variable needs to be set. Rebuild the container for changes to take effect, e.g `docker compose up -d`.
|
||||
System snapshots will automatically make daily snapshots of the Elasticsearch index. The task will start at 12pm your local time. Snapshots are deduplicated, meaning that each snapshot will only have to backup changes since the last snapshot. Old snpshots will automatically get deleted after 30 days.

|

The field **Refresh older than x days** takes a number where TubeArchivist will consider an item as *outdated*. This value is used to calculate how many items need to be refreshed today based on the total indexed. This will spread out the requests to YouTube. Sensible value here is **90** days.

Additionally to the outdated documents, this will also refresh very recently published videos. This is to keep metadata and statistics uptodate during the first few days when the video goes live.
