### Elasticsearch
Stores video meta data and makes everything searchable. Also keeps track of the download queue.

- 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 file system. Used to store and display messages and configuration variables.

## Import your existing library
So far this depends on the video you are trying to import to be still available on youtube to get the metadata. Add the files you like to import to the */cache/import* folder. Then start the process from the settings page *Manual media files import*. Make sure to follow one of the two methods below.
