* docs(docker): Recommended image DEFAULT_WORKSPACE
* fix(docker): Add default crontab download command
Clarify the `/config/ytdl-sub-configs/cron` script with explanatory comments and a
default `--dry-run` command. Also change the wrapper script to echo commands for easier
debugging. To update an existing script, move the old script aside, restart the
container to regenerate it, and edit the new script.
Also clarify the Automating page in the Getting Started guide docs.
* fix(docker): Unintentional unattended dry runs
[PR feedback](https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/pull/1321#discussion_r2315215600)
prompted me to reconsider having a default command at all. We should assume,
unfortunately, that many new users will just skim the docs enough to enable the image's
cron integration but not actually incrementally test their configuration. In those
cases, they'd end up sending dry-run non-download requests for all their subscriptions
every 6 hours for no good reason. There's just no way to provide a default command that
isn't also providing a footgun.
* docs(docker): More open cron schedule generator
From [PR
feedback](https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/pull/1321#discussion_r2320521024), this
seems like less of an ad than the previous and the source for the page is itself open source.

Fixes `UPDATE_YT_DLP_ON_START` when set to 'nightly' as the pip command is missing --break-system-packages. Simplifies dockerfiles by setting this globally via pip config file.
Thanks @Snuffy2 for the contribution!
Closes https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/1154
For docker images, add the ability to set the variable `UPDATE_YT_DLP_ON_START`, which will update yt-dlp to the specified version if a new one exists.
Supports ``stable``, ``nightly``, ``master``.
Changes documentation and default configs to use the `/tv_shows` default path shown in the docker compose setup.
Also changes working directory and file lock directory to not be in /tmp, which often causes permission issues.
Adds better support to run commands via `docker exec ...` by setting the working directory to be ytdl-sub's working directory.
Thanks @rpatterson for the contribution 😊
* docs(config): Clarify preset ordering priority
Refs #1276
* docs(architecture): WIP Narrative how it works
Much of this is repetition of the reference docs and some of the changes here should
also be applied here. The goal is to repeat here the parts of the reference docs that
may hang up a user when reading "Getting Started" without sending them off to get lost
in the weeds of the reference docs.
Note that this references a `Quick Start` document which is just an empty placeholder
and is to be written in a subsequent change.
Fixes#1279
* docs(terms): Glossary redundant with architecture
Now that the introduction includes an architectural overview, that section introduces
new users to necessary concepts and associated terminology and makes the terminology
section redundant in that part of the docs.
* docs(quick): Add a rote quick start guide
This is what I came up with when I tried to write instructions requiring as little
understanding as possible. Doing so really did reinforce my impression that this just
shouldn't be done, that significant understanding is required for *any* use of ytdl-sub
and even offering a quick start may be irresponsible. I'm still on the fence, thoughts?
That said, I also think I got some good explanations out of this and a better
understanding of what the next bits of the Getting Started should be. This Quick Start
is currently redundant with other parts of the Getting Started pages. I suspect that
I'll end up repeating and/or reorganizing parts of this Quick Start into the next bits
of the Getting Started. To that end I might argue that this change is a WIP and that
merging should wait. But I could also argue that this is an incremental improvement and
can be merged before that other work. Your call.
* docs(start): Various rST/Sphinx markup issues
- Update Ubuntu-based images to use Python 3.12
- Move hidden files from GUI image's main dir
- Update github workflows to use python 3.12
- Update fixtures
- Minor doc fixes
Drastically simplifies setting up cron within ytdl-sub. Below is the documentation which is available in readthedocs, and a section on how to migrate from the old way to this.
## New Cron Documentation
Cron is preconfigured in every ytdl-sub docker container. Enable by adding the following ENV variables to your docker setup.
```
services:
ytdl-sub:
environment:
- CRON_SCHEDULE="0 */6 * * *"
- CRON_RUN_ON_START=false
```
- CRON_SCHEDULE follows the standard [cron scheduling syntax](https://crontab.guru/#0_*/6_*_*_*). The above value will run the script once every 6 hours.
- CRON_RUN_ON_START toggles whether to run your cron script on container start.
The cron script will reside in the main directory with the file name `cron`. Cron logs should show when viewing the Docker logs.
## Migrating Existing Cron Setup
Containers' cron files will remain intact until you add the `CRON_SCHEDULE` variable. Once you add that with your preferred schedule, it will write that value to /config/crontabs/abc and create a new file `cron` within your working directory. Simply copy everything from your existing `run_cron` script into `cron`.
If you have the ENV variable `DOCKER_MODS` in your docker-compose, remove it. It is now included by default. Not removing this will prevent cron logs from showing in your docker container logs.
Adds a new mechanism to limit subscriptions' number of videos to an explicit number (only supported date ranges prior to this).
Example usage:
```
output_options:
keep_max_files: 10
```
will only keep 10 videos at max.
In addition:
- `keep_max_files` is bundled into the `Only Recent` preset and can be used via setting the `only_recent_max_files` override variable (see examples or README for usage).
- Changed the `date_range` variable name to `only_recent_date_range` for more clarity. Usage of `date_range` will continue to work.
As of ~2 days ago, the ytdl-sub-gui image broke from using an older version of the `code-server` image. After this push, it should be fixed + working as intended
Adds a new docker image: `ytdl-sub-gui:latest` which is ytdl-sub packaged with VS-Code via LinuxServer.io's code-server image: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/code-server
Proper documentation will be added later
