Prerequisites

You need docker compose for your OS. Windows is supported via WSL2.

Getting started

  1. Copy .env.example to .env and update config as you need.

  2. Ensure the directories exist before starting the containers. The SOLR_DIR, must have it's owner uid and gid set to 8983.

mkdir -p /mnt/c/trace.moe/video/
mkdir -p /mnt/c/trace.moe/hash/
mkdir -p /mnt/c/trace.moe/sqlite/
mkdir -p /mnt/c/trace.moe/solr/
sudo chown 8983:8983 /mnt/c/trace.moe/solr/
  1. Start the cluster
docker compose up

How to begin hashing

trace.moe-api will scan the VIDEO_PATH every minute for new video files (.mp4 or .mkv). You can manually trigger a scan by calling /scan at the api server

curl http://localhost:3311/scan

Any video format readable by ffmpeg is supported. But the file extension must be either .mp4 or .mkv, other files will be ignored.

Folder structure for anilist ID

trace.moe assumes the folder name is anilist ID. If your data is not related to anilist ID, you can use any id/text you want. The system would still work partially without anilist data. The files must be contained in 1-level folders, e.g.

/mnt/c/trace.moe/video/{anilist_ID}/foo.mp4
