"""`Tube Archivist`_ - *Your self hosted YouTube media server.*
 
.. _Tube Archivist: https://www.tubearchivist.com
 
This engine connects with a self-hosted instance of `Tube Archivist`_ to allow
searching for your hosted videos.
 
`Tube Archivist`_ (TA) requires authentication for all image loads via cookie
authentication.  What this means is that by default, SearXNG will have no way to
pull images from TA (as there is no way to pass cookies in a URL string only).
 
In the meantime while work is done on the TA side, this can be worked around by
bypassing auth for images in TA by altering the default TA nginx file.
 
This is located in the main tubearchivist docker container at::
 
  /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
 
It is **strongly** recommended first setting up the intial connection and
verying searching works first with broken images, and then attempting this
change.  This will limit any debugging to only images, rather than
tokens/networking.
 
Steps to enable **unauthenticated** metadata access for channels and videos:
 
#. Perform any backups of TA before editing core configurations.
 
#. Copy the contents of the file ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/default`` in the
   TA docker container
 
#. Edit ``location /cache/videos`` and ``location /cache/channels``.  Comment
   out the line ``auth_request /api/ping/;`` to ``# auth_request /api/ping/;``.
 
#. Save the file to wherever you normally store your docker configuration.
 
#. Mount this new configuration over the default configuration.  With ``docker
   run``, this would be::
 
     -v ./your-new-config.yml:/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
 
   With ``docker compose``, this would be::
 
     - "./your-new-config.yml:/etc/nginx/sites-available/default:ro"
 
#. Start the TA container.
 
After these steps, double check that TA works as normal (nothing should be
different on the TA side).  Searching again should now show images.
 
 
Configuration

The engine has the following required settings:
 
- :py:obj:`base_url`
- :py:obj:`ta_token`
 
Optional settings:
 
- :py:obj:`ta_link_to_mp4`
