VidArch Docs
Operation

Update

Update VidArch and yt-dlp without losing archives.

Docker Image

Back up the instance first, then:

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Then check the logs, /api/health, the library, and an authorized test download.

To control changes, you can pin an image tag instead of latest, and then change it deliberately after reading the release notes.

From Sources

Update the chosen branch, run npm ci at the root and in client/, then rebuild the application.

yt-dlp

The System & yt-dlp page displays the version and allows for a manual update. The automatic weekly update can be disabled. After an update, test a search and a download before considering the operation complete.
