## Project Overview
MediaLore is a **self-hosted media library browser** for images and videos. It provides a web UI for browsing, searching, tagging, and viewing media with thumbnail previews and doom-scroll/TikTok-style consumption.

## API Conventions
All endpoints are prefixed with `/api`. All responses are JSON except `/api/media/:id/file` (binary stream) and `/api/media/:id/thumbnail` (JPEG).
**All endpoints require authentication** except `POST /api/auth/login`. The `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header must be included. File and thumbnail endpoints also accept `?token=` as a query parameter (for `<img>`/`<video>` tags that can't send headers).
### Auth Endpoints
| Method | Path | Auth | Purpose |
|--------|-------------------|--------|-----------------------------|
| `POST` | `/auth/login` | Public | Returns JWT `access_token` |
| `GET` | `/auth/me` | User | Current user info |
| `GET` | `/auth/users` | Admin | List all users |
| `POST` | `/auth/users` | Admin | Create a new user |
| `DELETE` | `/auth/users/{id}` | Admin | Delete a user (not self) |
### Async Database Access

### Authentication Dependency
All protected endpoints use `get_current_user` (from `app/auth.py`) as a FastAPI dependency:
```python
from app.auth import get_current_user
from app.models import User
@router.get("/...")
async def endpoint(
db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),

Admin-only endpoints chain `get_current_admin_user`:

@router.delete("/users/{user_id}")
async def delete_user(
user_id: int,
current_user: User = Depends(get_current_admin_user),
...
):
```
File and thumbnail endpoints use `get_current_user_from_query_or_header` which accepts the token via `Authorization` header or `?token=` query parameter.
### Frontend API Client

## Docker / Deployment
- `docker compose up -d` starts both services
- Backend runs on port 8000 (internal), frontend Nginx on port 80 (mapped to 8085 on host)
- Images are pulled from the Gitea container registry (`git.gpatti.com/<owner>/medialore-backend` and `...frontend`)
- Backend runs on port 8000 (internal), frontend Nginx on port 80 (mapped to 8080 on host)
- Nginx proxies `/api/` to `http://backend:8000`
- Media paths from the host are volume-mounted into the container at `/media`
- Persistent data (DB, thumbnails) stored in Docker volume `medialore-data`
- Set `OWNER` in `.env` to control which registry namespace images are pulled from
### CI/CD (Gitea Actions)
The workflow at `.gitea/workflows/container-publish.yml` automatically builds and pushes Docker images to the Gitea container registry on push to `main` or version tags (`v*`).
**Required secrets** (set in repo Settings → Actions → Secrets):
| Secret | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `REGISTRY_USER` | Gitea username for docker login |
| `REGISTRY_TOKEN` | Gitea PAT with `read:packages` and `write:packages` scopes |
To pull images from the private registry on a host, run `docker login git.gpatti.com` first with the same credentials.
### Local Development (without registry)
For local development without pulling from the registry, switch docker-compose.yml back to local builds:
```yaml
services:
backend:
build: ./backend # instead of image: ...
frontend:
build: ./frontend # instead of image: ...
```
## Important Notes
- **No auth/authentication** — CORS allows all origins, no login system
- **Authentication is required** for all endpoints and UI pages except `/api/auth/login`. JWT tokens are signed with `SECRET_KEY` (auto-generated if unset, so set it for persistent sessions). File/thumbnail endpoints also accept `?token=` as a query parameter since `<img>`/`<video>` tags can't send headers.
- Thumbnails are generated on first request and cached to disk (`THUMBNAIL_DIR`)
- The scanner computes SHA-256 hashes to detect moved/renamed files and avoid re-processing
- File watcher uses watchdog with per-library `PollingObserver` (necessary for Docker volumes)
- `media_items.missing` flag is set when a scanned file no longer exists on disk
- The frontend `build` command runs `tsc -b` first, which checks types across project references — type errors will block the build
- Admin user is created automatically on first startup from `ADMIN_USERNAME`/`ADMIN_PASSWORD` env vars; additional users can be created via the Settings page by an admin
