Clippable

A small self hostable alternative to streamable. Built with Rocket.rs

Testing

A docker container is provided:

  • docker pull registry.gitlab.com/shockrah/clippable:latest

Below is the suggested way test things out

  • docker run --rm -p 8482:8482 -it -v /path/to/clips:/media/clips -v /path/to/thumbnails:/media/thumbnails

NOTE: Without proper thumbnails you get the "404" gif everywhere but the videos will still be there.

Admin Setup/Configuration

There are a few environment variables that can be configured:

  • CLIPS_DIR : default = /media/clips

  • THUMBS_DIR: default = /media/thumbnails

Building the backend

Currently the project relies on Rust Nightly to build due to a requirement in Rocket however as that framework moves to Rust Stable so to will this project.

Building frontend javascript

Currently the website's javascript is written in typescript then compiled to Javascript. The output directory is /api/static/js/ which means mkdir -p api/static/js must be ran in order to ensure that output directory is present and compilation succeeds. There are no dependencies and is only written in typescript to enforce some level of consistency among contributor code.
