+You can deploy MediaCMS on Elestio using one-click deployment. Elestio supports MediaCMS by providing revenue share so go ahead and click below to deploy and use MediaCMS.
 
-## Hardware dependencies
+[![Deploy on Elestio](https://elest.io/images/logos/deploy-to-elestio-btn.png)](https://elest.io/open-source/mediacms)
 
-For a small to medium installation, with a few hours of video uploaded daily, and a few hundreds of active daily users viewing content, 4GB Ram / 2-4 CPUs as minimum is ok. For a larger installation with many hours of video uploaded daily, consider adding more CPUs and more Ram.    
+## Hardware considerations

+For a small to medium installation, with a few hours of video uploaded daily, and a few hundreds of active daily users viewing content, 4GB Ram / 2-4 CPUs as minimum is ok. For a larger installation with many hours of video uploaded daily, consider adding more CPUs and more Ram.
 
 In terms of disk space, think of what the needs will be. A general rule is to multiply by three the size of the expected uploaded videos (since the system keeps original versions, encoded versions plus HLS), so if you receive 1G of videos daily and maintain all of them, you should consider a 1T disk across a year (1G * 3 * 365).
 
+In order to support automatic transcriptions through Whisper, consider more CPUs.
 
-## Installation
+## Installation / Maintanance
 
-There are two ways to run MediaCMS, through Docker Compose and through installing it on a server via an automation script that installs and configures all needed services.
+There are two ways to run MediaCMS, through Docker Compose and through installing it on a server via an automation script that installs and configures all needed services. Find the related pages:
 
-### Docker Compose installation
+- [Single Server](docs/admins_docs.md#2-server-installation) page
-Install a recent version of [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/), and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
+- [Docker Compose](docs/admins_docs.md#3-docker-installation) page
 
-Run as root
+  A complete guide can be found on the blog post [How to self-host and share your videos in 2021](https://medium.com/@MediaCMS.io/how-to-self-host-and-share-your-videos-in-2021-14067e3b291b).
 
-```bash
+## Documentation
-git clone https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms
-cd mediacms
-```
 
-The default option to serve MediaCMS is on http://localhost. If you want to set a url and have it served there, set the `FRONTEND_HOST` variable on file `deploy/docker/local_settings.py`.
+* [Users documentation](docs/user_docs.md) page
-
+* [Administrators documentation](docs/admins_docs.md) page
-Now run
+* [Developers documentation](docs/developers_docs.md) page
-
+* [Configuration](docs/admins_docs.md#5-configuration) page
-```bash
+* [Transcoding](docs/transcoding.md) page
-docker-compose build && docker-compose up
+* [Developer Experience](docs/dev_exp.md) page
-```
+* [Media Permissions](docs/media_permissions.md) page
-
-This will build an image, download and setup necessary Docker images and start all containers. Once it finishes, MediaCMS will be installed and available on http://localhost (or the url you've set as `FRONTEND_HOST` on file `deploy/docker/local_settings.py`)
-
-For more instructions, checkout the docs on the [Docker deployment](docs/Docker_deployment.md) page. Docker Compose support has been contributed by @swiftugandan.
-
-
-### Single server installation
-
-The core dependencies are Python3, Django3, Celery, PostgreSQL, Redis, ffmpeg. Any system that can have these dependencies installed, can run MediaCMS. But we strongly suggest installing on Linux Ubuntu 18 or 20 versions.
-
-Installation on a Ubuntu 18 or 20 system with git utility installed should be completed in a few minutes with the following steps.
-Make sure you run it as user root, on a clear system, since the automatic script will install and configure the following services: Celery/PostgreSQL/Redis/Nginx and will override any existing settings. 
-
-Automated script - to run on Ubuntu 18 or Ubuntu 20 flavors only!
-
-```bash
-mkdir /home/mediacms.io && cd /home/mediacms.io/
-git clone https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms
-cd /home/mediacms.io/mediacms/ && bash ./install.sh
-```
-
-The script will ask if you have a URL where you want to deploy MediaCMS, otherwise it will use localhost. If you provide a URL, it will use Let's Encrypt service to install a valid ssl certificate. 
-
-
-## Update
-
-If you've used the above way to install MediaCMS, update with the following:
-
-```bash
-cd /home/mediacms.io/mediacms # enter mediacms directory
-source  /home/mediacms.io/bin/activate # use virtualenv
-git pull # update code
-python manage.py migrate # run Django migrations
-sudo systemctl restart mediacms celery_long celery_short # restart services
-```
-
-
-## Configure
-
-Several options are available on cms/settings.py, most of the things that are allowed or should be disallowed are described there. It is advisable to override any of them by adding it to cms/local_settings.py. All configuration options will be documented gradually on the [Configuration](docs/Configuration.md) page.

+
+ACCOUNT_PREVENT_ENUMERATION = 'strict'
+
+```
+
+## SAML Configuration Steps
+
+### Step 1: Add SAML Identity Provider
+1. Navigate to Admin panel
+2. Select "Identity Provider"
+3. Configure as follows:
+   - **Provider**: saml # ensure this is set with lower case!
+   - **Provider ID**: `wayf.wayf.dk`
+   - **IDP Config Name**: `Deic` (or preferred name)
+   - **Client ID**: `wayf_dk` (important: defines the URL, e.g., `https://deic.mediacms.io/accounts/saml/wayf_dk`)
+   - **Site**: Set the default one
+
+### Step 2: Add SAML Configuration
+Can be set through the SAML Configurations tab:
+
+1. **IDP ID**: Must be a URL, e.g., `https://wayf.wayf.dk`
+2. **IDP Certificate**: x509cert from your SAML provider
+3. **SSO URL**: `https://wayf.wayf.dk/saml2/idp/SSOService2.php`
+4. **SLO URL**: `https://wayf.wayf.dk/saml2/idp/SingleLogoutService.php`
+5. **SP Metadata URL**: The metadata URL set for the SP, e.g., `https://deic.mediacms.io/saml/metadata`. This should point to the URL of the SP and is autogenerated
+
+### Step 3: Set the other Options
+1. **Email Settings**:
+   - `verified_email`: When enabled, emails from SAML responses will be marked as verified
+   - `Remove from groups`: When enabled, user is removed from a group after login, if they have been removed from the group on the IDP
+2. **Global Role Mapping**: Maps the role returned by SAML (as set in the SAML Configuration tab) with the role in MediaCMS
+3. **Group Role Mapping**: Maps the role returned by SAML (as set in the SAML Configuration tab) with the role in groups that user will be added
+4. **Group mapping**: This creates groups associated with this IDP. Group ids as they come from SAML, associated with MediaCMS groups
+5. **Category Mapping**: This maps a group id (from SAML response) with a category in MediaCMS

+  Configure ImageMagick policies.
+
+  Domains include system, delegate, coder, filter, path, or resource.
+
+  Rights include none, read, write, execute and all.  Use | to combine them,
+  for example: "read | write" to permit read from, or write to, a path.
+
+  Use a glob expression as a pattern.
+
+  Suppose we do not want users to process MPEG video images:
+
+    <policy domain="delegate" rights="none" pattern="mpeg:decode" />
+
+  Here we do not want users reading images from HTTP:
+
+    <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="HTTP" />
+
+  The /repository file system is restricted to read only.  We use a glob
+  expression to match all paths that start with /repository:
+
+    <policy domain="path" rights="read" pattern="/repository/*" />
+
+  Lets prevent users from executing any image filters:
+
+    <policy domain="filter" rights="none" pattern="*" />
+
+  Any large image is cached to disk rather than memory:
+
+    <policy domain="resource" name="area" value="1GP"/>
+
+  Use the default system font unless overwridden by the application:
+
+    <policy domain="system" name="font" value="/usr/share/fonts/favorite.ttf"/>
+
+  Define arguments for the memory, map, area, width, height and disk resources
+  with SI prefixes (.e.g 100MB).  In addition, resource policies are maximums
+  for each instance of ImageMagick (e.g. policy memory limit 1GB, -limit 2GB
+  exceeds policy maximum so memory limit is 1GB).
+
+  Rules are processed in order.  Here we want to restrict ImageMagick to only
+  read or write a small subset of proven web-safe image types:
+
+    <policy domain="delegate" rights="none" pattern="*" />
+    <policy domain="filter" rights="none" pattern="*" />

-## Configuration
-
-A number of options are available on `cms/settings.py`. 
-
-It is advisable to override any of them by adding it to `cms/local_settings.py` . 
-
-Any change needs restart of MediaCMS in order to take effect. So edit `cms/local_settings.py`, make a change and restart MediaCMS 
-
-```
-#systemctl restart mediacms
-```
-
-
-### change portal logo
-
-Set a new svg file for the white theme (`static/images/logo_dark.svg`) or the dark theme (`static/images/logo_light.svg`)
-
-### set global portal title
-
-set `PORTAL_NAME`, eg
-
-```
-PORTAL_NAME = 'my awesome portal'
-```
-
-### who can add media
-
-By default `CAN_ADD_MEDIA = "all"` means that all registered users can add media. Other valid options are:
-
-- **email_verified**, a user not only has to register an account but also verify the email (by clicking the link sent upon registration). Apparently email configuration need to work, otherise users won't receive emails. 
-
-- **advancedUser**, only users that are marked as advanced users can add media. Admins or MediaCMS managers can make users advanced users by editing their profile and selecting advancedUser.
-
-### what is the portal workflow
-
-The `PORTAL_WORKFLOW` variable specifies what happens to newly uploaded media, whether they appear on listings (as the index page, or search)
-
-- **public** is the default option and means that a media can appear on listings. If media type is video, it will appear once at least a task that produces an encoded version of the file has finished succesfully. For other type of files, as image/audio they appear instantly
-
-- **private** means that newly uploaded content is private - only users can see it or MediaCMS editors, managers and admins. Those can also set the status to public or unlisted
-
-- **unlisted** means that items are unlisted. However if a user visits the url of an unlisted media, it will be shown (as opposed to private)
-

-UPLOAD_MEDIA_ALLOWED = True
-```
-
-To hide:
-
-```
-UPLOAD_MEDIA_ALLOWED = False
-```
-
-### show/hide the actions buttons (like/dislike/report)
-
-Make changes (True/False) to any of the following:
-
-```
-- CAN_LIKE_MEDIA = True  # whether the like media appears
-- CAN_DISLIKE_MEDIA = True  # whether the dislike media appears
-- CAN_REPORT_MEDIA = True  # whether the report media appears
-- CAN_SHARE_MEDIA = True  # whether the share media appears
-```
-
-### automatically hide media upon being reported
-
-set a low number for variable `REPORTED_TIMES_THRESHOLD`
-eg 
-
-```
-REPORTED_TIMES_THRESHOLD = 2
-```
-
-once the limit is reached, media goes to private state and an email is sent to admins
-
-### set a custom message on the media upload page
-
-this message will appear below the media drag and drop form
-
-```
-PRE_UPLOAD_MEDIA_MESSAGE = 'custom message'
-```
-
-### set email settings
-
-Set correct settings per provider
-
-```
-DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'info@mediacms.io'
-EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'xyz'
-EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'info@mediacms.io'
-EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
-SERVER_EMAIL = DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL
-EMAIL_HOST = 'mediacms.io'
-EMAIL_PORT = 587
-ADMIN_EMAIL_LIST = ['info@mediacms.io']
-```
-
-### disallow user registrations from specific domains
-
-set domains that are not valid for registration via this variable:
-
-```
-RESTRICTED_DOMAINS_FOR_USER_REGISTRATION = [
-    'xxx.com', 'emaildomainwhatever.com']
-```
-
-### require a review by MediaCMS editors/managers/admins
-
-set value
-
-```
-MEDIA_IS_REVIEWED = False
-```
-
-any uploaded media now needs to be reviewed before it can appear to the listings. 
-MediaCMS editors/managers/admins can visit the media page and edit it, where they can see the option to mark media as reviewed. By default this is set to True, so all media don't require to be reviewed
-
-### specify maximum number of media for a playlist
-
-set a different threshold on variable `MAX_MEDIA_PER_PLAYLIST`
-
-eg

-# MediaCMS on Docker
-
-The mediacms image is built to use supervisord as the main process, which manages one or more services required to run mediacms. We can toggle which services are run in a given container by setting the environment variables below to `yes` or `no`:
-
-* ENABLE_UWSGI
-* ENABLE_NGINX
-* ENABLE_CELERY_BEAT
-* ENABLE_CELERY_SHORT
-* ENABLE_CELERY_LONG
-* ENABLE_MIGRATIONS
-
-By default, all these services are enabled, but in order to create a scaleable deployment, some of them can be disabled, splitting the service up into smaller services.
-
-Also see the `Dockerfile` for other environment variables which you may wish to override. Application settings, eg. `FRONTEND_HOST` can also be overridden by updating the `deploy/docker/local_settings.py` file.
-
-See example deployments in the sections below. These example deployments have been tested on `docker-compose version 1.27.4` running on `Docker version 19.03.13`
-
-To run, update the configs above if necessary, build the image by running `docker-compose build`, then run `docker-compose run`
-
-## Simple Deployment, accessed as http://localhost
-
-The main container runs migrations, mediacms_web, celery_beat, celery_workers (celery_short and celery_long services), exposed on port 80 supported by redis and postgres database. The FRONTEND_HOST in `deploy/docker/local_settings.py` is configured as http://localhost, on the docker host machine.
-
-## Advanced Deployment, accessed as http://localhost:8000
-
-Here we can run 1 mediacms_web instance, with the FRONTEND_HOST in `deploy/docker/local_settings.py` configured as http://localhost:8000. This is bootstrapped by a single migrations instance and supported by a single celery_beat instance and 1 or more celery_worker instances. Redis and postgres containers are also used for persistence. Clients can access the service on http://localhost:8000, on the docker host machine. This is similar to [this deployment](../docker-compose.yaml), with a `port` defined in FRONTEND_HOST.
-
-## Advanced Deployment, with reverse proxy, accessed as http://mediacms.io
-
-Here we can use `jwilder/nginx-proxy` to reverse proxy to 1 or more instances of mediacms_web supported by other services as mentioned in the previous deployment. The FRONTEND_HOST in `deploy/docker/local_settings.py` is configured as http://mediacms.io, nginx-proxy has port 80 exposed. Clients can access the service on http://mediacms.io (Assuming DNS or the hosts file is setup correctly to point to the IP of the nginx-proxy instance). This is similar to [this deployment](../docker-compose-http-proxy.yaml).
-
-## Advanced Deployment, with reverse proxy, accessed as https://localhost
-
-The reverse proxy (`jwilder/nginx-proxy`) can be configured to provide SSL termination using self-signed certificates, letsencrypt or CA signed certificates (see: https://hub.docker.com/r/jwilder/nginx-proxy or [LetsEncrypt Example](https://www.singularaspect.com/use-nginx-proxy-and-letsencrypt-companion-to-host-multiple-websites/) ). In this case the FRONTEND_HOST should be set to https://mediacms.io. This is similar to [this deployment](../docker-compose-http-proxy.yaml).
-
-## A Scaleable Deployment Architecture (Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes)
-
-The architecture below generalises all the deployment scenarios above, and provides a conceptual design for other deployments based on kubernetes and docker swarm. It allows for horizontal scaleability through the use of multiple mediacms_web instances and celery_workers. For large deployments, managed postgres, redis and storage may be adopted.

+# Developer Experience
+There is ongoing effort to provide a better developer experience and document it.
+
+## How to develop locally with Docker
+First install a recent version of [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/), and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
+
+Then run `docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml up`
+
+```
+user@user:~/mediacms$ docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml up
+```
+
+In a few minutes the app will be available at http://localhost . Login via admin/admin
+
+### What does docker-compose-dev.yaml do?
+It build the two images used for backend and frontend.
+
+* Backend: `mediacms/mediacms-dev:latest`
+* Frontend: `frontend`
+
+and will start all services required for MediaCMS, as Celery/Redis for asynchronous tasks, PostgreSQL database, Django and React
+
+For Django, the changes from the image produced by docker-compose.yaml are these:
+
+* Django runs in debug mode, with `python manage.py runserver`
+* uwsgi and nginx are not run
+* Django runs in Debug mode, with Debug Toolbar
+* Static files (js/css) are loaded from static/ folder
+* corsheaders is installed and configured to allow all origins
+
+For React, it will run `npm start` in the frontend folder, which will start the development server.
+Check it on http://localhost:8088/
+
+### How to develop in Django
+Django starts at http://localhost and is reloading automatically. Making any change to the python code should refresh Django.
+
+If Django breaks due to an error (eg SyntaxError, while editing the code), you might have to restart it
+
+```
+docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml restart web
+```
+
+
+
+### How to develop in React
+React is started on http://localhost:8088/ , code is located in frontend/ , so making changes there should have instant effect on the page. Keep in mind that React is loading data from Django, and that it has to be built so that Django can serve it.
+
+### Making changes to the frontend
+
+The way React is added is more complicated than the usual SPA project and this is because React is used as a library loaded by Django Templates, so it is not a standalone project and is not handling routes etc.
+
+The two directories to consider are:
+* frontend/src , for the React files
+* templates/, for the Django templates.
+
+Django is using a highly intuitive hierarchical templating system (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/templates/), where the base template is templates/root.html and all other templates are extending it.
+
+React is called through the Django templates, eg templates/cms/media.html is loading js/media.js
+
+In order to make changes to React code, edit code on frontend/src and check it's effect on http://localhost:8088/ . Once ready, build it and copy it to the Django static folder, so that it is served by Django.
+
+### Development workflow with the frontend
+1. Edit frontend/src/ files
+2. Check changes on http://localhost:8088/
+3. Build frontend with `docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml exec frontend npm run dist`
+4. Copy static files to Django static folder with`cp -r frontend/dist/static/* static/`
+5. Restart Django - `docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml restart web` so that it uses the new static files
+6. Commit the changes
+
+### Helper commands
+There is ongoing effort to provide helper commands, check the Makefile for what it supports. Eg
+
+Bash into the web container:
+
+```
+user@user:~/mediacms$ make admin-shell
+root@ca8c1096726b:/home/mediacms.io/mediacms# ./manage.py shell
+```
+
+Build the frontend:
+
+```
+user@user:~/mediacms$ make build-frontend
+docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml exec frontend npm run dist
+
+> mediacms-frontend@0.9.1 dist /home/mediacms.io/mediacms/frontend
+> mediacms-scripts rimraf ./dist && mediacms-scripts build --config=./config/mediacms.config.js --env=dist
+...

+## 1. Welcome
+This page is created for MediaCMS developers and contains related information.
+
+## 2. System architecture
+to be written
+
+## 3. API documentation
+API is documented using Swagger - checkout ot http://your_installation/swagger - example https://demo.mediacms.io/swagger/
+This page allows you to login to perform authenticated actions - it will also use your session if logged in.
+
+
+An example of working with Python requests library:
+
+```
+import requests
+
+auth = ('user' ,'password')
+upload_url = "https://domain/api/v1/media"
+title = 'x title'
+description = 'x description'
+media_file = '/tmp/file.mp4'
+
+requests.post(
+    url=upload_url,
+    files={'media_file': open(media_file,'rb')},
+    data={'title': title, 'description': description},
+    auth=auth
+)
+```
+
+## 4. How to contribute
+Before you send a PR, make sure your code is properly formatted. For that, use `pre-commit install` to install a pre-commit hook and run `pre-commit run --all` and fix everything before you commit. This pre-commit will check for your code lint everytime you commit a code.
+
+Checkout the [Code of conduct page](../CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) if you want to contribute to this repository
+
+
+## 5. Working with Docker tips
+
+To perform the Docker installation, follow instructions to install Docker + Docker compose (docs/Docker_Compose.md) and then build/start docker-compose-dev.yaml . This will run the frontend application on port 8088 on top of all other containers (including the Django web application on port 80)
+
+```
+docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml build
+docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml up
+```
+
+An `admin` user is created during the installation process. Its attributes are defined in `docker-compose-dev.yaml`:
+```
+ADMIN_USER: 'admin'
+ADMIN_PASSWORD: 'admin'
+ADMIN_EMAIL: 'admin@localhost'
+```
+
+### Frontend application changes
+Eg change `frontend/src/static/js/pages/HomePage.tsx` , dev application refreshes in a number of seconds (hot reloading) and I see the changes, once I'm happy I can run
+
+```
+docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml exec -T frontend npm run dist
+```
+
+And then in order for the changes to be visible on the application while served through nginx,
+
+```
+cp -r frontend/dist/static/* static/
+```
+
+POST calls: cannot be performed through the dev server, you have to make through the normal application (port 80) and then see changes on the dev application on port 8088.
+Make sure the urls are set on `frontend/.env` if different than localhost
+
+
+Media page: need to upload content through the main application (nginx/port 80), and then use an id for page media.html, for example `http://localhost:8088/media.html?m=nc9rotyWP`
+
+There are some issues with CORS too to resolve, in order for some pages to function, eg the manage comments page
+
+```
+http://localhost:8088/manage-media.html manage_media
+```
+
+### Backend application changes
+After I make changes to the django application (eg make a change on `files/forms.py`) in order to see the changes I have to restart the web container
+
+```
+docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yaml restart web
+```
+
+## How video is transcoded
+
+Original files get uploaded to the application server, and they get stored there as FileFields.
+
+If files are videos and the duration is greater than a number (defined on settings, I think 4minutes), they are also broken in chunks, so one Encode object per chunk, for all enabled EncodeProfiles.
+
+Then the workers start picking Encode objects and they transcode the chunks, so if a chunk gets transcoded correctly, the original file (the small chunk) gets replaced by the transcoded file, and the Encode object status is marked as 'success'.
+
+
+original.mp4 (1G, 720px)--> Encode1 (100MB, 240px, chunk=True), Encode2 (100MB, 240px, chunk=True)...EncodeXX (100MB, 720px, chunk=True) ---> when all Encode objects are success, for a resolution, they get concatenated to the original_resolution.mp4 file and this gets stored as Encode object (chunk=False). This is what is available for download.
+
+Apparently the Encode object is used to store Encoded files that are served eventually (chunk=False, status='success'), but also files while they are on their way to get transcoded (chunk=True, status='pending/etc')
+
+(Parenthesis opening)
+there is also an experimental small service (not commited to the repo currently) that speaks only through API and a) gets tasks to run, b) returns results. So it makes a request and receives an ffmpeg command, plus a file, it runs the ffmpeg command, and returns the result.I've used this mechanism on a number of installations to migrate existing videos through more servers/cpu and has worked with only one problem, some temporary files needed to be removed from the servers (through a periodic task, not so big problem)
+(Parenthesis closing)
+
+
+When the Encode object is marked as success and chunk=False, and thus is available for download/stream, there is a task that gets started and saves an HLS version of the file (1 mp4-->x number of small .ts chunks). This would be FILES_C
+
+This mechanism allows for workers that have access on the same filesystem (either localhost, or through a shared network filesystem, eg NFS/EFS) to work on the same time and produce results.
+
+## 6. Working with the automated tests
+
+This instructions assume that you're using the docker installation
+
+1. start docker-compose
+
+```
+docker compose up
+```
+
+2. Install the requirements on `requirements-dev.txt ` on web container (we'll use the web container for this)
+
+```
+docker compose exec -T web pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+```
+
+3. Now you can run the existing tests
+
+```
+docker compose exec --env TESTING=True -T web pytest
+```
+
+The `TESTING=True` is passed for Django to be aware this is a testing environment (so that it runs Celery tasks as functions for example and not as background tasks, since Celery is not started in the case of pytest)
+
+
+4. You may try a single test, by specifying the path, for example
+
+```
+docker compose exec --env TESTING=True -T web pytest tests/test_fixtures.py
+```
+
+5. You can also see the coverage
+
+```
+docker compose exec --env TESTING=True -T web pytest --cov=. --cov-report=html
+```
+
+and of course...you are very welcome to help us increase it ;)
