<span id="tube-archivist"></span><span id="tubearchivist-engine"></span><h1>Tube Archivist<a class="headerlink" href="#module-searx.engines.tubearchivist" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h1>
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://www.tubearchivist.com">Tube Archivist</a> - <em>Your self hosted YouTube media server.</em></p>
<p>This engine connects with a self-hosted instance of <a class="reference external" href="https://www.tubearchivist.com">Tube Archivist</a> to allow
searching for your hosted videos.</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://www.tubearchivist.com">Tube Archivist</a> (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).</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This is located in the main tubearchivist docker container at:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">etc</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">nginx</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">sites</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">available</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">default</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>It is <strong>strongly</strong> 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.</p>
<p>Steps to enable <strong>unauthenticated</strong> metadata access for channels and videos:</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p>Perform any backups of TA before editing core configurations.</p></li>
<li><p>Copy the contents of the file <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/etc/nginx/sites-available/default</span></code> in the
TA docker container</p></li>
<li><p>Edit <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">location</span> <span class="pre">/cache/videos</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">location</span> <span class="pre">/cache/channels</span></code>.  Comment
out the line <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">auth_request</span> <span class="pre">/api/ping/;</span></code> to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">#</span> <span class="pre">auth_request</span> <span class="pre">/api/ping/;</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Save the file to wherever you normally store your docker configuration.</p></li>
<li><p>Mount this new configuration over the default configuration.  With <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">docker</span>
<span class="pre">run</span></code>, this would be:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">v</span> <span class="o">./</span><span class="n">your</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">new</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">config</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">yml</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">etc</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">nginx</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">sites</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">available</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">default</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>With <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">docker</span> <span class="pre">compose</span></code>, this would be:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">-</span> <span class="s2">&quot;./your-new-config.yml:/etc/nginx/sites-available/default:ro&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><p>Start the TA container.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>After these steps, double check that TA works as normal (nothing should be
different on the TA side).  Searching again should now show images.</p>
