Technical Decisions

Why FastAPI?

✅ Native Python - integrates directly with existing code ✅ Automatic API documentation (Swagger UI) ✅ Built-in WebSocket support ✅ Type safety with Pydantic ✅ High performance (async/await)

Why React + Vite?

✅ Modern development experience ✅ Fast hot module reloading ✅ TypeScript support out of the box ✅ Large ecosystem of libraries ✅ Component-based architecture

Why Not Node.js Backend?

❌ Would require rewriting scraping logic ❌ Two languages to maintain ❌ Serialization overhead for IPC ❌ Harder to debug

Why Tailwind CSS?

✅ Rapid UI development ✅ Consistent design system ✅ Small production bundle ✅ Responsive by default ✅ Dark mode support built-in

Production Deployment

Option 1: Systemd Service

sudo systemctl enable media-downloader-api
sudo systemctl start media-downloader-api

Option 2: Nginx Reverse Proxy

location /api {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
}
location /ws {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
}

Option 3: Build Production Frontend

cd /opt/media-downloader/web/frontend
npm run build
# Serve from nginx or FastAPI static files

Security Considerations

⚠️ Current Status: NO AUTHENTICATION

The web interface currently has no authentication. It's designed for:

  • Local development
  • Internal network use
  • Behind VPN (Tailscale recommended)
  • Localhost only access

Recommended Security Measures

  1. Use Tailscale VPN

    • Access via: http://machine-name.tailscale-machine.ts.net:5173
    • Built-in authentication
    • Encrypted traffic

  2. Nginx with Basic Auth

    auth_basic "Media Downloader";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;

  3. Firewall Rules

    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 8000
sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 5173

  4. Future: Add JWT Authentication

    • User login
    • Session management
    • Role-based access control

Next Steps

Immediate

  1. Test the interface - Run ./start.sh and explore
  2. Trigger a manual download - Use Platforms page
  3. Watch logs in real-time - Monitor progress
  4. Edit configuration - Try changing settings

Future Enhancements

  1. Authentication - Add JWT/session auth
  2. User accounts - Multi-user support
  3. Scheduler control - Start/stop/configure scheduler
  4. Health monitoring - Service health dashboard
  5. Analytics - Advanced statistics and charts
  6. File browser - Preview downloaded media
  7. Search - Full-text search across downloads
  8. Notifications - Browser push notifications
  9. Mobile app - React Native version
  10. API keys - For external integrations
