erdem VS abs_cd

Erdem (https://github.com/skytreader/erdem) is a small "media-center" webapp that I've been building. I'm also using this as an opportunity to learn React.

Over the years I've amassed a collection of video files with filenames similar but not exactly like, "Lionel Messi vs Miroslav Klose".

The actual data set is dirtier, can't be regexed, etc. A key property of my data set is that a name features in the filename of different files.

I made this to easily answer the question "Hey, I want to watch a video about Messi. I wonder what I have?"

So, being the computer scientist I am, I thought it'd be interesting to index the filenames. Hence, the indexer whose code I experiment with a lot; dirtier than usual, very "academic" style.

Then I realized all I need is a search function (which I have implemented already!). Life works. Maybe I'll keep with the indexer idea but just for something to play with.

P.S., I have words to say about React but this isn't the thread for it I guess. Been a frustrating experience so far. But well, that's why I used it in such a rough hack in the first place.

Get a CI to check if pkg build in clean environments. So many users will falsely report broken packages while they simply ran makepkg in their arch installation & the build system pulls crap from it into the build process & it fails despite your pkg being fine. It's a shame every AUR helper except aurutils still doesn't support building in clean chroots, but you can't change that. I build https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd for that, which end the end served a custom repo easing the installation for users, too. There are plenty alternatives to my SW out there, too.

You can find the CD status on https://abs-cd.oscloud.info/

This commit should also be a good example on how to configure crond to work well with logging in an Arch container.

A CI/CD with webinterface for Archlinux packages which optional AUR push support if builds succeed. It's based on Django and works with Docker/Podman. I originally made it for my own AUR packages (> 300), I needed accessible build logs if I want to collab, which the common builders didn't provide. I made the project public and it's crazy for me as an open source beginner to see how many people like this. The basic features are complete, but things like multiarch are getting add soon.

It now has podman compatibility as as a PR: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd/pull/8

It now should have podman compatibility, would be nice if you test it: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd/pull/8

If it really takes that long (and you maybe have more than one device or your friends use the same packages) and you can't find a user already packaging it in their private repo you could host an own repo in you local network. I created a CI/CD software for Arch packages which makes this easier: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd
