Hand cron over from youtube-automate, and script the rest
Cron now calls `ytstream run` hourly and ytstream's update-ytdlp.sh weekly. Both inherit youtube-automate's healthchecks UUIDs and keep its schedules unchanged: a check may be configured with a cron expression rather than a simple period, so moving to the :23/04:50 slots the fragment proposed could have alerted on a job that ran fine. Inheriting also means the placeholder UUIDs never needed filling in. The old service turned out to track only 2 channels, and one of them -- The Pyramid Podcast -- was sitting unresolved in ytstream's approval queue. Decommissioning without checking would have silently dropped half of what the old service existed to follow. Approved and backfilled. decommission.sh does the two steps needing root (nginx repoint, disable the unit) and refuses until an admin password is set, because the UI fails closed and the hostname would otherwise serve a login nobody can pass. Deleting the 2.0 GB of old downloads and touching the Jellyfin libraries are left out on purpose. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## 20. Decommissioning, done and outstanding — 2026-08-13
|
||||
|
||||
Started the same day the TTFB bug (§19) was fixed, which is earlier than §12 step 2
|
||||
intended: that step says run both for a week, precisely so a bug like §19 surfaces
|
||||
while the old service is still there to fall back on. Everything below is therefore
|
||||
reversible, and the two irreversible steps are deliberately left undone.
|
||||
|
||||
### The old service was smaller than assumed
|
||||
|
||||
It tracked **2 channels** (Pitch Side, The Pyramid Podcast), 32 video rows, 9 files
|
||||
on disk, 2.0 GB — not the 5–10 GB §12 step 6 estimated. All 32 fall inside
|
||||
ytstream's 30-day window, so nothing in the old library is content ytstream cannot
|
||||
reach.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pitch Side was already mirrored; The Pyramid Podcast was not** — it sat unresolved
|
||||
in the approval queue, so decommissioning without checking would have silently
|
||||
dropped one of the two channels the old service existed to follow. Approved, and it
|
||||
backfilled 4 episodes. 11 channels now.
|
||||
|
||||
### Done
|
||||
|
||||
| step | what |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| §12.1 | Cron handed over: `youtube-automate run` → `ytstream run`, and `update-ytdlp.sh` repointed |
|
||||
| §12.7 | `subs.db` copied to `/var/lib/ytstream/youtube-automate-subs.db.archived-20260813` |
|
||||
| — | The Pyramid Podcast carried over |
|
||||
|
||||
**The two healthchecks UUIDs are inherited, not new,** and the schedules are
|
||||
unchanged (`:17` hourly, Mondays `04:40`). A check may be configured with a cron
|
||||
expression rather than a simple period, so moving to the `:23`/`04:50` slots the old
|
||||
fragment proposed could have alerted on a job that ran fine. This also means no new
|
||||
UUIDs were needed — the placeholder problem from §18 is gone. The checks are still
|
||||
*named* after youtube-automate in the hc UI; renaming them there changes nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
First real proof of the rolling window, from that first run: **5 videos uploaded
|
||||
2026-07-13 aged out** at 31 days, with 7 new ones discovered and materialised, in
|
||||
7.5 s.
|
||||
|
||||
### Left for a human
|
||||
|
||||
`deploy/decommission.sh` does §12 steps 4 and 5 (nginx repoint to 8086, disable the
|
||||
service) and **refuses to run until an admin password is set** — repointing a public
|
||||
hostname at a UI that fails closed, as this one does with no password, produces a
|
||||
site nobody can log into and an evening spent working out why.
|
||||
|
||||
Not scripted, because each destroys something:
|
||||
|
||||
* **`ytstream set-password`** — interactive, and blocks the above.
|
||||
* **Jellyfin** (§12.3): remove *YouTube*, rename *YouTube (stream)* → *YouTube*.
|
||||
Nothing in the code matches on the library *name* — `find_library()` matches on
|
||||
path and `LIBRARY_NAME` is only `create_library`'s default — so the rename is safe
|
||||
and the constant can stay as it is.
|
||||
* **`/disks/Plex/YouTube`** (§12.6), 2.0 GB.
|
||||
* **`/opt/youtube-automate`, its repo, `subs.db`, `specs.md`** — keep (§12.7).
