## About

**TVApp2** is a docker image which allows you to download M3U playlist and EPG guide data which can be plugged into your IPTV applications such as Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby. It is a revision of the original app by dtankdempse which is no longer available. This app fetches data for:

- TheTvApp
- TVPass
- MoveOnJoy
- <sub>More coming soon</sub>

<br />

This project contains several repositories which all share the same code; use them as backups:

- [🔀 dockerhub:thebinaryninja/tvapp2](https://hub.docker.com/r/thebinaryninja/tvapp2)
- [🔀 github:thebinaryninja/tvapp2](https://github.com/thebinaryninja/tvapp2)
- [🔀 gitea:git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2](https://git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2)

<br />
<br />

### Quick Install

To install TVApp2 in docker; you will need to use either the `🗔 docker run` command, or create a `📄 docker-compose.yml` file which contains information about how to pull and start up.

<br />

Type out your `🗔 docker run` command, or prepare a `📄 docker-compose.yml` script. Examples are provided below. We have also provided charts with a list of the registries you can pull the image from, and a list of all the available environment variables you can use. 

<br />

Pick one registry URL from the list [Registry URLs](#registry-urls) and put it in your `🗔 docker run` command, or in your `📄 docker-compose.yml`.

For the [environment variables](#environment-variables), you may specify these in your `🗔 docker run` command or `📄 docker-compose.yml` file. See the examples below.

<br />

| Container Path | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `📁 /usr/bin/app` | <sub>Path where TVApp2 files will be placed once the app has been built. Includes `📄 formatted.dat`, `📄 xmltv.1.xml`, `📄 urls.txt`, `📁 node_modules`, and `📄 package.json`</sub> |
| `📁 /config` | <sub>Where logs will be placed, as well as the web server generated SSH key and cert `🔑 cert.key` and `🪪 cert.crt`</sub> |

<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />

### Start Container

These are quick instructions on how to start the TVApp2 docker container once you have finished the section [Quick Install](#quick-install).

<br />

#### Docker Run

If you want to bring the container up using `🗔 docker run`; execute the following:

```shell
docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped \
  --name tvapp2 \
  -p 4124:4124 \
  -e "DIR_RUN=/usr/bin/app" \
  -e "TZ=Etc/UTC" \
  -v ${PWD}/app:/usr/bin/app ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest
```

<br />
<br />

#### Docker Compose

If you want to use a `📄 docker-compose.yml` to bring TVApp2 up; you may use the following example:

```yml
services:
    tvapp2:
        container_name: tvapp2
        image: ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest                 # Image: Github
      # image: thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest                         # Image: Dockerhub
      # image: git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2:latest        # Image: Gitea
        restart: unless-stopped
        volumes:
            - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
            - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
            - ./config:/config
            - ./app:/usr/bin/app
        environment:
            - TZ=Etc/UTC
            - WEB_IP=0.0.0.0
            - WEB_PORT=4124
            - DIR_RUN=/usr/bin/app
            - DIR_RUN=/usr/bin/app
            - STREAM_QUALITY=hd
            - FILE_M3U=playlist.m3u8
            - FILE_EPG=xmltv.xml
            - LOG_LEVEL=4
```

<br />

Once you bring the docker container up; open your web-browser and access the container's webserver by going to:

```console
http://container-ip:4124
```

<br />

Copy both the M3U playlist URL and the EPG guide URL, and paste it in your favorite IPTV application; Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, etc.

<br />

If you need more extensive instructions on installing and using this container, read the section:

- [Using TVApp2 Image](#using-tvapp-image)

<br />
<br />

### How It Works

<br />

- TVApp2 makes fetch request to [tvapp2-externals](https://git.binaryninja.net/BinaryNinja/tvapp2-externals 'tvapp2-externals') making updates to external formats agnostic to pushing a new container image.
- TVApp2 makes fetch request to [XMLTV-EPG](https://git.binaryninja.net/BinaryNinja/XMLTV-EPG 'XMLTV-EPG') making updates to EPG data based on customized channel ids. Channel ids are specific to each EPG record which makes obfuscating channel ids difficult.

<br />

```mermaid
graph TD
A[tvapp2] <--> |Fetch Formats| B(tvapp2-externals)
A[tvapp2] <--> |Fetch XMLTV/EPG| C(XMLTV-EPG)
B(tvapp2-externals) --> D{Pull Dynamic Formats}
C(XMLTV-EPG) ---> E{Pull Dynamic EPG}
```

## Building `TVApp2` Image

These instructions outline how the TVApp2 docker image is set up, and how to build your own TVApp2 docker image.

<br />

### How It Works

The TVApp2 application requires one dependency docker image, which is utilized as the base image and contains Alpine linux. You may use the pre-compiled docker image provided by us on Github, or you may choose to build your own. The base alpine image is available at:

- https://github.com/Aetherinox/docker-base-alpine

<br />

This base Alpine image contains [📦 s6-overlay](https://github.com/just-containers/s6-overlay) and comes with several features such as plugins, service management, migration tools, etc.

<br />

The process of building both images are outlined below. But please remember that you do not need to build the base Alpine image; we already provide it at: https://github.com/Aetherinox/docker-base-alpine/pkgs/container/alpine-base

<br />

This repository offers two types of docker image; `stable` and `development`. You may create both or just one. We also offer two different architectures which are `amd64` and `arm64`. These architectures are tied to the same release.

<br />

### Before Building

Prior to building the  docker image, you **must** ensure the sections below are completed.

- [LF over CRLF](#lf-over-crlf)
- [Set +x / 0755 Permissions](#set-x--0755-permissions)

<br />

If the listed tasks above are not performed, your docker container will throw the following errors when started:

- `Failed to open apk database: Permission denied`
- `s6-rc: warning: unable to start service init-adduser: command exited 127`
- `unable to exec /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-envfile/run: Permission denied`
- `/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-adduser/run: line 34: aetherxown: command not found`
- `/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-adduser/run: /usr/bin/aetherxown: cannot execute: required file not found`

<br />
<br />

#### LF over CRLF

You cannot utilize Windows' `Carriage Return Line Feed`. All files must be converted to Unix' `Line Feed`.  This can be done with **[Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)**. OR; you can run the Linux terminal command `🗔 dos2unix` to convert these files.

For the branches **[docker/alpine-base](https://github.com/Aetherinox/docker-base-alpine/tree/docker/alpine-base)** and your main app image, you can use the following recursive commands:

<br />

> [!CAUTION]
> Be careful using the command to change **ALL** files. You should **NOT** change the files in your `📁 .git` folder, otherwise you will corrupt your git indexes.
>
> If you accidentally run `🗔 dos2unix` on your `📁 .git` folder, do NOT push anything to git. Pull a new copy from the repo or reset your local files back to the remote:
> 
> ```shell
> git reset --hard origin/main
> ```

<br />

```shell
# Change ALL files
find ./ -type f | grep -Ev 'docs|node_modules|.git|*.jpg|*.jpeg|*.png' | xargs dos2unix --

# Change run / binaries
find ./ -type f -name 'run' -print | xargs dos2unix --
```

<br />

For the branch **[docker/core](https://github.com/Aetherinox/docker-base-alpine/tree/docker/core)**, you can use the following commands:

```shell
dos2unix docker-images.v3
dos2unix aetherxown.v1
dos2unix package-install.v1
dos2unix with-contenv.v1
```

<br />

If you do not have dos2unix; you may use `sed:

```shell
sed -i 's/\r$//' /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/ci-service-check/file
```

<br />

You may pre-check if a file is using Windows CRLF or Linux LF by running the command `file <filename>` on the file:

```shell
$ file ./root//etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/ci-service-check/type
./root//etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/ci-service-check/type: ASCII text
```

<br />

You will get one of three messages listed below:

1. ASCII text, with CRLF, LF line terminators
2. ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
3. ASCII text

<br />

If you get messages `1` or `2`, then you need to run `dos2unix` on the file; otherwise when you bring the container up, you will get errors.

<br />
<br />

#### Set `+x / 0755` Permissions

The files contained within this repo **MUST** have `chmod 755` /  `+x` executable permissions. If you are using our Github workflow sample **[deploy-docker-github.yml](https://github.com/Aetherinox/docker-base-alpine/blob/workflows/samples/deploy-docker-github.yml)**, this is done automatically. If you are building the images manually; you need to do this. Ensure those files have the correct permissions prior to building the Alpine base docker image.

If you are building the **[docker/alpine-base](https://github.com/Aetherinox/docker-base-alpine/tree/docker/alpine-base)** or your main application images, you must ensure the files in those branches have the proper permissions. All of the executable files are named `run`:

```shell
find ./ -name 'run' -print -exec sudo chmod +x {} \;
```

<br />

<sub><sup>Optional - </sup></sub> If you want to set the permissions manually, run the following below. If you executed the `find` command above, you don't need to run the list of commands below:

```shell
sudo chmod +x ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-adduser/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-crontab-config/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-custom-files/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-envfile/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-folders/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-keygen/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-migrations/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-permissions/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-samples/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-version-checks/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/svc-cron/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/svc-php-fpm/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/svc-nginx/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-php/run \
  ./root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-nginx/run
```

<br />

For the branch **[docker/core](https://github.com/Aetherinox/docker-base-alpine/tree/docker/core)**, there are a few files to change. The ending version number may change, but the commands to change the permissions are as follows:

```shell
sudo chmod +x docker-images.v3 \
  chmod +x aetherxown.v1 \
  chmod +x package-install.v1 \
  chmod +x with-contenv.v1
```

<br />
<br />

### Build Images

After completing the steps above; we will now build the [🔆 gitea:binaryninja/tvapp2](https://git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2) image.

<br />

Open the `📄 Dockerfile` and ensure you are pulling the correct Alpine base image. This code is located near the top of the `📄 Dockerfile`:

```dockerfile
ARG ARCH=amd64
FROM --platform=linux/${ARCH} ghcr.io/aetherinox/alpine-base:3.22
```

<br />

> [!NOTE]
> The `ARCH` argument supports two options; which you will specify by using the argument `--build-arg ARCH=amd64` in your buildx command:
> 
> - `amd64`
> - `arm64`

<br />

Next, select which type of image you want to build below.

- [Build Single Architecture](#build-single-architecture)
- [Build All Architectures & Manifest](#build-all-architectures--manifest)

<br />
<br />

#### Build Single Architecture

All of the needed Docker files already exist in the repository. To get started, clone the repo to a folder

```shell
mkdir tvapp2 && cd tvapp2

# to clone from our gitea website
git clone https://git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2.git ./

# to clone from our github website
git clone https://github.com/thebinaryninja/tvapp2.git ./
```

<br />

If you do not need to build both `amd64` and `arm64`, you can simply build one architecture. First, create a new buildx container:

```shell
docker buildx create --driver docker-container --name container --bootstrap --use
```

<br />

<sub><sup>Optional - </sup></sub> If you first need to remove the provider container because you created it previously, run the command:

```shell
docker buildx rm container
docker buildx create --driver docker-container --name container --bootstrap --use
```

<br />

To list all buildx build containers, run:

```shell
docker buildx ls
```

<br />

Before you can push the image, ensure you are signed into Docker CLI. Open your Linux terminal and see if you are already signed in:

```shell
docker info | grep Username
```

<br />

If nothing is printed; then you are not signed in. Initiate the web login:

```shell
docker login
```

<br />

Some text will appear on-screen, copy the code, open your browser, and go to https://login.docker.com/activate

```console
USING WEB BASED LOGIN
To sign in with credentials on the command line, use 'docker login -u <username>'

Your one-time device confirmation code is: XXXX-XXXX
Press ENTER to open your browser or submit your device code here: https://login.docker.com/activate

Waiting for authentication in the browser…
```

<br />

Once finished in your browser, return to your Linux terminal, and it should bring you back to where you can type a command. You can now verify again if you are signed in:

```shell
docker info | grep Username
```

<br />

You should see your name:

```console
 Username: thebinaryninja
```

<br />

You are ready to build the TVApp2 docker image, run the command for your platform:

<br />

##### amd64

Creates the TVApp2 `amd64` docker image:

```shell
# Build tvapp2 amd64
docker buildx build \
  --build-arg ARCH=amd64 \
  --build-arg VERSION=1.5.4 \
  --build-arg BUILDDATE=20260812 \
  --build-arg RELEASE=stable \
  --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.22 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest \
  --attest type=provenance,disabled=true \
  --attest type=sbom,disabled=true \
  --output type=docker \
  --builder default \
  --file Dockerfile \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  --allow network.host \
  --network host \
  --no-cache \
  --push \
  .
```

<br />

##### arm64

Creates the TVApp2 `arm64` docker image:

```shell
# Build tvapp2 arm64
docker buildx build \
  --build-arg ARCH=arm64 \
  --build-arg VERSION=1.5.4 \
  --build-arg BUILDDATE=20260812 \
  --build-arg RELEASE=stable \
  --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.22 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest \
  --attest type=provenance,disabled=true \
  --attest type=sbom,disabled=true \
  --output type=docker \
  --builder default \
  --file Dockerfile \
  --platform linux/arm64 \
  --allow network.host \
  --network host \
  --no-cache \
  --push \
  .
```

<br />

> [!NOTE]
> If you want to only build the TVApp2 docker image locally; remove `--push`.

<br />

After building the image, you can now use the image either with `🗔 docker run` or a `📄 docker-compose.yml` file. These instructions are available by skipping down to the sections:

- [🗔 Docker Run](#docker-run-1)
- [📄 Docker Compose](#docker-compose-1)

<br />
<br />

#### Build All Architectures & Manifest

These instructions tell you how to build the `stable` and `development` releases for both the `amd64` and `arm64` architectures. Then you will combine all manifests into one release.

All of the needed Docker files already exist in the repository. To get started, clone the repo to a folder

```shell
mkdir tvapp2 && cd tvapp2

# to clone from our gitea website
git clone https://git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2.git ./

# to clone from our github website
git clone https://github.com/thebinaryninja/tvapp2.git ./
```

<br />

First, create a new buildx container:

```shell
docker buildx create --driver docker-container --name container --bootstrap --use
```

<br />

<sub><sup>Optional - </sup></sub> If you first need to remove the container because you created it previously, run the command:

```shell
docker buildx rm container
docker buildx create --driver docker-container --name container --bootstrap --use
```

<br />

To list all buildx build containers, run:

```shell
docker buildx ls
```

<br />

Before you can push the image, ensure you are signed into Docker CLI. Open your Linux terminal and see if you are already signed in:

```shell
docker info | grep Username
```

<br />

If nothing is printed; then you are not signed in. Initiate the web login:

```shell
docker login
```

<br />

Some text will appear on-screen, copy the code, open your browser, and go to https://login.docker.com/activate

```console
USING WEB BASED LOGIN
To sign in with credentials on the command line, use 'docker login -u <username>'

Your one-time device confirmation code is: XXXX-XXXX
Press ENTER to open your browser or submit your device code here: https://login.docker.com/activate

Waiting for authentication in the browser…
```

<br />

Once you are finished in your browser, you can return to your Linux terminal, and it should bring you back to where you can type a command. You can now verify again if you are signed in:

```shell
docker info | grep Username
```

<br />

You should see your name:

```console
 Username: thebinaryninja
```

<br />

Next, in order to build the `amd64` and `arm64` images on the same machine; you must install **QEMU** which is an emulator. Open your terminal and run the following command:

```shell
docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all
```

<br />

If you are building these docker images using Github workflow, you will also need to use `QEMU` with the following action:

```yml
            - name: '⚙️ Set up QEMU'
              id: task_release_gh_qemu
              uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v3
```

<br />

Once the emulator is installed; we will now build two images. When building these two images; we will ensure the `--tag` value is different for each one, by adding the architecture to the end. This ensures we don't overwrite one image with the newer one. We need to have two seperate docker images with two different tags.

- `--tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64`
- `--tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64`

<br />

> [!NOTE]
> The build commands below will push the docker image to Github's GHCR registry. If you wish to use another registry, edit the **--tag**:
>
> The `--tag <registry>` argument is what determines what registry your image will be pushed to. You can change this to any registry:
> 
> | Registry | Tag |
> | --- | --- |
> | Dockerhub | `--tag thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64`<br>`--tag thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64` |
> | Github (GHCR) | `--tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64`<br>`--tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64` |
> | Registry v2 | `--tag registry.domain.lan/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64`<br>`--tag registry.domain.lan/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64` |
> | Gitea | `--tag git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64`<br>`--tag git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64` |

<br />

After we build these two images and push them to a registry online; merge them into a single docker image which contains both arcitectures.

<br />

> [!WARNING]
> In order to merge the two architecture images into one; you **MUST** `--push` each of the two docker images to a registry first. You cannot modify the manifests locally.

<br />

##### Stable - amd64

Creates the TVApp2 **Stable** release `amd64` docker image:

```shell
# Build Tvapp2 amd64 - (stable release)
docker buildx build \
  --build-arg ARCH=amd64 \
  --build-arg VERSION=1.5.4 \
  --build-arg BUILDDATE=20260812 \
  --build-arg RELEASE=stable \
  --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.22 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64 \
  --attest type=provenance,disabled=true \
  --attest type=sbom,disabled=true \
  --output type=docker \
  --builder default \
  --file Dockerfile \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  --allow network.host \
  --network host \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  --push \
  .
```

<br />

##### Stable - arm64

Creates the TVApp2 **Stable** release `arm64` docker image:

```shell
# Build Tvapp2 arm64 - (stable release)
docker buildx build \
  --build-arg ARCH=arm64 \
  --build-arg VERSION=1.5.4 \
  --build-arg BUILDDATE=20260812 \
  --build-arg RELEASE=stable \
  --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.22 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64 \
  --attest type=provenance,disabled=true \
  --attest type=sbom,disabled=true \
  --output type=docker \
  --builder default \
  --file Dockerfile \
  --platform linux/arm64 \
  --allow network.host \
  --network host \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  --push \
  .
```

<br />

##### Development - amd64

Creates the TVApp2 **Development** release `amd64` docker image:

```shell
# Build Tvapp2 amd64 - (development release)
docker buildx build \
  --build-arg ARCH=amd64 \
  --build-arg VERSION=1.5.4 \
  --build-arg BUILDDATE=20260812 \
  --build-arg RELEASE=development \
  --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.22 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development-amd64 \
  --attest type=provenance,disabled=true \
  --attest type=sbom,disabled=true \
  --output type=docker \
  --builder default \
  --file Dockerfile \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  --allow network.host \
  --network host \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  --push \
  .
```

<br />

##### Development - arm64

Creates the TVApp2 **Development** release `arm64` docker image:

```shell
# Build Tvapp2 arm64 - (development release)
docker buildx build \
  --build-arg ARCH=arm64 \
  --build-arg VERSION=1.5.4 \
  --build-arg BUILDDATE=20260812 \
  --build-arg RELEASE=development \
  --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.22 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development-arm64 \
  --attest type=provenance,disabled=true \
  --attest type=sbom,disabled=true \
  --output type=docker \
  --builder default \
  --file Dockerfile \
  --platform linux/arm64 \
  --allow network.host \
  --network host \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  --push \
  .
```

<br />

After completing the `docker buildx` commands above; you should now have a few new images. Each image should have its own separate docker tags which do not conflict. If you decided to not build the **development** releases below; that is fine.

- `--tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64`
- `--tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64`
- `--tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development-amd64`
- `--tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development-arm64`

<br />

Next, we need to take these two images, and merge them into one so that both architectures are available without having to push separate images. You need to obtain the SHA256 hash digest for the `amd64` and `arm64` images. You can go to the registry where you uploaded the images and then copy them. Or you can run the commands specified below depending on which release type you want:

<br />
<br />

**Stable Release**

If you are building the **stable release** images; you should see the following:

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 70%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/core/01.png"><br><sub><sup><b>Registry v2:</b> Newly created <code>amd64</code> and <code>arm64</code> images</sup></sub></p>

<br />

You can also get the hash digests by running the commands:

<br />

```shell
$ docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64

Name:      ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64
MediaType: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json

$ docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64

Name:      ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64
MediaType: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json
Digest:    sha256:e68b9de8669eac64d4e4d2a8343c56705e05e9a907cf0b542343f9b536d9c473
```

<br />
<br />

**Development Release**

If you are building the **development release** images; you should see the following:

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 70%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/core/04.png"><br><sub><sup><b>Registry v2:</b> Newly created <code>development-amd64</code> and <code>development-arm64</code> images</sup></sub></p>

<br />

You can also get the hash digests by running the commands:

<br />

```shell
$ docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development-amd64

Name:      ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development-amd64
MediaType: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json

$ docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development-arm64

Name:      ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development-arm64
MediaType: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json

```

<br />
<br />

> [!WARNING]
> **Wrong Digest Hashes**
> 
> Be warned that when you push docker images to your docker registry; the `SHA256` hash digest will be different than what you have locally. If you use the following command; these digests will be **incorrect**:

> - `docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development-arm64`
> 

<br />
<br />

Once you have the correct `SHA256` hash digests; paste them into the command below. This command is where you can specify the real `--tag` that the public image will have. The previous tags were simply placeholders and no longer matter.

<br />

For the **stable** releases, use:

```shell
# #
#    Image > Stable
# #

docker buildx imagetools create \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1 \
  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest \
  sha256:0abe1b1c119959b3b1ccc23c56a7ee2c4c908c6aaef290d4ab2993859d807a3b \
  sha256:e68b9de8669eac64d4e4d2a8343c56705e05e9a907cf0b542343f9b536d9c473

```

<br />

For the **development** releases, use:

```shell
# #

  --tag ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:development \
  sha256:8f36385a28c8f6eb7394d903c9a7a2765b06f94266b32628389ee9e3e3d7e69d \

```

<br />

> [!NOTE]
> Compared to the **stable** release which has 4 tags; the **development** release only has one tag.

<br />

Alternatively, you could use the `🗔 manifest create` command; as an example, you can merge multiple architecture images together into a single image. The top line with `🔖 thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest` can be any name. However, all images after `--amend` MUST be already existing images uploaded to the registry.

```shell
docker manifest create ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest \
    --amend ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest-amd64 \
    --amend ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest-arm32v7 \
    --amend ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest-arm64v8

docker manifest push ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest
```

<br />

In this example, we take the existing two files we created earlier, and merge them into one. You can either specify the image by `SHA256 digest`, or tag:

```shell
# Example 1 (using tag)
docker manifest create ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest \
    --amend ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-amd64 \
    --amend ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:1.5.4-arm64

# Example 2 (using sha256 hash)
docker manifest create ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest \
    --amend ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2@sha256:0abe1b1c119959b3b1ccc23c56a7ee2c4c908c6aaef290d4ab2993859d807a3b \
    --amend ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2@sha256:e68b9de8669eac64d4e4d2a8343c56705e05e9a907cf0b542343f9b536d9c473

# Push manifest changes to registry
docker manifest push ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest
```

<br />

If you go back to your registry; you should now see multiple new entries, all with different tags. Two of the images are your old `amd64` and `arm64` images, and then you should have your official one with the four tags specified above. You can delete the two original images if you do not want them.

<p align="center"><img style="width: 70%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/core/02.png"><br><sub><sup><b>Registry v2:</b> Existing <code>amd64</code> and <code>arm64</code> images combined into a single docker image with multiple architectures.</sup></sub></p>

<br />
<br />

If you are pushing to Github's GHCR; the interface will look different, as Github merges all tags into a single listing, instead of Registry v2 listing each tag on its own:

<p align="center"><img style="width: 70%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/core/03.png"><br><sub><sup><b>Github GHCR:</b> Existing <code>amd64</code> and <code>arm64</code> images combined into a single docker image with multiple architectures.</sup></sub></p>

<br />
<br />

#### Build Using `package.json`

This node project includes build commands. In order to use them you must install node on your machine.

```shell
sudo apt-get install node
```

<br />

To build the project, `🗔 cd` into the project folder and run the build command:

```shell
cd /home/docker/tvapp2/
npm run docker:build:amd64 --VERSION=1.5.4 --BUILDDATE=20260812
```

<br />

##### Platform Commands

The following is a list of the available commands you can pick from depending on how you would like to build TvApp2:

| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `docker:build:amd64` | Build image using `docker build` for `amd64` |
| `docker:build:arm64` | Build image using `docker build` for `arm64 / aarch64` |
| `docker:buildx:amd64` | Build image using `docker buildx` for `amd64` |

<br />

##### Available Variables

The run command above has several variables you must specify:

| Variable | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--VERSION=1.X.X` | The version to assign to the docker image |
| `--BUILDDATE=20260812` | The date to assign to the docker image. <br /> Date format: `YYYYMMDD` |
| `--ARCH=amd64` | Architecture for image<br /> <sub><sup>Options:</sup></sub> `amd64`, `arm64` |

<br />

---

<br />

## Using `tvapp` Image

To use the new TVApp2 image, you can either call it with the `🗔 docker run` command, or create a new `📄 docker-compose.yml` and specify the image:

<br />

### Docker Run

If you want to use the tvapp docker image in the `🗔 docker run` command, execute the following:

```shell
docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped \
  --name tvapp2 \
  -p 4124:4124 \
  -e "DIR_RUN=/usr/bin/app" \
  -e "TZ=Etc/UTC" \
  -v ${PWD}/app:/usr/bin/app ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest
```

<br />

### Docker Compose

If you'd much rather use a `📄 docker-compose.yml` file and call the tvapp image that way, create a new folder somewhere:

```shell
mkdir -p /home/docker/tvapp2
```

<br />

Then create a new `📄 docker-compose.yml`:

```shell
sudo nano /home/docker/tvapp2/docker-compose.yml
```

<br />

Add the following to your `📄 docker-compose.yml`:

```yml
services:
    tvapp2:
        container_name: tvapp2
        image: ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest                 # Image: Github
      # image: thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest                         # Image: Dockerhub
      # image: git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2:latest        # Image: Gitea
        hostname: tvapp2
        restart: unless-stopped
        volumes:
            - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
            - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
            - ./config:/config
            - ./app:/usr/bin/app
        environment:
            - TZ=Etc/UTC
            - DIR_RUN=/usr/bin/app
```

<br />

Once the `📄 docker-compose.yml` is set up, you can now start your TVApp2 container:

```shell
cd /home/docker/tvapp2/
docker compose up -d
```

<br />

TVApp2 should now be running as a container. You can access it by opening your browser and going to:

```shell
http://container-ip:4124
```

<br />
<br />

### Environment Variables

<br />
<br />

### Mountable Volumes

These paths can be mounted and shared between the TVApp2 docker container and your host machine:

| Container Path | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `📁 /usr/bin/app` | <sub>Path where TVApp2 files will be placed once the app has been built. Includes `📄 formatted.dat`, `📄 xmltv.1.xml`, `📄 urls.txt`, `📁 node_modules`, and `📄 package.json`</sub> |
| `📁 /config` | <sub>Where logs will be placed, as well as the web server generated SSH key and cert `🔑 cert.key` and `🪪 cert.crt`</sub> |

<br />
<br />

### Docker health check

This image includes a docker health check that you can define in your `📄 docker-compose.yml` file. You can view the health check status by opening your browser and going to your TVApp2 container's `health` path:

```
http://container-ip:4124/api/health
```

<br />

You should see something similar to the following response:

```json
{
  "ip": "172.XX.XX.4",
  "gateway": "172.XX.XX.1",
  "uptime": 2703.316357306,
  "message": "Healthy",
  "timestamp": 1744152471451
}
```

<br />

To apply a health check, open your TVApp2 `docker-compose.yml` and add any of the following options:

```yml
# Example 1 (Using curl)
health check:
    test: "curl --fail --silent http://127.0.0.1:${JELLYFIN_SCRAPER_TVAPP2_PORT_MAIN:-4124}/api/health | grep -i healthy || exit 1"
    interval: 15s
    timeout: 10s
    retries: 3

# Example 1 (Using wget)
health check:
    test: "wget -qO- http://127.0.0.1:${JELLYFIN_SCRAPER_TVAPP2_PORT_MAIN:-4124}/api/health | grep -i healthy || exit 1"
    interval: 15s
    timeout: 10s
    retries: 3
```

<br />

### Logging

This docker container includes numerous log levels you can switch between in order to see exactly what the docker container is doing during operations.

Out-of-box, the default value is set to `4`:

```yml
        environment:
            - TZ=Etc/UTC
            - LOG_LEVEL=4
```

<br />

The default level of `info (4)` will give you all messages related to running your container. It should be enough for everyday users. This log level includes:

- All informative messages
- All errors
- All warnings
- All notices

<br />

However, this container supports three levels with high verbosity:
- **Trace**: 7
- **Verbose**: 6
- **Debug**: 5

<br />

#### Trace (7)

This **LOG_LEVEL** will output anything that you can see with **debug** `LOG_LEVEL=5`; but with the addition that each log output to your console will show a complete traceback of how the log was triggered.

<br />

> [!NOTE]
> Users should be cautioned that using `LOG_LEVEL=7` will generate a large amount of logs to your console, especially when you initiate watching an IPTV channel.

<br />

```shell
Trace:  tvapp2  → .gzp [requests] ⚙️ <msg> Requesting to create compressed gzip from uncompressed XML data <src> /usr/bin/app/www/xmltv.xml <dest> /usr/bin/app/www/xmltv.xml.gz
    at Log.debug (file:///usr/bin/app/index.js:182:21)
    at getGzip (file:///usr/bin/app/index.js:658:13)
    at initialize (file:///usr/bin/app/index.js:1840:15)
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5)
    at async file:///usr/bin/app/index.js:2288:5
```

<br />

#### Verbose (6)

This **LOG_LEVEL** will output anything that you can see with **debug** `LOG_LEVEL=5`; as well as even deeper logs; such as every environment variable your TVApp2 container has assigned. You should not need to use this log level unless you are troubleshooting an issue or if instructed to do so by the developers.

```shell
tvapp2  → .env [assigner] 📣 <name> npm_config_user_agent <value> npm/10.9.1 node/v22.13.1 linux x64 workspaces/false
tvapp2  → .env [assigner] 📣 <name> HOSTNAME <value> tvapp2
tvapp2  → .env [assigner] 📣 <name> SHLVL <value> 4
tvapp2  → .env [assigner] 📣 <name> HOME <value> /root
tvapp2  → .env [assigner] 📣 <name> OLDPWD <value> /run/s6/legacy-services/tvapp2
```

<br />

#### Debug (5)

This **LOG_LEVEL** will output many of the steps that this container takes to create new XML guide and M3U playlist files. It will also output the environment variables you have set associated with the docker image itself.

<br />

```shell
tvapp2  → .net [assigner] ⚙️ <name> IP_CONTAINER <value> 172.18.0.7
tvapp2  → .net [assigner] ⚙️ <name> IP_GATEWAY <value> 172.18.0.1
tvapp2  → .env [assigner] ⚙️ <name> RELEASE <value> stable
tvapp2  → .env [assigner] ⚙️ <name> WEB_IP <value> 0.0.0.0
tvapp2  → .env [assigner] ⚙️ <name> WEB_PORT <value> 4124
tvapp2  → .env [assigner] ⚙️ <name> WEB_FOLDER <value> www
tvapp2  → file [requests] ⚙️ <msg> Requesting to download external file <src> https://git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja//XMLTV-EPG/raw/branch/main/xmltv.1.xml <dest> /usr/bin/app/www/xmltv.xml
```

<br />

## Traefik Integration

> [!NOTE]
> These steps are **optional**. 
> 
> If you do not use Traefik, you can skip this section of steps. This is only for users who wish to put the TVApp2 container behind Traefik.

<br />

Our first step is to tell Traefik about our TVApp2 container. We highly recommend you utilize a Traefik [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml), instead of **[labels](#labels)**. Using a [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml) allows for automatic refreshing without the need to restart Traefik when a change is made.

If you decide to use **[labels](#labels)** instead of a [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml), any changes you want to make to your labels will require a restart of Traefik.

<br />

We will be setting up the following:

- A `middleware` to re-direct http to https
- A `route` to access TVApp2 via http (optional)
- A `route` to access TVApp2 via https (secure)
- A `service` to tell Traefik how to access your TVApp2 container
- A `resolver` so that Traefik can generate and apply a wildcard SSL certificate

<br />

### Labels

To add TVApp2 to Traefik, you will need to open your `📄 docker-compose.yml` and apply the following labels to your TVApp2 container. Ensure you change `domain.lan` to your actual domain name.

```yml
services:
    tvapp2:
        container_name: tvapp2
        image: ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest                 # Image: Github
      # image: thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest                         # Image: Dockerhub
      # image: git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2:latest        # Image: Gitea
        hostname: tvapp2
        restart: unless-stopped
        volumes:
            - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
            - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
            - ./config:/config
            - ./app:/usr/bin/app
        environment:
            - TZ=Etc/UTC
            - DIR_RUN=/usr/bin/app
        labels:

            #   General
            - traefik.enable=true

            #   Router > http
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-http.rule=Host(`tvapp2.localhost`) || Host(`tvapp2.domain.lan`)
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-http.service=tvapp2
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-http.entrypoints=http
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-http.middlewares=https-redirect@file

            #   Router > https
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.rule=Host(`tvapp2.localhost`) || Host(`tvapp2.domain.lan`)
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.service=tvapp2
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.entrypoints=https
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.tls=true
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.tls.certresolver=cloudflare
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.tls.domains[0].main=domain.lan
            - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.tls.domains[0].sans=*.domain.lan

            #   Load Balancer
            - traefik.http.services.tvapp2.loadbalancer.server.port=4124
            - traefik.http.services.tvapp2.loadbalancer.server.scheme=http
```


<br />

After you've added the labels above, skip the [📄 dynamic.yml](#dynamicyml) section and go straight to the **[📄 static.yml](#staticyml)** section.

<br />
<br />

### Dynamic.yml

If you decide to not use **[labels](#labels)** and want to use a [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml), you will first need to create your [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml). the Traefik [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml) is usually named `📄 dynamic.yml`. We need to add a new `middleware`, `router`, and `service` to our Traefik [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml) so that it knows about our new TVApp2 container and where it is.

```yml
http:
    middlewares:
        https-redirect:
            redirectScheme:
                scheme: "https"
                permanent: true

    routers:
        tvapp2-http:
            service: tvapp2
            rule: Host(`tvapp2.localhost`) || Host(`tvapp2.domain.lan`)
            entryPoints:
                - http
            middlewares:
                - https-redirect@file

        tvapp2-https:
            service: tvapp2
            rule: Host(`tvapp2.localhost`) || Host(`tvapp2.domain.lan`)
            entryPoints:
                - https
            tls:
                certResolver: cloudflare
                domains:
                    - main: "domain.lan"
                      sans:
                          - "*.domain.lan"

    services:
        tvapp2:
            loadBalancer:
                servers:
                    - url: "https://tvapp2:4124"
```

<br />

### Static.yml

These entries will go in your Traefik `📄 static.yml` file. Any changes made to this file requires that you restart Traefik afterward.

<br />

#### Providers

> [!NOTE]
> This step is only for users who opted to use the **[📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml)** method.
>
> Users who opted to use [labels](#labels) can skip to the section **[certificatesResolvers](#certificatesresolvers)**

<br />

Ensure you add the following new section to your `📄 static.yml`:

<br />

```yml
providers:
    docker:
        endpoint: "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
        exposedByDefault: false
        network: traefik
        watch: true
    file:
        filename: "/etc/traefik/dynamic.yml"
        watch: true
```

<br />

The code above is what enables the use of a **[📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml)** instead of labels. Change `📄 /etc/traefik/dynamic.yml` if you are placing your dynamic file in a different location. This path is relative to inside the container, not your host machine mounted volume path. Traefik keeps most files in the `📁 /etc/traefik/` folder.

<br />

After you add the above, open your Traefik's `📄 docker-compose.yml` file and mount a new volume so that Traefik knows where your new dynamic file is:

```yml
services:
    traefik:
        container_name: traefik
        image: traefik:latest
        hostname: tvapp2
        restart: unless-stopped
        volumes:
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
            - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
            - ./config/traefik.yml:/etc/traefik/traefik.yml:ro
            - ./config/dynamic.yml:/etc/traefik/dynamic.yml:ro
```

<br />

You must ensure you add a new volume like shown above:

- `/config/dynamic.yml:/etc/traefik/dynamic.yml:ro`

<br />

On your host machine, make sure you place the `📄 dynamic.yml` file in a sub-folder called **config**, which should be inside the same folder where your Traefik's `📄 docker-compose.yml` file is. If you want to change this location, ensure you change the mounted volume path above.

<br />

After you have completed this, proceed to the section **[certificatesResolvers](#certificatesresolvers)**.

<br />

#### certificatesResolvers

> [!NOTE]
> This step is required no matter which option you picked above, both for **[📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml)** setups, as well as people using **[labels](#labels)**.

<br />

Open your Traefik `📄 static.yml` file. We need to define the `certResolver` that we added above either in your dynamic file, or label. To define the `certResolver`, we will be adding a new section labeled `certificatesResolvers`. We are going to use Cloudflare in this example, you can use whatever from the list at:

- https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/#providers

<br />

```yml
certificatesResolvers:
    cloudflare:
        acme:
            email: youremail@address.com
            storage: /cloudflare/acme.json
            keyType: EC256
            preferredChain: 'ISRG Root X1'
            dnsChallenge:
                provider: cloudflare
                delayBeforeCheck: 15
                resolvers:
                    - "1.1.1.1:53"
                    - "1.0.0.1:53"
                disablePropagationCheck: true
```

<br />

Once you pick the DNS / SSL provider you want to use from the code above, you need to see if that provider has any special environment variables that must be set. The **[Providers Page](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/#providers)** lists all providers and also what env variables need set for each one.

<br />

In our example, since we are using **Cloudflare** for `dnsChallenge` -> `provider`, we must set the following environment variables:

- `CF_API_EMAIL`
- `CF_API_KEY`

<br />

Create a `.env` environment file in the same folder where your Traefik `📄 docker-compose.yml` file is located, and add the following:

```yml
CF_API_EMAIL=yourcloudflare@email.com
CF_API_KEY=Your-Cloudflare-API-Key
```

<br />

Save the `📄 .env` file and exit. For these environment variables to be detected by Traefik, you must give your Traefik container a restart. Until you restart Traefik, it will not be able to generate your new SSL certificates. Before doing the restart, we need to create one more folder and file; this is where Traefik will store your SSL certificate generated by Cloudflare.

<br />

Run the commands below, which will do the following:

- Create a new folder called `cloudflare`
- Create a new file named `📄 acme.json`
- Set the permission for the `📄 acme.json` file to `chmod 600`.
  - If you do not do this step, Traefik will fail to start. You must change the permissions in order to protect the file.

```shell
mkdir -p /home/docker/traefik/cloudflare
touch /home/docker/traefik/cloudflare/acme.json
chmod 0600 /home/docker/traefik/cloudflare/acme.json
```

<br />

The `📄 acme.json` file will not be populated with an SSL certificate until the next time you restart Traefik. You can wait and restart in a moment after you finish editing the `📄 static.yml` file, as there are more items to add below.

<br />

#### entryPoints (Normal)

Finally, inside the Traefik `📄 static.yml`, we need to make sure we have our `entryPoints` configured. Add the following to the Traefik `📄 static.yml` file only if you **DON'T** have entry points set yet:

```yml
entryPoints:
    http:
        address: :80
        http:
            redirections:
                entryPoint:
                    to: https
                    scheme: https

    https:
        address: :443
        http3: {}
        http:
            tls:
                options: default
                certResolver: cloudflare
                domains:
                    - main: domain.lan
                      sans:
                          - '*.domain.lan'
```

<br />

#### entryPoints (Cloudflare)

If your website is behind Cloudflare's proxy service, you need to modify your `entryPoints` above so that you can automatically allow Cloudflare's IP addresses through. This means your entry points will look a bit different.

<br />

In the example below, we will add `forwardedHeaders` -> `trustedIPs` and add all of Cloudflare's IPs to the list which are available here:

- https://cloudflare.com/ips/

```yml
entryPoints:
    http:
        address: :80
        forwardedHeaders:
            trustedIPs: &trustedIps
                - 103.21.244.0/22
                - 103.22.200.0/22
                - 103.31.4.0/22
                - 104.16.0.0/13
                - 104.24.0.0/14
                - 108.162.192.0/18
                - 131.0.72.0/22
                - 141.101.64.0/18
                - 162.158.0.0/15
                - 172.64.0.0/13

                      sans:
                          - '*.domain.lan'
```

<br />

Remember to change `domain.lan` to your actual domain name. Then save the files and then give Traefik and your TVApp2 container a restart. After the restart is complete; you should be able to access TVApp2 in your browser by going to

```console
https://tvapp2.domain.lan
```

<br />

## Authentik Integration

This section will not explain how to install and set up [Authentik](https://goauthentik.io/). We are only going to cover adding TVApp2 integration to Authentik.

<br />

Sign into the Authentik admin panel, go to the left-side navigation, select **Applications** -> **Providers**. Then at the top of the new page, click **Create**.

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/01.png"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Select <code>Applications</code> › <code>Providers</code></sup></small></p>

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/02.png"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Select <code>Create</code></small></p>

<br />

For the **provider**, select `Proxy Provider`.

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/03.png"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Select desired provider type, or select <b><code>Proxy Provider</code></b></sup></small></p>

<br />

Add the following provider values:
- **Name**: `TVApp2 ForwardAuth`
- **Authentication Flow**: `default-source-authentication (Welcome to authentik!)`
- **Authorization Flow**: `default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent (Authorize Application)`

<br />

Select **Forward Auth (single application)**:
- **External Host**: `https://tvapp2.domain.lan`

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/04.gif"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Create new <b><code>Provider</code></b></sup></small></p>

<br />

Once finished, click **Create**. Then on the left-side menu, select **Applications** -> **Applications**. Then at the top of the new page, click **Create**.

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/05.png"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Select <code>Applications</code> › <code>Applications</code></sup></small></p>

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/02.png"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Select <code>Create</code></small></p>

<br />

Add the following parameters:
- **Name**: `TVApp2 IPTV`
- **Slug**: `tvapp2`
- **Group**: `IPTV`
- **Provider**: `TVApp2 ForwardAuth`
- **Backchannel Providers**: `None`
- **Policy Engine Mode**: `any`

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/06.png"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Create Application</sup></small></p>

<br />

Save, and then on the left-side menu, select **Applications** -> **Outposts**:

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/07.png"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Select <code>Applications</code> › <code>Outposts</code></sup></small></p>

<br />

Find your **Outpost** and edit it.

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/08.png"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Edit outpost</sup></small></p>

<br />

Move `TVApp2 IPTV` to the right side **Selected Applications** box.

<br />

<p align="center"><img style="width: 80%;text-align: center;" src="docs/img/authentik/09.png"><br><small><sup><b>Authentik:</b> Assign application to outpost</sup></small></p>

<br />

If you followed our [Traefik](#traefik-integration) guide above, you were shown how to add your TVApp2 container to Traefik using either the [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml) or **[labels](#labels)**. Depending on which option you picked, follow that section's guide below.

- For **label** users, go to the section [Labels](#labels-1) below.
- For **dynamic file** users, go to the section [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml-1) below.

<br />

### Labels

Open your TVApp2's `📄 docker-compose.yml` and modify your labels to include Authentik as a **middleware** by adding `authentik@file` to the label `traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.middlewares`. You should have something similar to the example below:

```yml
services:
    tvapp2:
        container_name: tvapp2
        image: ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest                 # Image: Github
      # image: thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest                         # Image: Dockerhub
      # image: git.binaryninja.net/binaryninja/tvapp2:latest        # Image: Gitea
        restart: unless-stopped
        volumes:
            - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
            - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
            - ./config:/config
            - ./app:/usr/bin/app
        environment:
            - TZ=Etc/UTC
            - DIR_RUN=/usr/bin/app
        labels:

          #   General
          - traefik.enable=true

          #   Router > http
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-http.rule=Host(`tvapp2.localhost`) || Host(`tvapp2.domain.lan`)
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-http.service=tvapp2
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-http.entrypoints=http
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-http.middlewares=https-redirect@file

          #   Router > https
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.rule=Host(`tvapp2.localhost`) || Host(`tvapp2.domain.lan`)
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.service=tvapp2
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.entrypoints=https
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.middlewares=authentik@file
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.tls=true
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.tls.certresolver=cloudflare
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.tls.domains[0].main=domain.lan
          - traefik.http.routers.tvapp2-https.tls.domains[0].sans=*.domain.lan

          #   Load Balancer
          - traefik.http.services.tvapp2.loadbalancer.server.port=443
          - traefik.http.services.tvapp2.loadbalancer.server.scheme=https
```

<br />

### Dynamic.yml

If you opted to use the [📄 dynamic file](#dynamicyml), open your Traefik's `📄 dynamic.yml` file and apply the `authentik@file` middleware to look something like the following:

<br />

```yml
http:
    routers:
        tvapp2-https:
            service: tvapp2
            rule: Host(`tvapp2.localhost`) || Host(`tvapp2.domain.com`)
            entryPoints:
                - https
            middlewares:
                - authentik@file
            tls:
                certResolver: cloudflare
                domains:
                    - main: "domain.com"
                      sans:
                          - "*.domain.com"
```

<br />

After you've done everything above, give your **Traefik** and **Authentik** containers a restart. Once they come back up; you should be able to access `tvapp2.domain.lan` and be prompted now to authenticate with Authentik. Once you authenticate, you should be re-directed to your TVApp2 home screen which is where you will get your m3u and epg files.

<br />

## Troubleshooting

If you have issues building your TVApp2 docker image, please refer to the following sections below:

<br />
<br />

### Run Error: `Warning: Step size 60 higher than possible maximum of 59`

This error means that you have placed an incorrect value for a cron job. This error can show if you've set:

```shell
        environment:
            TASK_CRON_SYNC: "*/60 * * * *"
```

<br />

To correctly set the value, change your cron to:

```shell
        environment:
            TASK_CRON_SYNC: "0 */1 * * *"
```

<br />
<br />

### Run Error: `Error serving playlist: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open /usr/src/app/xmltv.1.xml`

This error occurs at run-time when attempting to spin up your TVApp2 docker container. If you receive this error, restart your TVApp2 docker container. Ensure that your docker container also has access to your docker network so that it can connect to our repository and fetch the data files it needs to generate your playlist.

<br />

If the error continues after doing the above; delete the existing image, and re-pull from one of our official sources.

<br />
<br />

### Build Error: `s6-rc-compile: fatal: invalid /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/certsync/type: must be oneshot, longrun, or bundle`

This error means that you are attempting to combine files which are utilizing CRLF over LF; which is **CR** = Carriage Return and **LF** = Line Feed

The **CRLF** line break type is commonly used in Windows operating systems and DOS-based text files. It combines two characters: Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF).

The **LF** line break type is predominantly used in Unix, Linux, macOS, and modern text editors, including those for web development. In this convention, a single Line Feed character `\n` represents a line break. Unlike CR LF, there is no preceding Carriage Return character. The LF line break type solely relies on the line feed character to move to the next line.

<br />

If you attempt to build the TVApp2 docker image in Linux, but have modified the files in Windows, you may receive the following error:

```console
s6-rc-compile: fatal: invalid /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/certsync/type: must be oneshot, longrun, or bundle
```

<br />

To correct this issue, `🗔 cd` into the folder with the TVApp2 files, and then convert them to `LF` using the library `🗔 dos2unix`. The command below will convert all files to LF, but will EXCLUDE the following:

- `.git` folder
- `.jpg` images
- `.jpeg` images
- `.png` images

```shell
cd /path/to/tvapp2
find ./ -type f | grep -Ev '.git|*.jpg|*.jpeg|*.png' | sudo xargs dos2unix --
```

<br />

> [!WARNING]
> Do not run `🗔 dos2unix` on your `📁 .git` folder or you will corrupt your git indexes and will be unable to push commits.
>
> If you accidentally run `🗔 dos2unix` on your .git folder, do NOT push anything to git. Pull a new copy from the repo.

<br />
<br />

### Build Error: `unable to exec /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-envfile/run: Permission denied`

There are multiple errors you can receive when attempting to run your TVApp2 docker image. You may receive any of the following errors:

- `Failed to open apk database: Permission denied`
- `s6-rc: warning: unable to start service init-adduser: command exited 127`
- `unable to exec /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-envfile/run: Permission denied`
- `/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-adduser/run: line 34: aetherxown: command not found`
- `/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-adduser/run: /usr/bin/aetherxown: cannot execute: required file not found`

<br />

If you receive any of the above errors; this means that you have not set your `run` files to have execute permissions `+x`. Run the following command in the root directory of your TVApp2 project folder:

```shell
find ./ -name 'run' -print -exec sudo chmod +x {} \;
```

<br />

After you have set these permissions, re-build your docker image using `docker build` or `docker buildx`. Then spin the container up.

<br />
<br />

### Build Error: `[ERR] [27] Jellyfin.LiveTv.Guide.GuideManager: Error getting programs for channel XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (Source 2) System.Xml.XmlException: '', hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.`

This error may be seen if you are attempting to import our EPG guide data directly into Jellyfin. The cause of this is due to you having **GZIP Compression** enabled in your header request and response. See the example below; which is in your TVApp2 `📄 docker-compose.yml` file:

```yml
    tvapp2:
        container_name: tvapp2
        image: ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest
        hostname: tvapp2
        restart: unless-stopped
        environment:
            LOG_LEVEL: 10
            WEB_ENCODING: 'gzip, deflate, br'
```

<br />

To fix the issue, add or change the environment variable `WEB_ENCODING` and ensure `gzip` is not specified in the list like the following:

```yml
    tvapp2:
        container_name: tvapp2
        image: ghcr.io/thebinaryninja/tvapp2:latest
        hostname: tvapp2
        restart: unless-stopped
        environment:
            LOG_LEVEL: 10
            WEB_ENCODING: 'deflate, br'
```

<br />

<br />

## Extra Notes

The following are other things to take into consideration when creating the TVApp2 image:

<br />

### Accessing Container Shell

The TVApp2 docker image is built on Alpine Linux, but also includes the `📦 bash` package. Use one of the following to access the shell for this container:

<br />

#### ash

```shell
docker exec -it tvapp2 ash
```

<br />

#### sh

```shell
docker exec -it tvapp2 sh
```

<br />

#### bash

```shell
docker exec -it tvapp2 bash
```

<br />
<br />

### Custom Docker Image Scripts

> [!NOTE]
> These instructions are for **Advanced Users Only**; who wish to build their own image.

<br />

The [🔀 thebinaryninja/tvapp2](https://github.com/thebinaryninja/tvapp2) image supports the ability of adding custom scripts that will be ran when the container is started. To create / add a new custom script to the container, you need to create a new folder in the container source files `📁 /root` folder

```shell
mkdir -p /root/custom-cont-init.d/
```

<br />

Within this new folder, add your custom script:

```shell
nano /root/custom-cont-init.d/my_customs_script
```

<br />

Your new custom script should be populated with the bash code you want to perform actions with such as the example below:

```bash
#!/bin/bash

echo "**** INSTALLING BASH ****"
apk add --no-cache bash
```

<br />

When you create the docker image, this new script will automatically be loaded. You can also do this via the `📄 docker-compose.yml` file by mounting a new volume:

```yml
services:
    tvapp2:
        volumes:
            - ./config:/config
            - ./app:/usr/bin/app
            - ./custom-scripts:/custom-cont-init.d:ro
```

<br />

> [!NOTE]
> if using compose, we recommend mounting them **read-only** (`:ro`) so that container processes cannot write to the location.

> [!WARNING]
> The folder `📂 /root/custom-cont-init.d` **MUST** be owned by `👥 root`. If this is not the case, this folder will be renamed and a new empty folder will be created. This is to prevent remote code execution by putting scripts in the aforesaid folder.

<br />

The [🔀 thebinaryninja/tvapp2](https://github.com/thebinaryninja/tvapp2) image already contains a custom script called `📄 /root/custom-cont-init.d/plugins`. Do **NOT** edit this script. It is what automatically downloads the official TVApp2 plugins and adds them to the container.

<br />
