sbondCo/Watcharr v1.19.0 on GitHub

NOTE: Breaking changes related to server configuration. Please read below for migrating from v1.18.0 and older (tldr: moved to json configuration instead of .env file, accounts can now have admin)

Migration

When you first run v1.19.0, a watcharr.json file will be created in the data directory. A new JWT_SECRET will be automatically generated. If you want to avoid logging users out, you can copy over the secret from your .env file.

You will also have to migrate any other configuration, but this can be done via the new web ui.

If you are using docker, you can remove the .env file volume and delete the file.

NOTE: If you want to use a jellyfin account as the admin, but jellyfin login has now been disabled (because your server url is not in the new config), you have two options at the moment:

Manually edit the watcharr.json config file and add your jellyfin host (add JELLYFIN_HOST):
```
{
  "JWT_SECRET": "my_secret...",
  "JELLYFIN_HOST": "https://jellyfin.example.com"
}
```
Create a new normal watcharr account, give it admin (using the request_admin page, see below..), set the Jellyfin Host setting in the web ui. Then logout and you will be able to login with your jellyfin account. Repeat the process to give admin to this account too.

Server Settings Web UI

Admins can now manage the server settings through the new web ui. Changes are reflected immediately and are saved to the watcharr.json file.

If your account has admin, simply navigate to the face menu then click the settings option.

Here you can easily configure your server.

Getting admin on an existing account

If you have an existing account you would like to give admin to, you can go to 127.0.0.1:3080/request_admin. Click the request button and retrieve the token from your server log (in the data folder: data/watcharr.log. or with docker compose logs).
