This is better particularly when the user is following the docker
instructions and doesn't have a local checkout at all. It also is a
rendered HTML view rather than raw markdown.
It'd be nice to link to the exact release we're using, not tip of
master. I didn't do this now because it'll likely take some work with
build.rs to check if the user is on a tagged release or not.
Fixes#180
SelectView::set_selection doesn't seem to be working properly. The
symptom is editing an existing camera will clear the sample file dir,
and thus hitting edit without making any changes will fail.
This drops several older dependencies and reduces final binary size
(text section by ~200KiB, unstripped binary by ~12MiB)
I'll have to manually add new hash formats, and I won't ever be able
to take advantage of libpasta's (currently unused) facility to wrap
hashes, but I think it's worth it. libpasta isn't well-maintained.
- after 3->4 upgrade, it left the foreign key referring to the
nonexistent old_camera table. Likely no one who did the upgrade
has ever inserted anything into this table, so no one's noticed.
- 6->7 upgrade dropped tables in the wrong order, so if there was
anything in the signal_camera table, the upgrade would fail.
Now there's room to add arbitrary configuration to signals and types.
Several things are no longer fixed columns/tables but instead within
the configuration types.
This fixes#178. Before, everything got translated to 5xx status;
now it produces the correct type in several cases.
Ideally I'd get rid of the untyped errors in all of web.rs; this is
a small step.
After a frustrating search for a suitable channel to use for shutdown
(tokio::sync:⌚:Receiver and
futures::future::Shared<tokio::sync::oneshot::Receiver> didn't look
quite right) in which I rethought my life decisions, I finally just made
my own (server/base/shutdown.rs). We can easily poll it or wait for it
in async or sync contexts. Most importantly, it's convenient; not that
it really matters here, but it's also efficient.
We now do a slightly better job of propagating a "graceful" shutdown
signal, and this channel will give us tools to improve it over time.
* Shut down even when writer or syncer operations are stuck. Fixes#117
* Not done yet: streamers should instantly shut down without waiting for
a connection attempt or frame or something. I'll probably
implement that when removing --rtsp-library=ffmpeg. The code should be
cleaner then.
* Not done yet: fix a couple places that sleep for up to a second when
they could shut down immediately. I just need to do the plumbing for
mock clocks to work.
I also implemented an immediate shutdown mode, activated by a second
signal. I think this will mitigate the streamer wait situation.
I saw this recently while working on new-schema. It was probably due
to some manual upgrade or downgrade I did rather than an actual bug.
Improve debuggability a little nonetheless.
I copied the example of the password field by introducing a setter.
But I forgot: it was only that way because the password field has
the complexity of hashing/salting. For fields where setting is
idempotent, it can be directly exposed.
As written in the changelog: Live streams formerly worked around a
Firefox pixel aspect ratio bug by forcing all videos to 16:9, which
dramatically distorted 9:16 camera views. Playback didn't, so anamorphic
videos looked correct on Chrome but slightly stretched on Firefox. Now
both live streams and playback are fully correct on all browsers.
This isn't well-tested and doesn't yet support an initial connection
timeout. But in a quick test, it successfully returns video!
I'd like to do some more aggressive code restructuring for zero-copy
and to have only one writer thread per sample file directory (rather
than the syncer thread + one writer thread per RTSP stream). But I'll
likely wait until I drop support for ffmpeg entirely.
Reading from the mmap()ed region in the tokio threads could cause
them to stall:
* That could affect UI serving when there were concurrent
UI requests (i.e., not just requests that needed the reads in
question anyway).
* If there's a faulty disk, it could cause the UI to totally hang.
Better to not mix disks between threads.
* Soon, I want to handle RTSP from the tokio threads (#37). Similarly,
we don't want RTSP streaming to block on operations from unrelated
disks.
I went with just one thread per disk which I think is sufficient.
But it'd be possible to do a fixed-size pool instead which might improve
latency when some pages are already cached.
I also dropped the memmap dependency. I had to compute the page
alignment anyway to get mremap to work, and Moonfire NVR already is
Unix-specific, so there wasn't much value from the memmap or memmap2
crates.
Fixes#88
