ElfHosted is a geeky open-source PaaS which provides all the "plumbing" (hosting, security, updates, etc) for your self-hosted apps.

Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following contents:

services:
    riven:
        image: spoked/riven:latest
        container_name: riven
        restart: unless-stopped
        environment:
            PUID: "1000"
            PGID: "1000"
            ORIGIN: "http:https://localhost:3000" # read below for more info
            RIVEN_PLEX_URL: "http:https://plex:32400"
            RIVEN_PLEX_TOKEN: "your_plex_token"
            RIVEN_PLEX_RCLONE_PATH: "/mnt/zurg/__all__"
            RIVEN_PLEX_LIBRARY_PATH: "/mnt/library"
            RIVEN_DOWNLOADERS_REAL_DEBRID_ENABLED: "true"
            RIVEN_DOWNLOADERS_REAL_DEBRID_API_KEY: "your_real_debrid_api_key"
        ports:
            - "3000:3000"
        volumes:
            - ./data:/riven/data
            - /mnt:/mnt

Then run docker compose up -d to start the container in the background. You can then access the web interface at http:https://localhost:3000 or whatever port and origin you set in the docker-compose.yml file.

ORIGIN is the URL of the frontend on which you will access it from anywhere. If you are hosting Riven on a vps with IP address 123.45.67.890 then you will need to set the ORIGIN to http:https://123.45.67.890:3000 (no trailing slash). Similarly, if using a domain name, you will need to set the ORIGIN to http:https://riven.example.com:3000 (no trailing slash). If you change the port in the docker-compose.yml file, you will need to change it in the ORIGIN as well.

To run outside of docker you will need to have node (v18.13+) and python (3.10+) installed. Then clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/rivenmedia/riven.git && cd riven

and open two terminals in the root of the project and run the following commands in each.

cd frontend
npm install
npm run build
ORIGIN=http:https://localhost:3000 node build

Read above for more info on ORIGIN.

pip install poetry
poetry install --without dev
poetry run python backend/main.py

rclone_path should point to your rclone mount that has your torrents on your host.

library_path should point to the location of the mount in plex container

    "symlink": {
        "rclone_path": "/mnt/zurg",
        "library_path": "/mnt/library"
    }

Welcome to the development section! Here, you'll find all the necessary steps to set up your development environment and start contributing to the project.

Ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js (v18.13+)
• Python (3.10+)
• Poetry (for Python dependency management)
• Docker (optional, for containerized development)

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rivenmedia/riven.git && cd riven

2. Install Backend Dependencies:

   pip install poetry
   poetry install

3. Install Frontend Dependencies:

   cd frontend
   npm install
   cd ..

We provide a Makefile to simplify common development tasks. Here are some useful commands:

• Initialize the Project:

  make

• Start the Development Environment: This command stops any previous containers, removes old images, and rebuilds the image using cached layers. Any changes in the code will trigger a rebuild.

  make start

• Restart the Container:

  make restart

• View Logs:

  make logs

If you prefer not to use make and Docker, you can manually set up the development environment with the following steps:

1. Start the Backend:

   poetry run python backend/main.py

2. Start the Frontend:

   cd frontend
   npm run dev

• Environment Variables: Ensure you set the ORIGIN environment variable to the URL where the frontend will be accessible. For example:

  export ORIGIN=http:https://localhost:3000

• Code Formatting: We use Black for Python and Prettier for JavaScript. Make sure to format your code before submitting any changes.

• Running Tests:

  poetry run pytest

By following these guidelines, you'll be able to set up your development environment smoothly and start contributing to the project. Happy coding!

We welcome contributions from the community! To ensure a smooth collaboration, please follow these guidelines:

1. Open an Issue: For major changes, start by opening an issue to discuss your proposed modifications. This helps us understand your intentions and provide feedback early in the process.
2. Pull Requests: Once your changes are ready, submit a pull request. Ensure your code adheres to our coding standards and passes all tests.

• Backend: We use Black for code formatting. Run black on your code before submitting.
• Frontend: We use Prettier for code formatting. Run prettier on your code before submitting.
• Line Endings: Use CRLF line endings unless the file is a shell script or another format that requires LF line endings.

We use Poetry for managing dependencies. Poetry simplifies dependency management by automatically handling package versions and resolving conflicts, ensuring consistency across all environments.

1. Install Poetry: If you haven't already, install Poetry using pip install poetry.
2. Install Dependencies: After cloning the repository, navigate to the project's root directory and run poetry install. This command installs all necessary dependencies as defined in the pyproject.toml file and creates an isolated virtual environment.
3. Activate Virtual Environment: You can activate the virtual environment using poetry shell or run commands directly using poetry run <command>.

• Add a Dependency: Use poetry add <package-name> to add a new dependency.
• Update a Dependency: Use poetry update <package-name> to update an existing dependency.

Before submitting a pull request, ensure your changes are compatible with the project's dependencies and coding standards. Use the following commands to run tests and linters:

• Run Tests: poetry run pytest
• Run Linters: poetry run ruff check backend and poetry run isort --check-only backend

By following these guidelines, you help us maintain a high-quality codebase and streamline the review process. Thank you for contributing!
