I need one more component here, the service manager service site This is an ansible role intended to be ran as a supplement to my server-base playbook upon request
I'll use what I built for the carputer, and add to it Some considerations of this are the expectations of docker and samba already being installed and configured
Things to add:
- Duration selection grid This ansible task automatically builds out a matt-cloud debian puck to be a VCR Ripping device
- Duration Submission Selection API There is a hardware requirement of USB RCA Capture device, and this device must have its settings configured in defauts/main.yaml
- Cron job + helper script
This process uses stages of different software to accomplish the goal of making capturing a VHS tape as automatic as possible
Most of the layers include:
- ffmpeg service to combine the video and audio of the USB capture device into a rtmp stream
- mediamtx to automatically save rtmp streams to a mp4 file
- a docker apache php container for the control site
- a python API service to control the ffmpeg streaming service
- a small helper script to monitor the elapsed time and stop streaming after the selected time
- a playbook to mount and format a sd card when using ARM based puck systems
I will update the API to maintain the selection state and return it from the API
I will write a selection grid that updates color depending on selction
It will also be a styled radio button states 0-3 for 6ht, 2hr, 1hr, and 30min
I will write a helper cron script that runs every second that will stop the service when the API says so
The API will have a function that will return the expected state of the service
When the helper script sees it not match, it will stop the service
