Workflow
- The Indexer creates a file index from a directory to detect quickly file changes and to calculate unique file IDs
- The Extractor calculates preview files and extracts meta data based on the file index and unique file IDs. Duplicated files (same binary content) are extracted only once. All preview files and meta data are stored in a storage directory
- The database builder creates a database from the extracted preview files and meta data for the WebApp
- The server serves the database with preview files from the storage directory
Note
Before the server can serve the database all preview images and videos needs to be calculated. This can be time consuming depending on the amount of media files and the processing maschine.
