The watchfiles-based watcher works but duplicates Nextcloud's own
notion of "this file changed." NC has a webhook_listeners app that
can POST file events to an external URL. This adds the mule side of
that handshake.
- POST /api/v1/internal/nc-webhook authenticates a Bearer token
(NEXTCLOUD_WEBHOOK_SECRET, hmac.compare_digest) and dispatches the
same scan_folder / handle_file_deletion machinery the watcher used.
- Handles NodeCreated, NodeWritten, NodeDeleted, NodeRenamed.
Renamed is mapped to delete-old + scan-new-parent. Maps NC's
/admin/files/... path to the bind-mounted /nextcloud-users/admin/files/...
- backend/scripts/register_nc_webhooks.py is the idempotent
registrar: lists existing webhooks, deletes any pointing at the
target URL, then POSTs four fresh ones via OCS.
- Sets the env passthrough on backend + all workers in compose so
the same secret is available wherever the registrar might run.
watch_folders stays in place for now — webhooks become primary, the
watcher is a belt-and-suspenders fallback. Drop the watcher in a
follow-up once webhooks are proven reliable on this NC instance.
The offset+limit loop walked the IS NULL set, but every batch's writes
shrank that set, so batch N+1 with offset=N*BATCH skipped over the rows
just filled. A 17k library backfilled only 9k before the loop walked
off the (now-shorter) NULL set.
Replace with a tail-recursive pattern: keep selecting LIMIT BATCH on
the NULL set, tracking rows that won't ever resolve in a `stuck` set so
the loop terminates instead of spinning on them.
mule-image was generating and storing three WebP sizes per photo in
/data/thumbs while Nextcloud already keeps its own previews for the
same source files. Frontend thumbnail requests now proxy NC's
/index.php/core/preview keyed by the photo's Nextcloud fileid,
authenticated with the owner's encrypted app password.
- new column photos.nextcloud_fileid (alembic 0018) plus an index
- get_preview_async + fetch_fileid helpers in nextcloud_dav.py
- thumb route proxies NC primary, falls back to /data/thumbs (legacy
rows / NC unreachable) so a single-file revert restores the old path
- extract_metadata caches the fileid on first run for new photos
- generate_thumbnails now writes only medium since the vision worker
still loads it from disk; small + large drop out of the worker path
- backend/scripts/backfill_nextcloud_fileid.py for one-shot population
of existing rows: docker exec mulita-backend python -m scripts.backfill_nextcloud_fileid
X-Mule-Thumb-Source response header marks each request 'nextcloud' or
'disk' for observability while the rollout settles.
