+# Publishing BDFR Web Interface to Docker Hub
+
+This guide covers how to build and push the Docker image to Docker Hub.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Docker Hub Account**: Create one at https://hub.docker.com if you don't have one
+2. **Docker installed**: Ensure Docker is running on your machine
+
+## Step 1: Login to Docker Hub
+
+Open your terminal and login:
+
+```bash
+docker login
+```
+
+Enter your Docker Hub username and password when prompted.
+
+## Step 2: Build the Image with Proper Tagging
+
+Build the image with your Docker Hub username and desired repository name:
+
+```bash
+# Replace 'yourusername' with your actual Docker Hub username
+# Replace 'bdfr-web' with your desired repository name (or keep it)
+
+docker build -t yourusername/bdfr-web:latest .
+
+# You can also add version tags
+docker build -t yourusername/bdfr-web:latest -t yourusername/bdfr-web:1.0.0 .
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+docker build -t danielsmith/bdfr-web:latest -t danielsmith/bdfr-web:1.0.0 .
+```
+
+## Step 3: Test the Image Locally (Optional but Recommended)
+
+Before pushing, verify the image works:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 8000:8000 \
+  -v $(pwd)/downloads:/downloads \
+  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
+  --name bdfr-test \
+  yourusername/bdfr-web:latest
+```
+
+Visit `http://localhost:8000` to verify it works, then clean up:
+
+```bash
+docker stop bdfr-test
+docker rm bdfr-test
+```
+
+## Step 4: Push to Docker Hub
+
+Push the image to Docker Hub:
+
+```bash
+# Push latest tag
+docker push yourusername/bdfr-web:latest
+
+# If you created a version tag, push that too
+docker push yourusername/bdfr-web:1.0.0
+```
+
+## Step 5: Verify the Push
+
+1. Go to https://hub.docker.com
+2. Navigate to your repositories
+3. You should see `bdfr-web` listed
+4. Click on it to see tags and details
+
+## Using the Published Image
+
+Others can now pull and use your image:
+
+```bash
+docker pull yourusername/bdfr-web:latest
+docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -v ./downloads:/downloads yourusername/bdfr-web:latest
+```
+
+Or using docker-compose, update [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml):
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  bdfr-web:
+    image: yourusername/bdfr-web:latest  # Replace 'build:' section with this
+    # ... rest of configuration
+```
+
+## Automated Build with Docker Hub
+
+You can set up automated builds that trigger when you push to GitHub:
+
+1. Go to https://hub.docker.com
+2. Navigate to your repository
+3. Click "Builds" tab
+4. Click "Configure Automated Builds"
+5. Connect your GitHub account
+6. Select your repository
+7. Configure build rules (e.g., build on push to main branch)
+
+## Multi-Platform Builds (Optional)
+
+To build for multiple architectures (amd64, arm64, etc.):
+
+### Setup buildx (one-time setup)
+
+```bash
+# Create a new builder
+docker buildx create --name multiplatform --use
+
+# Bootstrap the builder
+docker buildx inspect --bootstrap
+```
+
+### Build and push multi-platform image
+
+```bash
+docker buildx build \
+  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
+  -t yourusername/bdfr-web:latest \
+  -t yourusername/bdfr-web:1.0.0 \
+  --push \
+  .
+```
+
+This creates images that work on both x86_64 (Intel/AMD) and ARM64 (Apple Silicon, Raspberry Pi, etc.).
+
+## Updating Your Published Image
+
+When you make changes:
+
+1. **Update version**: Increment version in tags (e.g., 1.0.0 → 1.0.1)
+2. **Rebuild**: 
+   ```bash
+   docker build -t yourusername/bdfr-web:latest -t yourusername/bdfr-web:1.0.1 .
+   ```
+3. **Push**:
+   ```bash
+   docker push yourusername/bdfr-web:latest
+   docker push yourusername/bdfr-web:1.0.1
+   ```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Tagging Strategy
+
+- `latest`: Always points to the most recent stable build
+- `1.0.0`, `1.0.1`: Specific version tags for reproducibility
+- `1.0`, `1`: Major/minor version tags
+- `dev`: Development/unstable builds
+
+Example tagging:
+```bash
+docker build -t yourusername/bdfr-web:latest \
+             -t yourusername/bdfr-web:1.0.1 \
+             -t yourusername/bdfr-web:1.0 \
+             -t yourusername/bdfr-web:1 .
+```
+
+### Repository Description
+
+Add a good description to your Docker Hub repository:
+
+1. Go to your repository on Docker Hub
+2. Click "Description" tab
+3. Add a README with:
+   - What the image does
+   - How to use it
+   - Environment variables
+   - Volume mounts
+   - Example docker-compose.yml
+
+### Size Optimization
+
+Current image uses multi-stage builds and is already optimized. To check size:
+
+```bash
+docker images yourusername/bdfr-web
+```
+
+## Complete Script
+
+Here's a complete script to build and push (save as `publish-docker.sh`):
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+set -e
+
+# Configuration
+DOCKER_USERNAME="yourusername"
+IMAGE_NAME="bdfr-web"
+VERSION="1.0.0"
+
+# Build
+echo "Building Docker image..."
+docker build -t ${DOCKER_USERNAME}/${IMAGE_NAME}:latest \
+             -t ${DOCKER_USERNAME}/${IMAGE_NAME}:${VERSION} .
+
+# Test
+echo "Testing image..."
+docker run --rm ${DOCKER_USERNAME}/${IMAGE_NAME}:latest bdfr --version
+
+# Login (if not already logged in)
+echo "Logging in to Docker Hub..."
+docker login
+
+# Push
+echo "Pushing to Docker Hub..."
+docker push ${DOCKER_USERNAME}/${IMAGE_NAME}:latest
+docker push ${DOCKER_USERNAME}/${IMAGE_NAME}:${VERSION}
+
+echo "Done! Image published to:"
+echo "  docker pull ${DOCKER_USERNAME}/${IMAGE_NAME}:latest"
+echo "  docker pull ${DOCKER_USERNAME}/${IMAGE_NAME}:${VERSION}"
+```
+
+Make it executable:
+```bash
+chmod +x publish-docker.sh
+./publish-docker.sh
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "denied: requested access to the resource is denied"
+
+- Make sure you're logged in: `docker login`
+- Verify your username in the image tag matches your Docker Hub username
+- Check that the repository exists or that you have permissions
+
+### "image not found" after push
+
+- Wait a few minutes - Docker Hub indexing can be delayed
+- Refresh the Docker Hub web page
+- Try pulling: `docker pull yourusername/bdfr-web:latest`
+
+### Large image size
+
+Current image should be ~500-800MB. If larger:
+- Check that `.dockerignore` is working
+- Verify multi-stage build is being used
+- Clean up any unnecessary files in the image
+
+## Private Repositories
+
+To make your repository private:
+
+1. Go to Docker Hub repository settings
+2. Change visibility to "Private"
+3. Users will need to login to pull: `docker login` before `docker pull`

+# BDFR Web Interface
+
+A complete web-based interface for the Bulk Downloader for Reddit (BDFR) with real-time progress tracking and scheduled downloads.
+
+This tool is a frontend for the BDFR tool found here: https://github.com/Serene-Arc/bulk-downloader-for-reddit
+Although I've made a few changes to allow for better repeat download persistence to avoid redownloading previously downloaded content.
+
+## Features
+
+### 🎯 **Three Download Modes**
+- **Download**: Media files only (images, videos, gifs) from Reddit posts
+- **Archive**: Post metadata (title, author, comments) in JSON/XML format
+- **Clone**: Complete backup combining media files and metadata
+
+### 📍 **Multiple Source Types**
+- **Subreddit Downloads**: Download content from any subreddit with customizable filters
+- **User Downloads**: Download posts from specific users (submitted, upvoted, or saved content)
+
+### ⚡ **Real-Time Progress Tracking**
+- WebSocket-based live progress updates
+- Visual progress bars and status indicators
+- Download queue management with cancel functionality
+- Phase tracking (downloading, processing, completing)
+
+### 🔐 **Reddit OAuth2 Authentication**
+- Secure authentication with Reddit API
+- Access to private content (saved/upvoted posts)
+- Session management and token refresh
+
+### ⚙️ **Advanced Options**
+- **Duplicate Detection**: Avoid re-downloading existing files
+- **Hard Link Creation**: Save disk space with file links
+- **Scheduled Downloads**: Set up daily automatic downloads
+- **Content Filtering**: Filter by score, time range, and sort order
+- **Simple Check**: Fast URL-based duplicate detection
+
+### 📊 **Management Dashboard**
+- Active download monitoring
+- Scheduled task management
+- System status indicators
+- Download history and statistics
+
+## Quick Start with Docker Compose
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+services:
+  bdfr-web:
+    image: moderatewinguy/bdfr-web:latest
+    # Uncomment and set user if needed (optional for most setups)
+    # user: "1000:1000"  # Set to your user's UID:GID (run 'id' to find yours)
+    ports:
+      - "8000:8000"
+    volumes:
+      - ./downloads:/app/downloads  # Reddit content storage
+      - ./data:/app/data            # Database persistence
+    environment:
+      - BDFR_CLIENT_ID=your_reddit_client_id
+      - BDFR_CLIENT_SECRET=your_reddit_client_secret
+      - BDFR_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8000/auth/callback
+```
+
+Run with:
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+Access at: http://localhost:8000
+
+## Configuration
+
+### User Permissions
+
+The container is designed to run as any user, allowing it to match your system's permissions.
+
+**For TrueNAS/NAS Systems:**
+- Use the "Custom User" setting in your container configuration
+- Set it to the UID of the user that owns your mounted shares
+- The container will automatically run as that user
+
+**For Docker Compose:**
+If needed, uncomment the `user:` line in docker-compose.yml:
+```yaml
+user: "1000:1000"  # Set to your user's UID:GID
+```
+
+Find your UID/GID with: `id` (Linux/Mac) or `wsl id` (Windows WSL)
+
+**The container will work with any UID/GID** - just ensure the mounted volumes are owned by the same user.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Description | Required |
+|----------|-------------|----------|
+| `BDFR_CLIENT_ID` | Reddit OAuth2 client ID | Yes |
+| `BDFR_CLIENT_SECRET` | Reddit OAuth2 client secret | Yes |
+| `BDFR_REDIRECT_URI` | OAuth2 redirect URI | Yes |
+| `HOST` | Server host (default: 0.0.0.0) | No |
+| `PORT` | Server port (default: 8000) | No |
+| `DEBUG` | Enable debug mode | No |
+
+## Volume Mounts
+
+- **`/app/downloads`**: All Reddit content is stored here
+- **`/app/data`**: SQLite databases for scheduled tasks and application data
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+- `GET /` - Web interface
+- `POST /api/download/subreddit` - Start subreddit download
+- `POST /api/download/user` - Start user download
+- `GET /api/downloads` - List active downloads
+- `DELETE /api/downloads/{id}` - Cancel download
+- `GET /health` - Health check
+- `WS /ws/progress` - Real-time progress updates
+
+## Getting Reddit OAuth Credentials
+
+1. Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
+2. Click "Create App" or "Create Another App"
+3. Select "web app" and fill in the details
+4. Set redirect URI to: `http://localhost:8000/auth/callback`
+5. Copy the client ID and client secret to your `.env` file
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Content Archiving**: Save Reddit posts and media for offline access
+- **Research Data Collection**: Gather post metadata for analysis
+- **Media Backup**: Download images/videos from favorite subreddits
+- **Automated Downloads**: Schedule daily content collection
+- **Personal Archive**: Backup your own posts and saved content
+
+## Supported Content Sources
+
+- Direct image/video links
+- Imgur albums and images
+- Reddit native media (images, videos, gifs)
+- YouTube videos
+- Gfycat animations
+- And many more via yt-dlp fallback
+
+## Technical Details
+
+- **Base Image**: Python 3.11-slim
+- **Web Framework**: FastAPI with WebSocket support
+- **Frontend**: Vanilla JavaScript with modern CSS
+- **Database**: SQLite for task scheduling
+- **Authentication**: OAuth2 with Reddit API
+- **File Processing**: Multi-threaded downloads with progress tracking
+
+
+---
+
+**Note**: This image includes the complete BDFR tool, so you can also run CLI commands directly:
+```bash
+docker exec bdfr-web bdfr download /app/downloads --subreddit python -L 50
+```
