+# BDFR Web Interface - Docker Deployment Guide
+
+This guide covers running the BDFR Web Interface with full BDFR backend support using Docker.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Docker Engine 20.10 or later
+- Docker Compose 2.0 or later
+- At least 2GB of free disk space
+
+### Basic Setup
+
+1. **Clone the repository** (if you haven't already):
+   ```bash
+   git clone <repository-url>
+   cd BDFR_Web
+   ```
+
+2. **Create required directories**:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p downloads data config
+   ```
+
+3. **Configure environment variables** (optional but recommended):
+   ```bash
+   cp web_interface/.env.example .env
+   # Edit .env with your Reddit OAuth credentials
+   ```
+
+4. **Start the container**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+5. **Access the web interface**:
+   Open your browser to `http://localhost:8000`
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Create a `.env` file in the project root with the following variables:
+
+```env
+# Reddit OAuth Configuration (Required for authenticated features)
+BDFR_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
+BDFR_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here
+BDFR_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8000/auth/callback
+
+# Server Configuration (Optional)
+HOST=0.0.0.0
+PORT=8000
+DEBUG=false
+```
+
+### Getting Reddit OAuth Credentials
+
+1. Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
+2. Click "Create App" or "Create Another App"
+3. Fill in the form:
+   - **Name**: BDFR Web Interface (or your choice)
+   - **App type**: Select "web app"
+   - **Description**: (optional)
+   - **About URL**: (optional)
+   - **Redirect URI**: `http://localhost:8000/auth/callback`
+4. Click "Create app"
+5. Copy the **client ID** (under the app name) and **client secret**
+
+### Volume Mounts
+
+The Docker setup uses two volume mounts:
+
+| Host Path | Container Path | Purpose |
+|-----------|----------------|---------|
+| `./downloads` | `/downloads` | All Reddit downloads are stored here |
+| `./data` | `/app/data` | SQLite databases, scheduled tasks, and BDFR configuration |
+
+**Data Directory Structure:**
+```
+./data/
+├── bdfr-config/          # BDFR configuration and OAuth tokens
+│   ├── config.cfg        # BDFR settings
+│   ├── log_output.txt    # BDFR logs
+│   └── oauth_tokens/     # Reddit authentication tokens
+├── scheduled_tasks.db    # Web interface scheduled tasks
+└── scheduler_jobs.db     # APScheduler job store
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Managing the Container
+
+**Start the container:**
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+**Stop the container:**
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+**View logs:**
+```bash
+docker-compose logs -f
+```
+
+**Restart the container:**
+```bash
+docker-compose restart
+```
+
+**Rebuild after code changes:**
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d --build
+```
+
+### Using the Web Interface
+
+1. Navigate to `http://localhost:8000`
+2. Use the web UI to:
+   - Download from subreddits
+   - Download from users
+   - Schedule recurring downloads
+   - Monitor active downloads
+   - View download history
+
+### Using BDFR CLI Inside Container
+
+You can also use the BDFR command-line tool directly:
+
+**Enter the container:**
+```bash
+docker exec -it bdfr-web-interface bash
+```
+
+**Run BDFR commands:**
+```bash
+# Download from a subreddit
+bdfr download /downloads --subreddit Python -L 10
+
+# Download from a user
+bdfr download /downloads --user reddituser --submitted -L 100
+
+# Archive posts
+bdfr archive /downloads --subreddit all -L 500
+
+# Clone (download + archive)
+bdfr clone /downloads --subreddit EarthPorn -L 50
+```
+
+**One-line BDFR commands:**
+```bash
+# Download without entering the container
+docker exec bdfr-web-interface bdfr download /downloads --subreddit Python -L 10
+
+# View BDFR version
+docker exec bdfr-web-interface bdfr --version
+
+# View BDFR help
+docker exec bdfr-web-interface bdfr download --help
+```
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Custom Port
+
+To run on a different port, modify [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml:11):
+
+```yaml
+ports:
+  - "3000:8000"  # Host port 3000, container port 8000
+```
+
+Or set the PORT environment variable:
+```env
+PORT=3000
+```
+
+### Custom Download Directory
+
+Mount a different host directory for downloads:
+
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - /path/to/your/downloads:/downloads
+  - ./data:/app/data
+```
+
+### BDFR Configuration File
+
+BDFR configuration is automatically stored in `./data/bdfr-config/`. You can customize it by creating `./data/bdfr-config/config.cfg`:
+
+```cfg
+[DEFAULT]
+client_id = your_client_id
+client_secret = your_client_secret
+scopes = identity, read, history, mysubreddits
+
+[bdfr]
+max_wait_time = 120
+time_format = %Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S
+```
+
+**Note:** BDFR will automatically create this directory and configuration file on first run.
+
+### Resource Limits
+
+Add resource constraints in [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml):
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  bdfr-web:
+    # ... other configuration ...
+    deploy:
+      resources:
+        limits:
+          cpus: '2'
+          memory: 2G
+        reservations:
+          cpus: '1'
+          memory: 512M
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Container Won't Start
+
+**Check logs:**
+```bash
+docker-compose logs bdfr-web
+```
+
+**Verify ports aren't in use:**
+```bash
+# Windows
+netstat -ano | findstr :8000
+
+# Linux/Mac
+lsof -i :8000
+```
+
+**Rebuild the image:**
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+docker-compose build --no-cache
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Permission Issues
+
+If you encounter permission errors with volumes:
+
+**Linux/Mac:**
+```bash
+sudo chown -R $USER:$USER downloads data config
+chmod -R 755 downloads data config
+```
+
+**Windows:**
+Ensure Docker Desktop has access to the drive where the project is located (Settings → Resources → File Sharing).
+
+### Downloads Not Appearing
+
+1. Check volume mounts are correct:
+   ```bash
+   docker inspect bdfr-web-interface | grep -A 10 Mounts
+   ```
+
+2. Verify download directory inside container:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec bdfr-web-interface ls -la /downloads
+   ```
+
+3. Check container logs for errors:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose logs -f bdfr-web
+   ```
+
+### Permission Denied Errors
+
+If you see errors like "Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/bdfr/default_config.cfg'":
+
+1. Verify the BDFR config directory exists and is writable:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec bdfr-web-interface ls -la /app/data/bdfr-config
+   ```
+
+2. Check environment variables are set correctly:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec bdfr-web-interface env | grep BDFR
+   ```
+
+3. If the directory doesn't exist or has wrong permissions:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   docker-compose up -d --build
+   ```
+
+### OAuth Authentication Issues
+
+1. Verify credentials in `.env` or [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml)
+2. Ensure redirect URI matches exactly: `http://localhost:8000/auth/callback`
+3. Check Reddit app settings at https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
+4. Restart container after changing credentials:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose restart
+   ```
+
+### High Memory Usage
+
+BDFR can use significant memory when downloading large files or many files simultaneously:
+
+1. Monitor memory usage:
+   ```bash
+   docker stats bdfr-web-interface
+   ```
+
+2. Add memory limits (see Resource Limits above)
+
+3. Reduce concurrent downloads by limiting the number of simultaneous operations
+
+### Database Locked Errors
+
+If you see SQLite database locked errors:
+
+1. Ensure only one instance is running:
+   ```bash
+   docker ps | grep bdfr
+   ```
+
+2. Stop all instances and restart:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Backing Up Data
+
+**Backup downloads and database:**
+```bash
+# Create backup directory
+mkdir -p backups
+
+# Backup downloads
+tar -czf backups/downloads-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz downloads/
+
+# Backup database
+cp -r data/ backups/data-$(date +%Y%m%d)/
+```
+
+**Automated backup script** (Linux/Mac):
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# backup.sh
+BACKUP_DIR="backups"
+DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
+
+mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
+tar -czf "$BACKUP_DIR/bdfr-backup-$DATE.tar.gz" downloads/ data/
+
+# Keep only last 7 days of backups
+find "$BACKUP_DIR" -name "bdfr-backup-*.tar.gz" -mtime +7 -delete
+```
+
+### Updating the Container
+
+**Pull latest changes:**
+```bash
+git pull origin main
+docker-compose down
+docker-compose build --no-cache
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+**Update only Docker image:**
+```bash
+docker-compose pull
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Cleaning Up
+
+**Remove stopped containers:**
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+**Remove containers and volumes:**
+```bash
+docker-compose down -v
+```
+
+**Remove images:**
+```bash
+docker-compose down --rmi all
+```
+
+**Full cleanup (including downloads):**
+```bash
+docker-compose down -v --rmi all
+rm -rf downloads/ data/
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Production Deployment
+
+For production use, consider:
+
+1. **Use HTTPS**: Set up a reverse proxy (nginx/Traefik) with SSL
+2. **Secure credentials**: Use Docker secrets or vault for sensitive data
+3. **Network isolation**: Use custom networks and restrict access
+4. **Regular updates**: Keep the container and dependencies updated
+5. **Monitor logs**: Set up log aggregation and monitoring
+6. **Backup strategy**: Implement automated backups
+
+### Example Nginx Reverse Proxy
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name bdfr.example.com;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+        
+        # WebSocket support
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Build Performance
+
+**Use BuildKit for faster builds:**
+```bash
+DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker-compose build
+```
+
+**Multi-stage build** is already implemented in the [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile) to minimize image size.
+
+### Runtime Performance
+
+1. **Allocate sufficient resources** (see Resource Limits)
+2. **Use SSD storage** for downloads directory
+3. **Optimize network** for faster downloads
+4. **Monitor container health**:
+   ```bash
+   docker inspect --format='{{.State.Health.Status}}' bdfr-web-interface
+   ```

+### Docker Deployment
+
+The BDFR Web Interface provides a complete Docker setup with both the CLI tool and web interface. This is the easiest way to get started:
+
+**Quick Start (Linux/Mac):**
+```bash
+chmod +x docker-quick-start.sh
+./docker-quick-start.sh
+```
+
+**Quick Start (Windows):**
+```cmd
+docker-quick-start.bat
+```
+
+**Manual Start:**
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+The web interface will be available at `http://localhost:8000`. All downloads are stored in the `./downloads` directory on your host machine.
+
+For detailed Docker documentation, including configuration, volume management, and troubleshooting, see [DOCKER.md](DOCKER.md).
+
+
 ## Usage

 The BDFR works by taking submissions from a variety of "sources" from Reddit and then parsing them to download. These sources might be a subreddit, multireddit, a user list, or individual links. These sources are combined and downloaded to disk, according to a naming and organisational scheme defined by the user.

+# Scheduled Downloads Feature
+
+## Overview
+
+The BDFR Web Interface now supports scheduled downloads, allowing users to configure downloads that run automatically on a daily basis. This feature is designed to work seamlessly in Docker containers and ensures sequential execution to prevent system overload.
+
+## Features
+
+### 1. **Daily Scheduling**
+- Tasks run once per day at a user-specified time
+- Time is specified in the user's local timezone and automatically converted to UTC for container execution
+- Automatically sets `time_filter="day"` to only download content from the last 24 hours
+- Always enables `no_dupes=True` to avoid re-downloading existing content
+
+### 2. **Sequential Execution**
+- Tasks are processed one at a time through a queue system
+- Manual "Run Now" tasks have priority over scheduled tasks
+- Queue status is displayed in real-time
+
+### 3. **Persistent Storage**
+- SQLite database stores task configurations
+- APScheduler job store ensures tasks persist across container restarts
+- Execution history tracked for each task
+
+### 4. **Full Task Management**
+- Create, enable/disable, and delete scheduled tasks
+- Run tasks manually on-demand
+- View last run and next scheduled run times
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Backend Components
+
+#### 1. **Database Models** (`web_interface/app/models.py`)
+- `ScheduledTask`: Stores task configuration
+  - Fields: name, source (subreddit/user), schedule, timezone, etc.
+  - Automatically sets time_filter="day" and no_dupes=True
+- `TaskExecutionHistory`: Tracks each execution
+  - Fields: task_id, status, items downloaded, errors, etc.
+
+#### 2. **Task Queue** (`web_interface/app/task_queue.py`)
+- `TaskQueue` class manages sequential execution
+- Priority queue: 0=scheduled, 1=manual
+- Blocks until each download completes before starting the next
+- Thread-safe using asyncio
+
+#### 3. **Scheduler Service** (`web_interface/app/scheduler.py`)
+- APScheduler with SQLAlchemy job store for persistence
+- Functions:
+  - `schedule_task()`: Creates cron job
+  - `queue_scheduled_task()`: Adds task to queue (called by scheduler)
+  - `execute_scheduled_task()`: Executes download and waits for completion
+  - `wait_for_download_completion()`: Polls every 5 seconds until done
+
+#### 4. **API Endpoints** (`web_interface/app/scheduled_tasks.py`)
+```
+POST   /api/scheduled-tasks          - Create task
+GET    /api/scheduled-tasks          - List all tasks
+GET    /api/scheduled-tasks/{id}     - Get specific task
+PUT    /api/scheduled-tasks/{id}     - Update task
+DELETE /api/scheduled-tasks/{id}     - Delete task
+POST   /api/scheduled-tasks/{id}/toggle - Enable/disable
+POST   /api/scheduled-tasks/{id}/run-now - Queue immediately
+GET    /api/scheduled-tasks/{id}/history - Execution history
+GET    /api/scheduled-tasks/queue/status - Queue status
+```
+
+### Frontend Components
+
+#### 1. **HTML** (`web_interface/templates/index.html`)
+- "Run Daily" checkbox in Advanced Options
+- Schedule configuration fields (task name, run time)
+- Scheduled Downloads section with task cards
+- Queue status badge
+
+#### 2. **JavaScript** (`web_interface/static/js/app.js`)
+- `loadScheduledTasks()`: Fetches and renders tasks
+- `createScheduledTask()`: Creates new scheduled task
+- `toggleTask()`, `deleteTask()`, `runTaskNow()`: Task management
+- `updateQueueStatus()`: Polls queue every 10 seconds
+- Auto-detects browser timezone via `Intl.DateTimeFormat()`
+
+#### 3. **CSS** (`web_interface/static/css/style.css`)
+- Task card styling with hover effects
+- Status badges (enabled/disabled)
+- Schedule options panel
+- Queue status badge
+
+## Usage Guide
+
+### Creating a Scheduled Download
+
+1. **Configure Download Settings**
+   - Select download mode (Download/Archive/Clone)
+   - Choose source type (Subreddit/User)
+   - Enter source name
+   - Set limit, sort, and other options
+
+2. **Enable Scheduling**
+   - Check "Run Daily" in Advanced Options
+   - Enter a task name (e.g., "Daily Python Posts")
+   - Select run time (24-hour format, in your local timezone)
+
+3. **Submit**
+   - Click "Start Download" to create the scheduled task
+   - Task appears in the Scheduled Downloads section
+   - First run scheduled for the specified time
+
+### Managing Scheduled Tasks
+
+Each task card shows:
+- Task name and source
+- Download mode
+- Schedule (daily at X time)
+- Last run and next run times
+- Status (Enabled/Disabled)
+
+**Actions:**
+- **Disable/Enable**: Toggle task on/off without deleting
+- **Run Now**: Add task to queue immediately (higher priority)
+- **Delete**: Remove task permanently
+
+### Queue System
+
+- Queue status badge shows number of tasks waiting
+- Tasks execute one at a time to prevent overload
+- Manual "Run Now" tasks have priority over scheduled tasks
+- Download progress appears in Progress section
+
+## Docker Deployment
+
+### Volume Mounts Required
+
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - ./downloads:/downloads          # Downloaded files
+  - ./data:/app/data                # Database and job store
+```
+
+### Database Location
+- SQLite: `/app/data/scheduled_tasks.db`
+- APScheduler job store: Same database
+
+### Timezone Handling
+- User specifies time in their local timezone
+- Frontend auto-detects timezone via JavaScript
+- Backend converts to UTC for container execution
+- Cron jobs run at correct local time regardless of container timezone
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Sequential Execution Flow
+
+1. APScheduler triggers at scheduled time
+2. Scheduler calls `queue_scheduled_task(task_id)`
+3. Task added to queue with priority 0
+4. Queue worker picks up task
+5. `execute_scheduled_task()` called
+6. Downloads via existing BDFR API
+7. `wait_for_download_completion()` polls every 5s
+8. Once complete, queue processes next task
+9. Execution history recorded
+
+### Time Filter Logic
+
+For scheduled tasks:
+- `time_filter` is automatically set to "day"
+- This filters Reddit API to only return posts from last 24 hours
+- Combined with daily scheduling, ensures only new content downloaded
+- Prevents re-downloading old content
+
+### Duplicate Prevention
+
+For scheduled tasks:
+- `no_dupes` is automatically enabled
+- Uses existing BDFR duplicate detection
+- Checks file hashes or URLs (depending on simple_check setting)
+- Skips files that already exist
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Basic Functionality
+- [ ] Create scheduled task via "Run Daily" checkbox
+- [ ] Task appears in Scheduled Downloads section
+- [ ] Task name, source, and schedule displayed correctly
+- [ ] Enable/disable toggle works
+- [ ] Delete removes task
+
+### Execution
+- [ ] Manual "Run Now" triggers download immediately
+- [ ] Download progress appears in Progress section
+- [ ] Task completes successfully
+- [ ] Execution history recorded
+
+### Sequential Processing
+- [ ] Queue multiple tasks via "Run Now"
+- [ ] Tasks execute one at a time (not concurrent)
+- [ ] Queue badge shows correct count
+- [ ] Manual tasks execute before scheduled tasks
+
+### Persistence
+- [ ] Restart container/server
+- [ ] Tasks still present after restart
+- [ ] Scheduled jobs still execute at correct time
+- [ ] Execution history preserved
+
+### Timezone Handling
+- [ ] Create task with different timezone
+- [ ] Task runs at correct local time
+- [ ] Next run time displays in user's timezone
+
+### Edge Cases
+- [ ] Create task with invalid source name
+- [ ] Disable task, verify it doesn't run
+- [ ] Enable disabled task
+- [ ] Delete task while it's running
+- [ ] Run same task multiple times quickly
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tasks Not Running
+1. Check container logs for scheduler errors
+2. Verify `/app/data` volume is mounted
+3. Check database file permissions
+4. Verify APScheduler is running (`scheduler.running()`)
+
+### Queue Stuck
+1. Check task_queue status in logs
+2. Verify WebSocket connection for progress updates
+3. Restart container to reset queue
+
+### Timezone Issues
+1. Verify browser timezone detection in DevTools
+2. Check conversion in scheduler logs
+3. Ensure container has correct UTC time
+
+### Database Issues
+1. Check `/app/data/scheduled_tasks.db` exists
+2. Verify write permissions
+3. Use SQLite browser to inspect tables
+4. Check for migration errors in logs
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements:
+- [ ] Weekly scheduling option
+- [ ] Custom time filters (last 3 days, last week, etc.)
+- [ ] Email notifications on completion/failure
+- [ ] Retry logic for failed tasks
+- [ ] Task templates for quick setup
+- [ ] Bulk operations (enable/disable multiple tasks)
+- [ ] Advanced schedule expressions (cron syntax)
+- [ ] Export/import task configurations
+- [ ] Task execution statistics and charts
+- [ ] Pause/resume queue
