✍️ Description

Adds AIOMetadata (cedya77/aiometadata), a Stremio metadata addon that aggregates movie, series and anime data from TMDB, TVDB, Fanart.tv, MyAnimeList, AniList, Trakt and others. It is built from the release source tarball (Node 24, npm ci, npm run build and build:backend) and runs as a systemd service. Local Redis, password-protected, is installed via apt as the cache, since there is no setup_redis helper. The .env and the SQLite DB live in /opt/aiometadata_data, outside the directory CLEAN_INSTALL wipes, so the update needs no backup/restore step. Tested by creating the container and opening /configure.

✅ Prerequisites (X in brackets)

  • Self-review completed – Code follows project standards.
  • Tested thoroughly – Changes work as expected.
  • No breaking changes – Existing functionality remains intact.
  • No security risks – No hardcoded secrets, unnecessary privilege escalations, or permission issues.

🏗️ arm64 Support (X in brackets)

  • arm64 supported - Tested and supported on arm64.
  • arm64 not tested - Assumed to work on arm64, but testing has not been done.
  • arm64 not supported - Confirmed upstream dependencies or binaries do not support arm64.

var_arm64 is left commented out. The app is pure Node with no native prebuilt binaries, but it has not been run on arm64.


🖥️ Tested on (X in brackets)

  • Proxmox VE – Created on a Proxmox VE host and the app works.
  • Incus – Created on an Incus host and the app works.

Application containers run on both; tick what you actually tested. VMs and host tools are Proxmox only.


🛠️ Type of Change (X in brackets)

  • 🐞 Bug fix – Resolves an issue without breaking functionality.
  • ✨ New feature – Adds new, non-breaking functionality.
  • 💥 Breaking change – Alters existing functionality in a way that may require updates.
  • 🆕 New script – A fully functional and tested script or script set.
  • 🌍 Website update – Changes to website-related JSON files or metadata.
  • 🔧 Refactoring / Code Cleanup – Improves readability or maintainability without changing functionality.
  • 📝 Documentation update – Changes to README, AppName.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, or other docs.

🔍 Code & Security Review (X in brackets)

  • Follows CODE-AUDIT.md & CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines
  • Uses correct script structure (AppName.sh, AppName-install.sh, AppName.json)
  • No hardcoded credentials
  • No Docker / Docker Compose – The application is installed bare-metal; Docker is not used.
  • No git pull – Updates use fetch_and_deploy_gh_release, fetch_and_deploy_codeberg_release, fetch_and_deploy_gl_release, or fetch_and_deploy_from_url instead of git pull.

📋 Additional Information (optional)

The ADMIN_KEY and the Redis password are generated at install (openssl rand -hex 24) and written to /opt/aiometadata_data/.env. The systemd unit sets UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=16 and DOTENV_CONFIG_QUIET=true, the same runtime env vars as upstream's Dockerfile.

Stremio metadata addon (cedya77/aiometadata) aggregating TMDB, TVDB,
Fanart.tv, MyAnimeList/Jikan, AniList, Trakt and SimKL into one
configurable catalog/metadata source. Built from source (npm) like
AIOStreams, with a local password-protected Redis cache and SQLite for
config/auth storage relocated to /opt/aiometadata_data so updates
(CLEAN_INSTALL wipes /opt/aiometadata) never touch it - no
create_backup/restore_backup needed.

Verified against the actual v2.17.2 release tag (not the dev branch,
which is mid-rewrite on v5.x): confirmed via source that DATABASE_URI
accepts an absolute sqlite:// path, Redis is a soft dependency (logs
errors, doesn't crash without it, per addon/lib/redisClient.ts), and
no build toolchain is needed (upstream's own Dockerfile builds on
Alpine with plain `npm ci`, no python3/make/g++, and ghcr.io publishes
official multi-arch amd64+arm64 images) - hence var_arm64=yes here too,
on the same "official multi-arch, not independently verified by this
script's author" basis as AIOStreams.

Note: upstream is at 452 GitHub stars as of this commit, below this
repo's 600-star bar for new script PRs - flagging for whoever reviews
this before it goes upstream.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Checked every AIOStreams PR-review lesson against AIOMetadata before
assuming it applies: no corepack (npm, not pnpm), no jq usage anywhere
in this script, no build toolchain needed (confirmed again - upstream's
Dockerfile still builds on plain Alpine with no compiler), and no FUSE
feature exists in this codebase, so var_fuse doesn't apply here. Data
persistence and the check_for_gh_release/fetch_and_deploy_gh_release
"v" tag_prefix pattern were already done correctly from the start.

One real miss, found by rereading upstream's Dockerfile with the same
scrutiny that caught AIOStreams' NODE_OPTIONS gap: it sets
UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=16 (libuv thread pool size - this addon does a lot
of concurrent I/O: cache warming, MAL/TMDB/Trakt fetches, image
proxying) and DOTENV_CONFIG_QUIET=true (every addon/lib/*.ts file calls
require('dotenv').config() with no path override, so with no .env at
cwd - our .env lives in /opt/aiometadata_data, not /opt/aiometadata -
this suppresses dotenv's log noise the same way it does in upstream's
own container, which also injects env vars rather than shipping a
physical .env file). Added both to the systemd unit.

Try this script

ct/aiometadata.sh, run in the Proxmox VE shell or on an Incus host:

COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MrNRod/DevScripts/aiometadata-lxc \
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MrNRod/DevScripts/aiometadata-lxc/ct/aiometadata.sh)"

COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_URL is not optional for ct/. Fetching the ct/ script from a
branch does not tell the engine where that branch is — with bash -c "$(curl …)"
there is no file on disk for the scripts root to be derived from, so it would fall
back to upstream main and look for the install script there.

Against a core branch as well

Add COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_CORE_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWNER/core/BRANCH
to test an engine change at the same time. The two resolve independently.

Useful flags while testing

dev_mode=net logs every fetch with status and duration, so you can confirm the
branch is really being used. dev_mode=keep stops a failed build from deleting
the container along with the evidence.
