Welcome to the official repository for thediscdb.com — a web-based cataloging tool designed to document the contents of physical movie discs (Blu-ray, UHD, and DVD). Built to complement MakeMKV, this site helps users identify and organize disc titles, chapters, and metadata.

To run the site locally, you'll need the following tools installed:

• Docker Desktop configured to run Linux containers
• Visual Studio 2022+ with ASP.NET and container development workloads
• .NET SDK 9.0

1. Clone the repositories

   git clone https://github.com/TheDiscDb/web.git
   git clone https://github.com/TheDiscDb/data.git
   

   The data repository is used to seed the local database with items

2. Configure Database Migration

   Edit /code/TheDiscDb.DatabaseMigration/appsettings.json with the path to your cloned data repo above. You can also the MaxItemsToImportPerMediaType to change the number of items that are seeded in the database. Note: Larger numbers will cause the site to startup to take longer the first time

3. Open /code/TheDiscDb.sln in Visual Studio

4. With the TheDiscDb.AppHost project set as the startup project - start the project in Visual Studio. The first time you run it may take a while to start up while Aspire downloads containers and the database is seeded.

TODO: Provide a command line only way to clone and run the site
