# IMPORTANT NOTES:
# 1) UID/GID and folders setup:
# By default the youtarr service runs as ROOT (UID 0, GID 0) for compatibility with existing setups.
# For improved security, you can set YOUTARR_UID and YOUTARR_GID environment variables to run the container as a non-root user.
# If you do so, ensure that the following directories to exist on the host with the correct ownership/permissions before
# starting the container:
# - ./config
# - ./jobs
# - ./server/images
# - <YOUTUBE_OUTPUT_DIR> (as specified in environment variable)
# Docker will create these directories as ROOT if they do not exist!
#
# To create and set ownership/permissions, you can use the following commands:
# Example (using example YOUTUBE_OUTPUT_DIR of /path/to/youtube_videos and YOUTARR_UID/GID of 1000/1000):
# mkdir -p config jobs server/images /path/to/youtube_videos
# sudo chown -R 1000:1000 config jobs server/images /path/to/youtube_videos
#
# 2) Database setup notes:
# The default bundled MariaDB uses ./database as a bind mount for backwards compatibility.
# On Docker Desktop (Windows/macOS), ARM hosts, and some NAS/virtualized filesystems,
