# Metadata-provider keys for Jellyfin on Dankserver, placed from the service's
# host env file with the plugin artifact pinned by content hash.
#
# Jellyfin 12 ships TMDb, OMDb, StudioImages and MusicBrainz as CORE plugins:
# they have no DLL, only a configuration file under the data root, and that
# file is created by the running container. So the fleet's provider state lives
# in two places the repo does not track —
#
# plugins/configurations/Jellyfin.Plugin.Tmdb.xml (empty = keyless)
# plugins/configurations/Jellyfin.Plugin.Tvdb.xml (needs the plugin)
#
# and both are owned by the container user. This tool is the only thing that
# writes them: it is declarative, idempotent, and it never prints a key, so it
# is safe to run while someone watches.
#
# Keys never enter git and never enter argv (a value in argv is world-readable
# through /proc//cmdline). They live in the per-service host env file that
# is the fleet's convention for container credentials (grafana, caddy, pihole,
# copyparty, romm, seerr), mode 600:
#
# /home/dank/Containers/jellyfin/provider-keys
# TMDB_API_KEY=
# TVDB_API_KEY=
# TVDB_PIN= # optional: only a subscriber-shaped TVDB key
# # needs one; a licensed key does not
#
# TVDB itself is not core in 12 (the metadata provider was cut in 10.9), so it
# is installed from the official catalog, pinned three ways: sha256 of the
# artifact, the plugin's own guid, and its version. A matching sha proves only
# that the bytes are the bytes fetched — the guid check is what says it is the
# official plugin, the version check is what says it is the one this file was
# reviewed against.
#
# Subcommands
# plan print the resolved shape and every pending change, touch nothing
# install fetch+verify the plugin, then write the keys (backing up first)
# verify prove the plugin and both keys are actually in place
#
# Nothing here restarts Jellyfin: the deployer owns that
# (`scripts/deploy.sh dankserver --service jellyfin`), and the plugin is read at
# start-up, so a key written while the server runs is not live until then.
