Migration Path for Users

If Currently Using v2 (CLI-only)

1. Backup your database:

   cp /var/lib/reencode/state.db /var/lib/reencode/state.db.backup
   

2. Update config file:

   # v3 config is compatible, just update paths if needed
   cp config-v2.yaml config.yaml
   # Edit config.yaml to match v3 format (add quality_check section)
   

3. Pull new Docker image or update files:

   docker pull encoderpro:latest
   

4. Access web dashboard:

   http://localhost:5000
   

If Currently Using v3

No action needed! Files were just renamed:

• reencode-v3.py → reencode.py
• config-v3.yaml → config.yaml

---

Breaking Changes

None

This cleanup is backward compatible. The application functionality remains identical - only file names were changed to remove version suffixes.

Docker users: New images will work with existing volumes and configurations.

CLI users: Update any scripts that reference reencode-v3.py to use reencode.py.

---

Benefits

1. Simplified naming - No version suffixes on main files
2. Cleaner project - Legacy code archived, not deleted
3. Better documentation - Modern README focused on current features
4. Docker optimization - All config examples included in image
5. Future-proof - v4+ will continue using reencode.py (no more renaming)

---

Rollback Instructions

If you need to restore old versions:

# Restore v2 files
cp .archive/old-versions/reencode-v2.py reencode.py
cp .archive/old-versions/config-v2.yaml config.yaml

# Or just access archived files directly
python .archive/old-versions/reencode-v2.py -c .archive/old-versions/config-v2.yaml

---

Next Steps

1. Rebuild Docker images:

   docker build -t encoderpro:latest .
   docker build -f Dockerfile.intel -t encoderpro:intel .
   

2. Test deployment:

   docker-compose up -d
   

3. Verify dashboard:

   • Access http://localhost:5000
   • Run library scan
   • Test encoding

4. Update documentation links:

   • Update README badges
   • Update GitHub release notes
   • Update Docker Hub description

---

Archive Policy

• Kept: All old versions for rollback capability
• Location: .archive/old-versions/
• Retention: Indefinite (can be deleted after 6 months if stable)

---

Version History

• v1.0 - Initial bash script (not in repo)
• v2.0 - Python CLI with state tracking
• v3.0 - Added quality checking, profiles
• v3.1 - Web dashboard, selective re-encoding
• Current - Consolidated, web-focused application
