attrakttv

Just a packaged shiny app relying on {tRakt} to get data out of https://trakt.tv and display it nicely.

You can find it currently deployed at attrakttv.tadaa-data.de.

Please open an issue if you encounter crashes.

Installation

You can install the latest version of attrakttv from GitHub:

remotes::install("jemus42/attrakttv")

Usage (Local)

The app needs both credentials for the trakt.tv and the fanart.tv API, see attrakttv.env-sample for reference. Plug in your keys and either rename the file to .Renviron in the current working directory or copy these values to your user/global .Renviron.

Then you can call attrakttv::attrakttv_app() and try to add a show, which will then hopefully open a browser window displaying a trakt.tv PIN for you to enter at the R console.
You can also achieve this by calling any data-retrieving function from the {tRakt} package.

The the downloaded show data is stored in a SQLite database located under ~/.local/attrakttv/db/tRakt.db by default, but you can change that value via the aforementioned configuration file.

Usage (Docker)

Since this thing requires API keys for both https://trakt.tv and https://fanart.tv, you'll need to create accounts and get credentials for those first.
Copy the file via cp attrakttv.env-sample attrakttv.env and plug in your values.

Next you'll need to create a {httr} OAuth2 token. The easiest way is to call some function from {tRakt} that uses the trakt.tv API (e.g. tRakt::search_query("Counterpart")) which will then prompt you for an authentication PIN and open a corresponding browser window. Once set up, the token should be located at .httr-oauth.

Once both attrakttv.env and .httr-oauth you can run

docker build -t attrakttv .
docker run --rm -p 3838:3838 --run-as=shiny attrakttv

And the app will be running at localhost:3838.

Note that currently the SQLite database is ephemeral.
You can use docker-compose with the included docker-compose.yml which will put the database in a volume called trakt_db. This is mapped to a local volume you have to define via environment variable set in .env, so cp .env-sample .env and plug in your desired path (which must exist).

Regarding the volume thing: This was helpful
