New Documentation

Fixed​

Development Environment

  • Database authentication issues during setup
  • Missing environment variables in .env.development.example
  • Backend dependencies (added cryptography package)

User Interface

  • EditSessionModal scrolling when Mux platform fields are displayed
  • Session form validation for platform-specific fields

Changed​

Data Model Updates

  • Session model extended with streaming platform fields (streaming_platform, zoom_meeting_id, zoom_passcode, mux_playback_policy)
  • Organization model extended with encrypted Mux credential fields
  • Session creation/editing UI redesigned for multi-platform streaming

Installation Requirements

  • Two environment files now required: .env (Docker Compose) and .env.development (backend app)
  • New ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable required for secure credential storage
  • Generate with: python -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"

Platform Highlights​

Vimeo​

Simple, reliable video embedding for pre-recorded content and live streams. Vimeo automatically converts live streams to VOD at the same URL.

Use when: You already host on Vimeo or need straightforward video embedding with no additional setup

Mux PUBLIC​

Professional live streaming and VOD with detailed analytics. Anyone with the link can watch.

Use when: You want detailed analytics but don't need to prevent link sharing

Mux SIGNED​

Secure live streaming and VOD with comprehensive analytics. Token-based access prevents unauthorized sharing.

Use when: You need to ensure complete analytics tracking or protect premium content

Features:

  • Detailed viewer analytics (who, when, duration) - same as PUBLIC
  • Token-based security with automatic expiration
  • Prevents link sharing that could bypass analytics
  • Optional domain restrictions for additional security

Zoom​

Live, interactive meetings with two-way audio and video.

Use when: You need real-time audience participation, Q&A, or workshops

Migration Notes​

For Existing Installations:

  1. Update environment files:

    • Ensure you have both .env and .env.development files (see updated installation guide)
    • Add ENCRYPTION_KEY to .env.development
    • Generate key: python -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"

  2. Existing Vimeo sessions:

    • All existing sessions with stream URLs will continue to work
    • Vimeo is now one of three platform options

  3. Database migrations:

    • Automatic migrations will run on first backend startup
    • Adds new streaming platform fields to sessions and organizations tables

  4. Content Security Policy:

    • CSP is pre-configured for streaming platforms in frontend/csp-header.conf
    • Self-hosted deployments: Update production domains (storage.sbtl.dev, avatars.atria.gg, wss://atria.gg) to match your infrastructure
    • Streaming platform rules (Vimeo, Mux, Zoom) work as-is

No breaking changes - existing deployments will upgrade seamlessly.
