defining DEFAULT_SERVERS as Docker Enviroment Variable won't work

[hofq]

Description of the bug

I cant get the DEFAULT_SERVERS variable to work.

If i define it i just have the prompt to enter my Server without any selection or button for the defined one

Steps to reproduce

1. docker pull ghcr.io/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue:unstable.2022-08-10.c526428
2. Run the Container with -e DEFAULT_SERVERS="https://my-instance.domain"
3. No change

Expected behavior

I should be able to select my Server with 1 click, or don't even get to the selection screen

Additional context

I run both (Jellyfin & Jellyfin-vue-static) in Docker Containers on my Unraid-Host.

For my Jellyfin-vue i use the official unstable one from ghcr (Specific one in "Steps to Reproduce")

My Jellyfin-Server uses binhex/arch-jellyfin, but with manual entry of the Server everything works fine

I'll investigate this, but that should easily be fixed. Do you happen to know a date where it worked?

I should also document this feature in the README

[hofq]

Sadly no, i tried it the first time but it seems like a thing that should work normally so i assumed it was a bug

[ThibaultNocchi]

Ok so I looked into it. It was implemented in #1698 and the environment variable needs to be specified at build time and not runtime.

So either it needs to be a new feature or not considered as needed, but at least the current one should work as expected.

The feature the way you're expecting it to work would be a little bit different to implement than currently. Once the docker image is built, it's all HTML and JS, so we'd need something like a JSON written at runtime into the container and that is fetched by the client. Honestly I don't really know, but that could be investigated for sure.

Expect to force the client to automatically redirect the specified server by specifying the default server mode without requiring the user to enter it manually.

[DesertCookie]

As I understand it, there currently is no way to dynamically specify a default server with Docker variables. Instead, one has to build his own Docker image. Is that correct?

[ferferga]

@DesertCookie Yes, but this is already fixed in my local branch of #1812

[DesertCookie]

@ferferga So this will be fixed in the near future?

Otherwise I'll look into finally learning ho to build my own Docker images :).

[ferferga]

@DesertCookie Major stuff is already done (I'm already with the login screen working) but a lot is still pending and I need to focus in studies.

So no ETA, but hopefully before Christmas season.

[DesertCookie]

@ferferga No preassure. Thanks for the info.

We are looking into using Jellyfin to stream our indie movies to crowdfunders and would love to use the more modern look of the Vue UI. But of course we can't expect our backers to always type in the backend server URL.

[hofq]

So no ETA, but hopefully before Christmas season.

is there a ray of hope at the end of the tunnel? Would be really cool if this would work

[ferferga]

@hofq Check the 5th point at #1812

[hofq]

Wow! You made it! Thanks for your help and all the work that went into porting it to vue 3 🎉 @ferferga
