DB/model
Add Conversion model + ConversionStatus enum (pending, processing, ready, failed)
Alembic migrations: create conversions table, indexes, unique (source_event_media_id, target_format, file_hash), and NOT NULL on file_hash
API
Enqueue on upload (ppt|pptx|odp) in routes/eventmedia.py: compute sha256, upsert Conversion, enqueue job
New routes:
POST /api/conversions/<media_id>/pdf — ensure/enqueue conversion
GET /api/conversions/<media_id>/status — latest status/details
GET /api/files/converted/<path> — serve converted PDFs
Register conversions blueprint in wsgi
Worker
server/worker.py: convert_event_media_to_pdf
Calls Gotenberg /forms/libreoffice/convert, writes to server/media/converted/
Updates Conversion status, timestamps, error messages
Fix media root resolution to /server/media
Prefer function enqueue over string path; expose server.worker in package init for RQ string compatibility
Queue/infra
server/task_queue.py: RQ queue helper (REDIS_URL, default redis://redis:6379/0)
docker-compose:
Add redis and gotenberg services
Add worker service (rq worker conversions)
Pass REDIS_URL and GOTENBERG_URL to server/worker
Mount shared media volume in prod for API/worker parity
docker-compose.override:
Add dev redis/gotenberg/worker services
Ensure PYTHONPATH + working_dir allow importing server.worker
Use rq CLI instead of python -m rq for worker
Dashboard dev: run as appropriate user/root and pre-create/chown caches to avoid EACCES
Dashboard dev UX
Vite: set cacheDir .vite to avoid EACCES in node_modules
Disable Node inspector by default to avoid port conflicts
Docs
Update copilot-instructions.md with conversion system: flow, services, env vars, endpoints, storage paths, and data model
- Add AcademicPeriod model with support for schuljahr/semester/trimester
- Extend Event and EventMedia models with optional academic_period_id
- Create Alembic migration (8d1df7199cb7) for academic periods system
- Add init script for Austrian school year defaults (2024/25-2026/27)
- Maintain full backward compatibility for existing events/media
- Update program-info.json to version 2025.1.0-alpha.6
Database changes:
- New academic_periods table with unique name constraint
- Foreign key relationships with proper indexing
- Support for multiple period types with single active period
This lays the foundation for period-based organization of events
and media content, specifically designed for school environments
with future extensibility for universities.
