Libraries

Learn how to add, edit and delete MetaLibraries in WrangleBot.

In this tab you can view, edit and delete MetaLibraries that are hosted by your WrangleBot in your Vault.

Creating MetaLibraries

To create a MetaLibrary click on the "Create Library" button. In the next panel that opens, you must enter a name of the MetaLibrary, this is it's unique ID. It can not be changed, so it should be a clear identifier, usually this will be your project ID or codename.

Next choose a path to the base folder of the library, if you are not using a singular base folder but need to aggregate from multiple sources, this should be your root folder for the project files.

Update the JSON in the droplets column to match your media owner and add any data you might require to be attached or ignore it for now. (Droplets are an experimental feature.)

⚠️ The base folder must be located on an external drive and can not be the /users/ or /home/ folder and may not be a sub-folder of another library.

Editing MetaLibraries

To edit a MetaLibrary, click the "Edit" button on the respective Library.

You can change the path to the library, update the Droplets of the MetaLibrary and modify the folders in the base folder.

The Folders column is exactly the same component, that you are used to using in the Ingest tab.

Deleting MetaLibraries

To delete a MetaLibrary click the "Edit" button of the respective Library and then click "Delete Library" at the top right. You must have the admin role to be able to delete a MetaLibrary.
