Took me a while but there seams to be a small issue

[red@nixos:~/youcube-server]$ nix run
error: unable to execute '/nix/store/ykwxgqxqpnzrjkfz4x64fa7hihccz0vk-youcube-20230806/bin/youcube': No such file or directory

I changed makeWrapper ${pkgs.python3}/bin/python3 $out/bin/youcube-server \ to makeWrapper ${pkgs.python3}/bin/python3 $out/bin/youcube \ as a quick workaround but now i encountered another issue. The server needs to be able to write the media files to some place. If it is needed to change the path, I could make an env var out of it.

This could be fixed by changing the package's pname or setting the meta.mainProgram variable.

The server needs to be able to write the media files to some place. If it is needed to change the path, I could make an env var out of it.

Normally, data should get written out to /var on POSIX-compliant systems. I think an environment variable would be good, but we may want to consider changing the default as well.

I will make an env var out of it. I was thinking about making the default a temp folder as the data folder is currently only used as a media cache and Using something like /var/lib/youcube would need a windows counter part.

Could you fix it ? as you have more experience with nix :)

Good idea, I didn't know it was all temporary data :)
