How It Works
- Tauri starts → spawns
batchtube-serversidecar (PyInstaller bundle) - Rust polls
http://localhost:8765/api/healthevery 500ms - When server ready → shows webview window loading
http://localhost:8765 - User sees the existing BatchTube web UI inside a native window
- On close → Tauri kills the sidecar process
Build
Prerequisites
- Rust (stable)
- Node.js 22+
- Python 3.11+
- PyInstaller:
pip install pyinstaller
Development
# Start Python backend first
cd backend && python api_server.py &
# Then start Tauri dev mode
npm run dev
Production Build
# Bundle Python backend
cd backend && pyinstaller batchtube-server.spec
# Build Tauri app
npm run build
Cross-Platform (CI/CD)
Push a tag v1.x.x to trigger GitHub Actions build for:
- Windows (.exe + .msi)
- macOS (.dmg — Intel + Apple Silicon)
- Linux (.AppImage + .deb)
Rollback Plan
If Tauri build fails at any point:
bash rollback.sh
This reverts to the v1.0-pre-tauri git tag.
The original NSIS Windows installer remains at BatchTube App/BatchTube-Windows-Build.zip.
Pricing Integration
License validation happens at app startup via http://localhost:8765/api/license.
ThriveCart webhook at https://n8n.intentures.org/webhook/thrivecart handles purchase events.
