# JW Library Sync System: Architecture & Roadmap **Date:** 2026-03-31 **Core Stack:** Android (Tablet/Phone), Tasker, AutoInput, GitSync, Gitea, n8n, jwlFusion. --- ## ## SYSTEM OVERVIEW ### 1. Local Backup (Tablet & Phone) * **Trigger:** Time-based (04:30 AM Tablet / 04:35 AM Phone). * **Action:** Tasker copies the `.jwlibrary` export from the app's export location to the local `vault` directory. * **Sync:** Tasker uses **AutoInput** to: 1. Launch GitSync. 2. Click the "Sync" or "Push" button for the `vault` repository. 3. Wait for the notification/UI change indicating success. ### 2. Central Merge (The "Global Truth") * **Trigger:** Tablet at 04:45 AM. * **Action:** Tasker sends an **HTTP POST** to the n8n webhook (`bunny-wyvern.ts.net`). * **n8n Logic:** 1. SSH into the server. 2. Pull all branch updates from Gitea. 3. Run `jwlFusion` to merge device backups into `master.jwlibrary`. 4. Commit and Push the merged file back to Gitea. 5. Return a `200 OK` "Sync successful" message to Tasker. ### 3. Restoration (Sync Back) * **Action:** Upon receiving the `200 OK`, Tasker triggers the `RestoreFromMaster` task. * **Logic:** GitSync pulls the latest `master.jwlibrary`, and Tasker (via AutoInput or intent) imports it back into the JW Library app. --- ## ## CURRENT CONFIGURATION (POST-INTENT DEPRECATION) * **GitSync:** Bypassing Intent issues by using **AutoInput** to physically click the sync buttons. * **Storage:** Vault is located at `/storage/emulated/0/vault` (Shared Storage). * **Git Settings:** "Safe Directory" and "Credential Store" have been configured in the environment to prevent ownership/password prompts. --- ## ## TO-DO LIST (FOR TOMORROW) - [ ] **AutoInput Optimization:** Refine the "Click" sequence in Tasker to ensure it handles the screen being off (using `Turn On` and `Dismiss Keyguard` actions). - [ ] **Validation Check:** Run a manual end-to-end test: 1. Manually trigger Tablet Sync. 2. Manually trigger Phone Sync. 3. Manually trigger n8n Webhook via Tasker. - [ ] **Error Handling:** Add a Tasker "Else" condition for the HTTP Request—if n8n returns an error, send a Join/Gotify notification so you know the merge failed. - [ ] **Gitea Cleanup:** Verify the `.gitignore` in the `vault` folder is correctly ignoring temporary `.tmp` files created during the export process. - [ ] **Staggering Review:** Confirm if 5 minutes is enough buffer for the Phone to finish its push before the Tablet initiates the Merge Script. --- ## ## FINAL SYSTEM LOGIC (4:30 AM SEQUENCE) 1. **04:30** (Tablet): Tasker -> AutoInput (GitSync Push). 2. **04:35** (Phone): Tasker -> AutoInput (GitSync Push). 3. **04:45** (Tablet): Tasker -> HTTP Request (n8n Webhook). 4. **On Success**: Tasker -> Perform Task (RestoreFromMaster). # DETAILS ## PROJECT: Automated JW Library Multi-Device Sync (via Gitea/n8n) **Status:** In Progress (Active Debugging Phase) **User Persona:** INTJ (Prefers logic-first, no-fluff, technical precision) --- ### 1. THE ARCHITECTURE The goal is to sync JW Library backups (.jwlibrary) across multiple Android devices using a central "Master" merge script. * **Source Devices:** Android Tablet & Phone. * **Storage:** Local Git "Vault" folder at `/storage/emulated/0/vault`. * **Git Client:** GitSync (Android App). * **Remote:** Self-hosted Gitea instance. * **Orchestration:** n8n (running on `bunny-wyvern.ts.net`). * **Merge Logic:** `jwlFusion` script on the server. --- ### 2. TECHNICAL HURDLES & CURRENT FIXES * **Termux Plugin Failure:** The `Termux:Tasker` plugin failed with "Missing/Disabled Receiver" errors (likely due to Android 14 security or Play Store/F-Droid version mismatch). We abandoned Termux scripts for now. * **GitSync Intent Failure:** Attempted to trigger GitSync via `com.viscouspot.gitsync.action.SYNC` intents, but the app did not respond to background broadcasts. * **Current Solution:** Using **Tasker + AutoInput**. Tasker wakes the device, opens the GitSync UI, and AutoInput physically clicks "Sync" to ensure the push/pull happens. --- ### 3. THE DAILY TIMELINE (SCHEDULED) * **04:30 AM (Tablet):** Tasker triggers. AutoInput clicks through GitSync to push the latest local backup to its own branch on Gitea. * **04:35 AM (Phone):** Same process. Pushes its unique backup to its own branch. * **04:45 AM (Tablet - Master Trigger):** 1. Tasker sends an **HTTP POST** to the n8n Webhook. 2. **n8n Workflow:** * SSH into the server. * Pull all device branches. * Run `jwlFusion` to merge everything into `master.jwlibrary`. * Push `master.jwlibrary` to the `master` branch. 3. **Restoration:** Once n8n returns `200 OK`, the Tablet (and later the Phone) triggers a "Restore" task to pull the new `master` and import it into JW Library. --- ### 4. AGENT "TO-DO" LIST (FOR NEXT SESSION) 1. **Refine AutoInput:** Ensure the "Sync" clicks are robust (handling screen-off states or unexpected popups). 2. **n8n Webhook Verification:** Confirm the n8n SSH node is correctly executing the `jwlFusion` command and handling Git conflicts. 3. **Restore Logic:** Finalize the Tasker task that takes the pulled `master.jwlibrary` and automates the "Import" into the JW Library app. 4. **Race Condition Check:** Verify the 5-minute stagger between devices is sufficient for GitSync to finish its network operations. --- ### 5. REFERENCE DATA * **Vault Path:** `/storage/emulated/0/vault` * **n8n Webhook:** `http://n8n.bunny-wyvern.ts.net:5678/webhook/sync-jw-backup` * **Personality Context:** User is an INTJ. Provide direct, technical solutions. No fluff.
