Dragonflight - self-hosted broadcast media asset management. SRT/RTMP/SDI ingest via Blackmagic DeckLink, FFmpeg proxy generation, growing-file editing via SMB + Premiere Pro CEP panel, BullMQ job queue, S3-compatible storage (RustFS). Replaces Grass Valley AMPP FramelightX.
Two bugs fixed:
1. SDI capture sidecar never had /dev/blackmagic bound — ffmpeg opened the
decklink input inside a container with no device nodes, so frame=0.
Fix: local spawns now push '/dev/blackmagic:/dev/blackmagic' onto Binds
when source_type='sdi'.
2. recorders.js always spawned sidecars against the local Docker socket
(zampp1), even when a recorder's node_id pointed at zampp2 (where the
card is). Fix: resolveNodeTarget() looks up the recorder's cluster node;
if it's a different hostname the sidecar is spawned via a new
POST /sidecar/start endpoint on the remote node-agent.
node-agent gains three new routes (all talk to the local Docker socket):
POST /sidecar/start — create + start container (host network,
privileged, /dev/blackmagic bind for sdi)
DELETE /sidecar/:id — stop + remove
GET /sidecar/:id/status — inspect + poll capture service
docker-compose.worker.yml: add /var/run/docker.sock and LIVE_DIR to
node-agent so it can spawn sidecars, and document build-capture prerequisite.: recorders.js

| mam-api | 3000 | REST API — assets, projects, bins, jobs |
| capture | 3001 | SDI capture daemon (Blackmagic DeckLink + FFmpeg) |
| worker | — | Async job processor (proxy gen, thumbnails, conform) |
| db | 5432 | PostgreSQL 16 metadata store |
| queue | 6379 | Redis 7 job queue (BullMQ) |

Architecture
SDI Input (DeckLink) → capture service → dual FFmpeg streams
├─ HiRes (ProRes) → S3
└─ Proxy (H.264) → S3
↓
web-ui ← mam-api ← PostgreSQL ← worker (BullMQ)
├─ proxy_gen
├─ thumbnail
└─ conform (EDL → FFmpeg → export)
