MediaFusion template is outdated

[rajeevan23]

Hi @Viren070 ,

First of all, thank you for maintaining this great template – it's incredibly helpful for self-hosters!

I noticed that the MediaFusion template (apps/mediafusion/compose.yaml and its .env) is currently outdated. The upstream MediaFusion project (mhdzumair/MediaFusion) has migrated from MongoDB to PostgreSQL as its primary database.

The current template will fail to start because MediaFusion no longer supports MongoDB connections.

Would it be possible to update the template when you get the chance?

Thanks again for your work on this project. 🙏

Here is one you can use.

Compose:

mediafusion_postgres:
image: postgres:18-alpine
container_name: mediafusion_postgres
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: mediafusion
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: yourstrongpasswordhere
POSTGRES_DB: mediafusion
ports:
- "5432:5432"
volumes:
- ${DOCKER_DATA_DIR}/mediafusion/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/18/docker
- ./postgres-init:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U mediafusion -d mediafusion"]
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 5
start_period: 30s
profiles:
- mediafusion
- all

.env:

POSTGRES_URI=postgresql+asyncpg://mediafusion:yourstrongpasswordhere@mediafusion_postgres:5432/
CONTACT_EMAIL=example@example.com

NOTES:

Replace 'yourstrongpassword with a strong password
Replace contact email with your actual email
You will still have to find and do the steps to migrate the db from mongo to Postgres once all this is set it's pretty easy.

@IbbyLabs did you find a way to migrate the db? I'm still facing some issue moving to Postgres.

Yes I got it to work though it took a lot of trial and error

Any hint @IbbyLabs ? My postgres is failing to start and create a new database

I'll see if I can find it

I can't find it but I used codex to fix it. Give it the links to MediaFusions repo and it should be able to do it

Unable to get MediaFusion running. Please update it dev!
