# Metadata Set Creator
Metadata Set Creator is an open source Python 3 project that has been created to create a Plex Meta Manager metadata file and associated set file for a list.
## Installing Metadata Set Creator
Generally, Metadata Set Creator can be installed in one of two ways:
1. Running on a system as a Python script [we will refer to this as a "local" install]
2. Running as a Docker container
GENERALLY SPEAKING, running as a Docker container is simpler, as you won't have to be concerned about installing Python, or support libraries, or any possible system conflicts generated by those actions.
For this reason, it's generally recommended that you install via Docker rather than directly on the host.
If you have some specific reason to avoid Docker, or you prefer running it as a Python script for some particular reason, then this general recommendation is not aimed at you. It's aimed at someone who doesn't have an existing compelling reason to choose one over the other.
### Install Walkthroughs
There are no detailed walkthroguhs specifically for Metadata Set Creator but the process is extremely similar to how you would do it with [Plex Meta Manager](https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/home/installation.html#install-walkthroughs).
### Local Install Overview
Metadata Set Creator is compatible with Python 3.11. Later versions may function but are untested.
These are high-level steps which assume the user has knowledge of python and pip, and the general ability to troubleshoot issues.
1. Clone or [download and unzip](https://github.com/meisnate12/Metadata-Set-Creator/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) the repo.
```shell
git clone https://github.com/meisnate12/Metadata-Set-Creator
```
2. Install dependencies:
```shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. If the above command fails, run the following command:
```shell
pip install -r requirements.txt --ignore-installed
```
At this point Metadata-Set-Creator has been installed, and you can verify installation by running:
```shell
python metadata_set_creator.py
```
### Docker Install Overview
#### Docker Run:
```shell
docker run -v <PATH_TO_CONFIG>:/config:rw meisnate12/metadata-set-creator
```
* The `-v <PATH_TO_CONFIG>:/config:rw` flag mounts the location you choose as a persistent volume to store your files.
* Change `<PATH_TO_CONFIG>` to a folder where your .env and other files are.
* If your directory has spaces (such as "My Documents"), place quotation marks around your directory pathing as shown here: `-v "<PATH_TO_CONFIG>:/config:rw"`
Example Docker Run command:
These docs are assuming you have a basic understanding of Docker concepts. One place to get familiar with Docker would be the [official tutorial](https://www.docker.com/101-tutorial/).
```shell
docker run -v "X:\Media\Metadata Set Creator\config:/config:rw" meisnate12/metadata-set-creator
```
#### Docker Compose:
Example Docker Compose file:
```yaml
version: "2.1"
services:
plex-meta-manager:
image: meisnate12/metadata-set-creator
container_name: metadata-set-creator
environment:
- TZ=TIMEZONE #optional
volumes:
- /path/to/config:/config
restart: unless-stopped
```
#### Dockerfile
A `Dockerfile` is included within the GitHub repository for those who require it, although this is only suggested for those with knowledge of dockerfiles. The official Metadata Set Creator build is available on the [Dockerhub Website](https://hub.docker.com/r/meisnate12/metadata-set-creator).
