The software seems pretty interesting. Is any integration with Home Assistant planned?

Yes, we are working on that. HA integration will be published as an open sourced skill. https://github.com/SharpAI/DeepCamera/tree/master/skills/int...

Do you want to have connect to your existing HA instance or okay with a new docker instance? I was planning to have both but would like to know which one makes better sense.

This looks amazing, I'd love to try the Home Assistant version! Email is on my profile :)

Perfect – expect the TF link in the e-mail soon!

Mind pointing me to an example book in Wikidata? I managed to find a few, but not if I search by ISBN, which makes it hard to find.

Unless you mean the fact you can find the identifier for a book in several different websites in there, in which case, I did find it.

you can search by ISBN or any other property of an item. You have to use a SPARQL query https://query.wikidata.org/

I believe there's also a REST API somewhere if you really hate SPARQL

Thanks, I’ll take a look at that!

Right now the meeting happens on the fly and then is cached. In the future I imagine the finished merge will be saved as JSON to the database, depending on which is more expensive, the merging or a database call.

Merging on the fly kinda works for the future too, for when data change or for when the merging process changes.

No idea what the future will hold. The idea is to pre-warm the database after the schema has been refactored, and once we have thousands of books from that, I’ll know for sure what to do next.

TLDR, there is a lot of “think and learn” as I go here, haha.

No, I decided pretty early on to make it database specific instead of more generic, so we do use some PostgreSQL features right now, like their UUIDv7 generation.

But once the database refactor is done, I wouldn’t say no to a patch that made the service database agnostic.

No, right now you need an ISBN to search for a book. At a later date I'll implement search by title or author, which should help with this use case.

Not gonna lie, I didn't even know Wikidata existed until now. I'll look into it today and create a ticket for a new extractor.

Thanks for letting me know!

I didn't look into it yet because I assumed the current extractors had the information from them, but it's in my list of future extractors!

It seems someone found a bug that triggered a panic, and systemd failed to restart the service because the PID file wasn't removed. Fixed now, should be back online :)

No hug of death, the server is sitting at 3% CPU usage under current load; it seems someone found a bug that triggered a panic, and systemd failed to restart the service because the PID file wasn't removed. Fixed now, should be back online :)
