Allow extraction without DB connection #384

Closed x4e-jonas closed 1 year ago

x4e-jonas commented 1 year ago

Cineast refuses to start without a database connection. Even if you just want to extract something to JSON files using the CLI and with the API disabled it forces you to run a database.

My use case is to only run extraction on one instance and import the JSON on another instance.

How does this 'refusal to start' manifest itself? In your case, it should be sufficient to set the selector to NONE in your configuration. If that does not resolve your issue, there might be a bug somewhere.

Setting the selector to NONE instead of JSON worked for me. I think the documentation here is not very clear.

The documentation has been updated accordinlgy.
