Build Iconik
NOT REALLYreplaces $65/mosaves $780/yrback to the verdict
Before step 1
you will need
- ffmpeg
- a machine that can see every volume you want indexed
- SQLite plus FTS5
- storage for proxies
- a lot of patience for the first index
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Iconik. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- storage gateways that index on-prem NAS, LTO, and cloud buckets as one library
- per-user and per-collection permissions with an audit trail
- proxy transcoding that keeps up with petabyte ingest
- Adobe and Resolve panels plus the desktop player
- shared collections and review for clients who never see your storage
- archive and restore lifecycle out to deep cloud storage
