Add support for authentication when connecting to external Redis instances in modular deployment mode. This enables secure Redis deployments using either password-only authentication (Redis <6) or
username + password authentication (Redis 6+ ACL).
Changes:
- Add REDIS_PASSWORD and REDIS_USER environment variables
- Implement URL encoding for special characters in passwords
- Update all Redis connection points to support auth
- Add comprehensive documentation and examples to docker-compose.yml
- Maintains full backward compatibility (empty defaults = no auth)
All authentication mechanisms have been fully tested including pasword-only authentication, Redis 6+ ACL authentication with username + password, volume-mounted configuration files, and special character handling.
Existing deployments are not effected, authentication support is entirely opt-in using docker-compose.
Also, acknowledging the fact that the docker-compose file for modular deployments has been getting out of hand with auth support, the docker-compose.yml file was re-formatted for better visibility in configuration. This seemed like a better way to go than mandating a .env file.
Add batch EPG association endpoint and improve EPG matching logic
- Implemented a new API endpoint to associate multiple channels with EPG data in a single request.
- Enhanced the EPG matching process to normalize TVG IDs and log relevant information.
- Updated frontend to handle batch EPG associations efficiently, falling back to legacy methods when necessary.
