v6.1.0
Usage
Docker Image
Multi-arch (linux/amd64, linux/arm64) images for this release are published to GHCR and Docker Hub.
Pull
GitHub Container Registry (GHCR):
docker pull ghcr.io/lcy362/free-short-video:6.1.0Docker Hub:
docker pull lcy362/free-short-video:v6.1.0Run
Data persistence: the app writes all generated videos, uploads and settings into
/app/.working_dirand/app/.agnes_configinside the container. A plaindocker runwithout a volume loses everything when the container is recreated. Mount these paths to your host so outputs survive restarts and can be exported.
Option A — bind mount to a host folder (recommended; files land directly in the folder):
mkdir -p ~/agnes-data/working ~/agnes-data/config
docker run -d -p 8765:8765 \
-e AGNES_API_KEY=<your-key> \
-v ~/agnes-data/working:/app/.working_dir \
-v ~/agnes-data/config:/app/.agnes_config \
ghcr.io/lcy362/free-short-video:6.1.0Your videos will be in ~/agnes-data/working/ on your machine.
Option B — named Docker volume (no host path needed; survives container recreation):
docker volume create agnes-working
docker volume create agnes-config
docker run -d -p 8765:8765 \
-e AGNES_API_KEY=<your-key> \
-v agnes-working:/app/.working_dir \
-v agnes-config:/app/.agnes_config \
ghcr.io/lcy362/free-short-video:6.1.0Export files from a named volume:
docker run --rm -v agnes-working:/data -v "$PWD":/out busybox cp -r /data/. /out/agnes-exportThen open http://localhost:8765.
Notes
- Prefer Docker Hub? Replace the image with
lcy362/free-short-video:v6.1.0. - The image already declares
VOLUMEfor both paths, sodocker run -p 8765:8765 <image>(no-v) keeps data only while you reuse the same container (stop/start); recreating the container starts fresh. AGNES_API_KEYcan also be set later in the Web UI; it is then stored in the mounted config volume.
npm
Use npx for a one-shot run or install globally:
# Quick run (no install):
npx free-short-video
# Global install:
npm install -g free-short-video
free-short-videoRequires Python 3.10+ and ffmpeg on your system.
On first run, a Python virtual environment is auto-created and dependencies are installed.
What's New
Retry-First Guidance on Task Failure
The failed-task panel now gives you a clear action path instead of a dead-end error line:
- Retry Task button — resumes the task from the failed step via the existing checkpoint resume (no new backend endpoint, no full resubmit).
- Retry count tracking — retries are counted per task and persist across refreshes; the count resets when the task succeeds.
- Transient-failure copy — the panel explains that most failures come from temporary rate limiting / network timeouts / model-service fluctuation and are worth retrying before reporting.
One-Click Issue Feedback with Progressive Expansion
When retries don't help, the feedback area helps you report efficiently:
- Progressive expansion — the feedback area stays a low-key hint line under the retry guidance; after 2 failed retries it auto-expands, switching the copy to "still failing after N retries, please report with diagnostic info." You can open it manually at any time (your choice is remembered per task).
- Deterministic-failure pre-screen — parameter/content errors (HTTP 400, content policy, invalid API key) are detected from the error text, skip the retry guidance, and expand the feedback area directly with a "retrying may not help" hint and a de-emphasized retry button.
- Diagnostic info preview — a collapsible structured report: app version, task type, mode, failed step, error message, retry count, and key generation configs (no prompt text included).
- Copy diagnostic info — one click copies the full report for pasting anywhere.
- Check the FAQ first — a direct link to the official FAQ page for self-service troubleshooting.
- Open a GitHub Issue — jumps to the project issue tracker with title and body pre-filled from the diagnostic report (long bodies are safely truncated); a bug-report issue template is available in the repo.
Diagnostics Endpoint (Phase 2)
GET /api/tasks/{id}/diagnostics— returns a task summary plus the model-call error details associated with that task (exact task match first, time-window fallback), sourced from the existingerror_logs/collector.- Task-linked error collection — model errors are now written with their
task_id, so a failure can be traced back to the exact API calls that caused it. - Privacy by design — the endpoint never returns prompt text, response bodies, or system prompts; error messages are truncated. The feedback report is fully client-side and nothing is uploaded automatically.
Other Features & Improvements
- App version in diagnostics —
APP_VERSIONis now exposed viaGET /api/config, so every report carries the exact version that failed (kept in sync by the release process). - Official FAQ updated — new entries explain what to do when generation fails (retry first, then report with diagnostic info) and how to get help / report issues; synced across the official site and wiki.
