- [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile) builds the Vue SPA and Rust binary in a multi-stage image.
- [`installer/linux-install.sh`](installer/linux-install.sh) installs a Linux binary, PostgreSQL, and a systemd service.
- `installer/windows.nsi` and `installer/setup.ps1` package the Windows binary and a bundled PostgreSQL setup.
The Windows service runs **sync-only** (`INDEXARR_WORKERS=http_server,sync`, the same
mode as `docker-compose.sync.yml`): it serves the UI and Torznab and syncs from peers
but does not crawl the DHT or announce to trackers, because those advertise the
machine's real public IP on port 6881 to every swarm it touches. To crawl from a
Windows install, put the machine behind a VPN and edit `INDEXARR_WORKERS` in the
`.env` beside `indexarr.exe`, then restart the `Indexarr` service.
- CI workflows live under [`.github/workflows/`](.github/workflows/).
- Version-specific changes are documented in [`RELEASE_NOTES_v0.3.2.md`](RELEASE_NOTES_v0.3.2.md) and the earlier release notes.
