This PR moves the FFMPEG installation into the backend. FFMPEG will now be installed when a video node is used, instead of when chainner is first starting up after a fresh installation.
Since the backend now has to store files, I also added a
storage_dir
field toNodeContext
, so nodes can now store files. This storage directory is set as a flag when starting the server. This allows the main electron process to set the storage dir when starting the backend. Since the main process doesn't start the backend innpm run dev
, there's also some fallback logic in the backend to use chainner's app data dir.Since
appdirs
is no longer used by our nodes, I moved it torequirements.txt
to make it a dev dependency.I also cleaned up the initialization of our
AppContext
classes a little.Fixes #2271
