transcription-apifolder. - Whishper-Backend: This is the backend that coordinates frontend calls, database, and tasks. You can find it in
backendfolder. - Whishper-Frontend: This is the frontend (web UI) of the application. You can find it in
frontendfolder. - Translation (3rd party): This is the libretranslate container that is used for translating subtitles.
- MongoDB (3rd party): This is the database that stores all the information about your transcriptions.
- Nginx (3rd party): This is the proxy that allows running everything from a single domain.
