MoneyPrinter is Ollama-first: script generation and metadata are fully powered by local Ollama models.

MoneyPrinter now uses a DB-backed generation queue (API + worker + Postgres in Docker) for reliable, restart-safe processing.

## FAQ 🤔

### Which AI provider does MoneyPrinter use?

MoneyPrinter is fully Ollama-based. Start Ollama, pull a model, and select the model in the UI.

```bash
ollama serve
ollama pull llama3.1:8b
```

### How do I get the TikTok session ID?

You can obtain your TikTok session ID by logging into TikTok in your browser and copying the value of the `sessionid` cookie.

### My ImageMagick binary is not being detected

MoneyPrinter auto-detects ImageMagick from your `PATH` on Linux, macOS, and Windows. If auto-detection fails, set the executable path manually in `.env`, for example:

```env
IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY="C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-7.1.0-Q16\\magick.exe"
```

Don't forget to use double backslashes (`\\`) in the path, instead of one.

### I can't install `playsound`: Wheel failed to build

If you're having trouble installing `playsound`, you can try installing it using the following command:

```bash
uv pip install -U wheel
uv pip install -U playsound
```

If you were not able to find your solution, check [Troubleshooting](docs/troubleshooting.md), ask in Discord, or create an issue.
