Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh

./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12

This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

Check the actual schema of your

"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id...

- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (

) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)

Run
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
first to update the schema quickly on the NAS, then run
screenpipe_sync.sh
daily to incrementally move data from Mac to NAS. This makes sense - the migration is the heavy operation, then daily syncs are lightweight.
Does this match your understanding, or do you have questions about any part?

The error occurs because the
video_chunks
table already has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"

If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per

If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:
Searched
ocr_text in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)
Thought
for 2s
The error occurs because the script tries to create a unique index on
ocr_text(install_id, id)
, but the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column as their primary key, but
ocr_text
likely has a different structure.
Check the actual schema of your
ocr_text
table:
bash
sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text
?

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:
Searched
ocr_text in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)

The error occurs because the script tries to create a unique index on
ocr_text(install_id, id)
, but the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column as their primary key, but
ocr_text
likely has a different structure.
Check the actual schema of your
ocr_text
table:
bash
sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text
?

The
ocr_text
table has no
id
column - its primary key is
frame_id
. The script incorrectly assumes all tables have an
id
column when creating the unique index.
The fix is in
screenpipe_sync.sh
around line 363-370. The loop needs to check if the table has an
id
column before creating the index:
bash
# Re-run install_id + index setup so freshly-created tables get them too.

I'll read the two scripts and explore the project structure to understand the data migration setup.

I understand the setup. Here's my analysis:
Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12
Current NAS State
Current NAS State
archive.db
- 12.9 GB (main archive)
archive.db-bak
- 11.1 GB (backup)
archive.db.bak-pre-installid
- 12.9 GB (pre-migration backup)
db.sqlite
- 3.7 GB (appears to be source DB already copied?)
data/
- empty (will hold frame data by date)
logs/
- contains sync logs
Your Plan
Your Plan
Run
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
first to update the schema quickly on the NAS, then run
screenpipe_sync.sh
daily to incrementally move data from Mac to NAS. This makes sense - the migration is the heavy operation, then daily syncs are lightweight.
Does this match your understanding, or do you have questions about any part?

The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:

Check the actual schema of your

sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text
?

The
ocr_text
table has no
id
column - its primary key is
frame_id
. The script incorrectly assumes all tables have an
id
column when creating the unique index.
The fix is in
screenpipe_sync.sh
around line 363-370. The loop needs to check if the table has an
id
column before creating the index:
bash
# Re-run install_id + index setup so freshly-created tables get them too.

The error occurs because the

table already has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:
Searched
ocr_text in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)

The error occurs because the script tries to create a unique index on
ocr_text(install_id, id)
, but the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column as their primary key, but
ocr_text
likely has a different structure.
Check the actual schema of your
ocr_text
table:
bash
sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text
?

This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:
Searched
ocr_text in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)

The error occurs because the script tries to create a unique index on
ocr_text(install_id, id)
, but the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column as their primary key, but
ocr_text
likely has a different structure.
Check the actual schema of your
ocr_text
table:
bash
sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text
?

(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

The error occurs because the script tries to create a unique index on
ocr_text(install_id, id)
, but the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column as their primary key, but
ocr_text
likely has a different structure.
Check the actual schema of your
ocr_text
table:
bash
sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text
?

The
ocr_text
table has no
id
column - its primary key is
frame_id
. The script incorrectly assumes all tables have an
id
column when creating the unique index.
The fix is in
screenpipe_sync.sh
around line 363-370. The loop needs to check if the table has an
id
column before creating the index:
bash
# Re-run install_id + index setup so freshly-created tables get them too.

Fixed both scripts. They now check if a table has an
id
column before creating the unique index. If the table lacks an
id
column (like
ocr_text
), it uses
rowid
instead.

table already has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

Fixed both scripts. They now check if a table has an
id
column before creating the unique index. If the table lacks an
id
column (like
ocr_text
), it uses
rowid
instead.
Changes made:
screenpipe_sync.sh
(line 369-375): Added check for
id
column, fallback to
rowid
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
(line 106-113): Added check for

You can now retry running the sync script from your Mac.

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
INSERT uses a JOIN with
frames
, and both tables have an
app_name
column. The script uses unqualified column names, causing SQLite to be ambiguous about which table's
app_name
to select.
The script's comment assumes no column name collisions, but
app_name
exists in both tables. The fix is to qualify all columns in the SELECT with the table alias
o.
.
Let me check the current INSERT statement:

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

The same fix applies to

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:
Searched
ocr_text in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)

The error occurs because the script tries to create a unique index on
ocr_text(install_id, id)
, but the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column as their primary key, but
ocr_text
likely has a different structure.
Check the actual schema of your
ocr_text
table:
bash
sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text
?

The
ocr_text
table has no
id
column - its primary key is
frame_id
. The script incorrectly assumes all tables have an
id
column when creating the unique index.
The fix is in
screenpipe_sync.sh
around line 363-370. The loop needs to check if the table has an
id
column before creating the index:
bash
# Re-run install_id + index setup so freshly-created tables get them too.

Fixed both scripts. They now check if a table has an
id
column before creating the unique index. If the table lacks an
id
column (like
ocr_text
), it uses
rowid
instead.
Changes made:
screenpipe_sync.sh
(line 369-375): Added check for
id
column, fallback to
rowid
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
(line 106-113): Added check for
id
column, fallback to
rowid
You can now retry running the sync script from your Mac.

get familiar with the project. The idea is to copy the data from mac to nas (here). I am tryign to update the database using

for a day to move the data. Review and see is you understand everything.

setup.

I understand the setup. Here's my analysis
:
Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screen
pipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all
synced tables (prevents ID collisions across
reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Re
builds FTS (full-text search) tables with new
schema
Optional but recommended
- running
this on the NAS is
5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do
it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies
SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames
, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio
tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame
data files and audio MP4s via rs
ync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations
safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-add
s new columns)
Run per
date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(y
esterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12

Your Plan
Your
Plan
Run
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
first to update the schema quickly on the NAS, then
run
screenpipe_sync.sh
daily to increment
ally move data from Mac to
NAS. This makes sense - the migration is the
heavy operation, then daily syncs are lightweight
.
Does this match your understanding
, or do you have questions about any part
?

data without proper deduplication. Let me check the database to identify the duplicates:
Searched
sqlite3 in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)
Thought
for 1s
The error occurs because the
video_chunks
table already
has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When
the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects
it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened
from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose,
you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what
you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping
one row per
(install_id, id)...

The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your
database has pre-existing install_id
data that violates this assumption.

Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screen
pipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all
synced tables (prevents ID collisions across
reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Re
builds FTS (full-text search) tables with new
schema
Optional but recommended
- running
this on the NAS is
5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do
it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies
SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames
, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio
tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame
data files and audio MP4s via rs
ync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations
safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-add
s new columns)
Run per

"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what
you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping
one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate
the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your
database has pre-existing install_id
data that violates this assumption.

run

daily to increment
ally move data from Mac to

The

table already has
install_id

install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When
the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects
it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened
from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose,
you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what
you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping
one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate
the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your
database has pre-existing install_id
data that violates this assumption.

Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screen
pipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all
synced tables (prevents ID collisions across
reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Re
builds FTS (full-text search) tables with new
schema
Optional but recommended
- running
this on the NAS is
5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do
it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies
SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames
, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio
tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame
data files and audio MP4s via rs
ync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 400
9 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears
2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple
sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need
to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this
, both counts should match (2607),
and you can re-run the migration script:

Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screen
pipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all
synced tables (prevents ID collisions across
reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Re
builds FTS (full-text search) tables with new
schema
Optional but recommended
- running
this on the NAS is
5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do
it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies
SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames
, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio
tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame
data files and audio MP4s via rs
ync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations
safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-add
s new columns)

data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When
the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects
it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened
from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose,
you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what
you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping
one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate
the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your
database has pre-existing install_id
data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 400
9 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears
2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple
sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need
to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this
, both counts should match (2607),
and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may
need to repeat this for other tables if they
have the same issue. The migration script
processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements
ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions
audio_tags
(audio).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a
unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all
tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source
database:
Searched
ocr_text in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)
Thought
for 2s
The error occurs because the script tries to create a unique
index on
ocr_text(install_id, id)
, but the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column. The script assumes
all tables have an
id
column as
their primary key, but
ocr_text
likely has a different structure
.
Check the actual schema of your
ocr_text
table:
bash
sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist
. Based on the script's
usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not
have its own
id
primary key (
it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify
the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip
the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don
't have an explicit
id
column

combinations, violating the unique constraint the script is trying to create.
Let
me check the database state to diagnose:
Searched
video_chunks in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)
Thought
for 1s
The error occurs because there are
duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations in the
video_chunks
table, violating the unique constraint the
script is trying to create.
Let me check the database state to understand
the duplicates:
Searched
sqlite3.*video_chunks in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)
Thought
for 1s
The error occurs because the
video_chunks
table already has
install_id
data, but there are duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. The script tries to create a unique index on these
columns, which fails due to the duplicates.
Let me check
the database to identify the duplicates:
Searched
SELECT.*install_id.*FROM in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)
Thought
for 1s
The error occurs because the
video_chunks
table
already has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these
columns, SQLite rejects it due to the
duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync
or partial migration. Let me check the
database to see the duplicate data:
Searched
install_id in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)
Thought
for 1s
The error occurs because the
video_chunks
table
already has
install_id
data with duplicate

This likely happened from a previous sync that added
data without proper deduplication. Let me check the database to identify the duplicates:

The error occurs because the
video_chunks
table already
has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When
the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects
it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened
from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose,
you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what
you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping
one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate
the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your
database has pre-existing install_id
data that violates this assumption.

Project Overview
You're migrating Screen
pipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all
synced tables (prevents ID collisions across

- running
this on the NAS is
5-10x faster than letting

Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies
SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames
, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio
tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame

combinations. The script tries to create a unique index on these
columns, which fails due to the duplicates.
Let me check
the database to identify the duplicates:

The error occurs because the
video_chunks
table
already has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these
columns, SQLite rejects it due to the
duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync
or partial migration. Let me check the
database to see the duplicate data:

Data Migration and Sync Review
1h
1m
get familiar with the project. The idea is to copy the data from mac to nas (here). I am tryign to update the database using
@
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
and then run
@
screenpipe_sync.sh
for a day to move the data. Review and see is you understand everything.

I'll read the two scripts and
explore the project structure to understand the data migration
setup.

I understand the setup. Here's my analysis
:
Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screen
pipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all
synced tables (prevents ID collisions across
reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Re
builds FTS (full-text search) tables with new
schema
Optional but recommended
- running
this on the NAS is
5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do
it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies
SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames
, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio
tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame
data files and audio MP4s via rs
ync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations
safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-add
s new columns)
Run per
date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(y
esterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12

Your Plan
Your
Plan
Run
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
first to update the schema quickly on the NAS, then
run
screenpipe_sync.sh
daily to increment
ally move data from Mac to
NAS. This makes sense - the migration is the
heavy operation, then daily syncs are lightweight
.
Does this match your understanding
, or do you have questions about any part
?

The
error occurs because the
video_chunks
table already has
install_id
but contains duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations, violating the unique constraint the script is trying to create.
Let
me check the database state to diagnose:
