Emi Matchu 2cc46703b9 Create NeopetsMediaArchive, read the actual manifests for Alt Styles
The Neopets Media Archive is a service that mirrors `images.neopets.com`
over time! Right now we're starting by just loading manifests, and
using them to replace the hacks we used for determining the Alt Style
PNG and SVG URLs; but with time, I want to load *all* customization
media files, to have our own secondary file source that isn't dependent
on Neopets to always be up.

Impress 2020 already caches manifest files, but this strategy is
different in two ways:

1. We're using the filesystem rather than a database column. (That is,
   manifest data is kinda duplicated in the system right now!) This is
   because I intend to go in a more file-y way long-term anyway, to
   load more than just the manifests.
2. Impress 2020 guesses at the manifest URLs by pattern, and reloads
   them on a regular basis. Instead, we use the modeling system: when
   TNT changes the URL of a manifest by appending a new `?v=` query
   string to it, this system will consider it a new URL, and will load
   the new copy accordingly.

Fun fact, I actually have been prototyping some of this stuff in a side
project I'd named `impress-media-server`! It's a little Sinatra app
that indeed *does* save all the files needed for customization, and can
generate lightweight lil preview iframes and images pretty easily. I
had initially been planning this as a separate service, but after
thinking over the arch a bit, I think it'll go smoother to just give
the main app all the same access and awareness—and I wrote it all in
Ruby and plain HTML/JS/CSS, so it should be pretty easy to port over
bit-by-bit!

Anyway, only Alt Styles use this for now, but my motivation is to be
able to use more-correct asset URL logic to be able to finally swap
over wardrobe-2020's item search to impress.openneo.net's item search
API endpoint—which will get "Items You Own" searches working again, and
whittle down one of the last big things Impress 2020 can do that the
main app can't. Let's see how it goes!

Dress to Impress is deployed to a VPS server. We use this Ansible Playbook to
automate the environment setup!

We expect to be deploying to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, initially with nothing
installed. The user you deploy with should have sudoers access. That should be
all it takes!

First, run `yarn deploy:setup` in the app root, to run the `setup.yml`
playbook. This will prompt you for your root password, to set up system
dependencies. It should be safe to re-run this, including if you add a new
dependency to the playbook, because the steps are non-destructive and Ansible
will skip steps that are already satisfied.

Then, to deploy a new version of the app, run `yarn deploy`. This will build
the app from the code on your machine, then send the source and build output
to the remote machine, and switch it to be the new production version. Nice!

Note that the setup script references a file named `production.env`, which is
gitignored because it contains sensitive information, like database passwords.
You should create a `production.env` file in the local `deploy/files`
directory, to be copied to the remote server and used as its environment
variables.
