Support ZIMing local Kolibri data created by a dry-run of ricecooker #84

Open

Description

Many (most ?) Kolibri channels are populated by ricecooker which creates everything needed locally and then uploads this to a Kolibri Studio Channel

The scraper then retrieves this Studio Channel and creates a ZIM.

While convenient when the Studio Channel is well maintained, it proves to be a burden when we struggle to get Studio Channel updated (like we face with openzim/zim-requests#729).

We might want to consider to:

  • run ricecooker in "dry-run" mode, where files are created locally but not uploaded to a Studio Channel
  • directly process these files with the scraper to create a ZIM

This change might be quite straightforward since what we download from the Studio Channel is maybe very close to what we would get locally from rice-cooker. And we would continue to benefit from the rest of the scraper enhancements (ZIM UI, ...).
