[feat] engines: add Tube Archivist engine (#4889)
Tube Archivist [1] is a self-hosted project which archives youtube videos on your own local server. This engine connects with Tube Archivist's search API to allow searching from SearXNG into your own hosted videos. [1] https://www.tubearchivist.com/ Signed-off-by: Robert M.

+"""`Tube Archivist`_ - *Your self hosted YouTube media server.*
+
+.. _Tube Archivist: https://www.tubearchivist.com
+
+This engine connects with a self-hosted instance of `Tube Archivist`_ to allow
+searching for your hosted videos.
+
+`Tube Archivist`_ (TA) requires authentication for all image loads via cookie
+authentication. What this means is that by default, SearXNG will have no way to
+pull images from TA (as there is no way to pass cookies in a URL string only).
+
+In the meantime while work is done on the TA side, this can be worked around by
+bypassing auth for images in TA by altering the default TA nginx file.
+
+This is located in the main tubearchivist docker container at::
+
+ /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
+
+It is **strongly** recommended first setting up the intial connection and
+verying searching works first with broken images, and then attempting this
+change. This will limit any debugging to only images, rather than
+tokens/networking.
+
+Steps to enable **unauthenticated** metadata access for channels and videos:
+
+#. Perform any backups of TA before editing core configurations.
+
+#. Copy the contents of the file ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/default`` in the
+ TA docker container
+
+#. Edit ``location /cache/videos`` and ``location /cache/channels``. Comment
+ out the line ``auth_request /api/ping/;`` to ``# auth_request /api/ping/;``.
+
+#. Save the file to wherever you normally store your docker configuration.
+
+#. Mount this new configuration over the default configuration. With ``docker
+ run``, this would be::
+
+ -v ./your-new-config.yml:/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
+
+ With ``docker compose``, this would be::
+
+ - "./your-new-config.yml:/etc/nginx/sites-available/default:ro"
+
+#. Start the TA container.
+
+After these steps, double check that TA works as normal (nothing should be
+different on the TA side). Searching again should now show images.
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+The engine has the following required settings:
+
+- :py:obj:`base_url`
+- :py:obj:`ta_token`
+
+Optional settings:
+
+- :py:obj:`ta_link_to_mp4`
+
+.. code:: yaml

+ engine: tubearchivist
+ shortcut: tuba
