Allow adding local files

[trickypr]

This allows manually adding files to the webUI if they are already in the uploads/ folder. E.g. If you use scp to copy the file to your vps.

For example, if I uploaded spring.webm, I would add it via

npm run cli add-file spring.webm "Spring (Blender, vp9)" trickypr

Hi, good idea. I have tested your feature and it works.

I would suggest the following changes:

• Rename the file with the ID as prefix, following the present convention
• Give the user a feedback that
  • The file was added successfully
  • The file was renamed to (new name)
• I'd prefer add-file <FILE_NAME> <TITLE> <OWNER_USERNAME> in the readme

I noticed that you're working on a Docker setup for Sync Party, very nice :)

Sorry for the log wait. That should fix all of your concerns.

Hey, thanks & sorry on my side for the long delay!

At the moment the file naming logic is too brittle for my taste. Let's say you do
npm run cli add-file ./music.mp3 "Some Music" myUser. In this case it adds the "./" into the filename, which is wrong and crashes the app afterwards. I'd suggest using path.basename(myPath).

Apart from that:

• "filePath" was a better name than "url" in my opinion. I acknowledge that my own naming is bad here, though ;)
• We have to make clear in the README that the file has to be placed in /data/uploads.
• Some nitpicking: In operations.ts, please sort the imports in a way that types come last.
