autobrr

autobrr is the modern download automation tool for torrents and usenet. With inspiration and ideas from tools like trackarr, autodl-irssi and flexget we built one tool that can do it all, and then some.

Key features

  • Torrents and usenet support
  • Support for 75+ torrent trackers with IRC announces
  • Newznab, Torznab and RSS support to easily get access to hundreds of torrent and usenet indexers
  • Torrent Magnet support
  • Powerful but simple filtering with RegEx support (like in autodl-irssi)
  • Easy to use and mobile friendly web UI (with dark mode!) to manage everything
  • Built on Go and React making autobrr lightweight and perfect for supporting multiple platforms (Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, macOS) on different architectures (e.g. x86, ARM)
  • Great container support (Docker, k8s/Kubernetes)
  • Database engine supporting both PostgreSQL and SQLite
  • Notifications (Discord, Telegram, Notifiarr, Pushover, Gotify)
  • One autobrr instance can communicate with multiple clients (torrent, usenet and *arr) on remote servers
  • Base path / Subfolder (and subdomain) support for convenient reverse-proxy support

Available download clients and actions

  • qBittorrent (with built-in re-announce, categories, rules, max active downloads, etc.)
  • Deluge v1+ and v2+
  • rTorrent
  • Transmission
  • Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Whisparr and Readarr (pushes releases directly to them and gets in the early swarm, instead of getting them via RSS when it's already over)
  • SABnzbd (usenet)
  • Watch folder
  • Exec custom scripts
  • Webhook

What is autobrr and how does it fit into the ecosystem?

We can start by talking about torrent trackers (hereby referred to as indexers) and maintaining ratio. You are required to maintain a ratio with most indexers. Ratio is built by seeding your torrents. The earlier you're seeding a torrent, the more peers you make yourself available to on that torrent.

Software like Radarr and Sonarr utilizes RSS to look for new torrents. RSS feeds are updated regularly, but too slow to let you be a part of what we call the initial swarm of a torrent. This is where autobrr comes into play.

Many indexers announce new torrents on their IRC channels the second it is uploaded to the site. autobrr monitors such channels in real time and grabs the torrent file as soon as it's uploaded based on certain conditions (hereby referred to as filters) that you set up within autobrr. It then sends that torrent file to a download client of your choice via an action set within the filter. A download client can be anything from qBittorrent and Deluge, to Radarr and Sonarr, or a watch folder.

When your autobrr filter is set to send the torrent files to Radarr and Sonarr, they will decide if it's something they want, and then forward it to the torrent client they are set up with.

autobrr can also send matches (torrent files that meets your filter's criteria) directly to torrent clients like qBittorrent, Deluge, r(u)Torrent and Transmission. You don't need to use the *arr suite to make use of autobrr.

RSS support for indexers without an IRC announcer

A lot of indexers do not announce new torrents in an IRC channel. You can still make use of these indexers with autobrr since it has built in support for feeds as well. Both torznab and regular RSS is supported. RSS indexers are treated the same way as regular indexers within autobrr.

This isn't needed if your use case is feeding the *arrs only. Since they have RSS support already.

Usenet support

Usenet support via Newznab feeds allows you to easily manage everything in a single application. While there is a lot of applications that handles RSS well, we think autobrr offers very easy to use filtering to help you get the content you want.

You can use Usenet feeds and send to arrs or send directly to SABnzbd.

Install scripts

We have support for a couple other providers out of the box.
In case your provider is missing then please contact us on Discord, so we can add support.
The scripts require some input but do most of the work.

Swizzin.net

wget https://gobrr.sh/install_sbio && bash install_sbio

WhatBox

wget https://gobrr.sh/install_whatbox && bash install_whatbox

Feralhosting

wget https://gobrr.sh/install_feral && bash install_feral

Bytesized hosting

wget https://gobrr.sh/install_bytesized && bash install_bytesized

Other providers

For other providers the Seedbox.io installer should work. If not, open an issue or contact us on Discord

wget https://gobrr.sh/install_sbio && bash install_sbio

Docker compose

docker-compose for autobrr. Modify accordingly if running with unRAID or setting up with Portainer.

  • Logging is optional
  • Host port mapping might need to be changed to not collide with other apps
  • Change BASE_DOCKER_DATA_PATH to match your setup. Can be simply ./data
  • Set custom network if needed

Create docker-compose.yml and add the following. If you have an existing setup change to fit that.

version: "3.7"

services:
  autobrr:
    container_name: autobrr
    image: ghcr.io/autobrr/autobrr:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - TZ=${TZ}
    user: 1000:1000
    volumes:
      - ${BASE_DOCKER_DATA_PATH}/autobrr/config:/config
    ports:
      - 7474:7474

Then start with

docker compose up -d

Windows

Check the windows setup guide here

Linux generic

Download the latest release, or download the source code and build it yourself using make build.

wget $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/autobrr/autobrr/releases/latest | grep download | grep linux_x86_64 | cut -d\" -f4)

Unpack

Run with root or sudo. If you do not have root, or are on a shared system, place the binaries somewhere in your home directory like ~/.bin.

tar -C /usr/local/bin -xzf autobrr*.tar.gz

This will extract both autobrr and autobrrctl to /usr/local/bin. Note: If the command fails, prefix it with sudo and re-run again.

Systemd (Recommended)

On Linux-based systems, it is recommended to run autobrr as a sort of service with auto-restarting capabilities, in order to account for potential downtime. The most common way is to do it via systemd.

You will need to create a service file in /etc/systemd/system/ called autobrr.service.

touch /etc/systemd/system/autobrr@.service

Then place the following content inside the file (e.g. via nano/vim/ed):

[Unit]
Description=autobrr service for %i
After=syslog.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
Group=%i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/autobrr --config=/home/%i/.config/autobrr/

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Start the service. Enable will make it startup on reboot.

systemctl enable -q --now --user autobrr@$USER

By default, the configuration is set to listen on 127.0.0.1. While autobrr works fine as is exposed to the internet, it is recommended to use a reverse proxy like nginx, caddy or traefik.

If you are not running a reverse proxy change host in the config.toml to 0.0.0.0.
