Any good seedbox tutorials?

jeromeza

Thinking of using a Kimsufi-2G as a seedbox running:

Transmission
Bittorrent sync (to transfer files locally) or Rsync
Sickbeard / Couch Potato / Headphones / Mylar
Plex

Any idea's or good tutorial's around this type of thing?

Thx

apt-get install transmission-daemon
nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
change download-dir, change rpc-username & rpc-password, drop your home IP into rpc-whitelist (or just open it up with *)
service transmission-daemon restart

Go to: YourIP:9091/transmission - login. Boom, seedbox.

Flip through the tutorials section, there are good ones in there. Or just Google it, you'll find something quickly.

For a dead simple setup with a few extras, check out: https://yunohost.org/ - just install that on top of debian on your KS-1 and you're good to go.

Maybe I have a different view of a seedbox... I'd like a nicer way to get files locally e.g. bittorrent sync seems to fit that part. The tutorials posted above are for downloading, but don't really provide a nice way to grab those files and integrate them locally with your existing media....

• 2+ year old script
• Practically asks you to install on 12.04 and not latest.
• Advises to rather not update the system and so as to not break it.

My advise - STAY AWAY!

(Speaking from experience. Learned the hard way.)

transmission-daemon is easiest

That's definitely not what you will find when searching for seedbox tutorials. You are looking for Samba, WebDAV, FTPfs or similar or you are looking for Plex.

If you want a way to integrate them locally, setup a syncthing server on the r(u)torrent server. Then, do some fingering with bash scripting so that all torrents with a certain tag (assuming autodl-irssi) are copied to a folder synced by syncthing. Setup a syncthing share between the torrent server and your plex? server.

If you want more automation, you can do some api requests to the syncthing client to see when all downloads have completed, and then move them out of the folder and organize them into plex/etc. You have to be familar with bash scripting though.

I assure you that this is possible - because I do have such a setup that copies torrents to the right place in plex.
