Ok so Kindxer is good to go. Its been running on my media server for a bit and zero issues. Tl;dr its ment to be part of the *arr stack. You feed it to one of the *arrs. (screenshot is from prowlarr) and it acts like any other source. It can also help you publish torrents if you want. As well has having a WOT function for keeping your indexed feed to only trusted sources. Full run down of what it can do: Indexing - Subscribes to NIP-35 (kind 2003) torrent events across multiple Nostr relays - Stores everything in a local SQLite database - Remembers where it left off per relay so restarts don't re-download history - Configurable backfill. This lets you dig deep for old torrents or just keep fresh content Torznab API - Full Torznab caps and search endpoints works out of the box with all *arr apps - API key auth per client so you can revoke one without breaking others - Category mapping covers movies, TV, music, books, games Trust and curation - Scores publishers based on your WOT, people you follow rank higher, follows-of-follows a bit less, everyone else is untrusted - Configurable follow depth (1 or 2 hops) - Manual block controls per publisher - Optional strict mode to only index posts from people in your network - Auto-block after a configurable number of reports Metadata enrichment - Optional TMDB lookup for movies and TV so Sonarr and Radarr match properly - Title parsing pulls season, episode, quality and source from the torrent name - Publisher profiles fetched from Nostr so you see names and avatars Publishing - Post your own finished downloads to Nostr automatically. - Supports qBittorrent and Deluge filter by category or label, or publish everything - Configurable hold time before publishing (default 30 min) - Manual publish via CLI for individual .torrent files - NIP-46 bunker support for remote signing keys if you feel like using your own key. if not you can make a Nsec for the indexer. Web UI - Dashboard with relay connection status and recent activity - Browse and search the full index - Publisher management with trust scores and block controls - Publish queue and history - Full settings page all config options without touching a file, API key generation, that sort of jazz If you want to run it yourself youll need to build it but ive testing building on arch and debain and it works. here is the public repo. Please ping me if there are any issues.

Torrent Indexer for nostr

*Le sigh* nostr has seriously been giving me the ick recently. Probably time to crawl under my rock for a while.

I really got to get better at not doing three things at once. Do one task at a time. Each task gets done faster instead of waffling between three things. 🤣

Allergies give me the weirdest fucking headaches. Well, I'm not sure if it's directly related to allergies, but it always seems to happen around allergy season.

Changing the backfill from a week to year found my older torrents (and some tests I did a while back. lol) and WOT is working. I used my follows to see "trusted" torrent publishers and it stopped ingesting torrents from the nmirror bot. Just need to make sure publishing works the way I want and this is good to go.

Every now and then I get reminders that ive djed some cool spots. (Need a better tag lol) https://files.sovbit.dev/a59d334ccd9fdd879637f266e68e7d51346a7fa089ae730a55d07553455225e0

Fun fact I've learned making this nostr torrent indexer......thing. There is a bot called nmirror mirroring a lot a BS torrents on to relays. Over the last day or so ive indexed over ~1500 torrents and its 99% this bot. Currently running a deeper dig to see if I can find more npubs that publish torrents. I know I did a few whenever Dtan first got announced but I haven't seen them in the indexer yet. (I should republish them I know ive rebuild my seed box at least once since then so those are kinda dead. lol)

The masochist in me is saying I need to put my homelab behind a single sign-on service again. I was able to talk myself out of it last time......
