Downloaders¶

Downloaders are the download clients that SeedReap monitors for completed downloads. Each downloader is configured with a unique name and type-specific settings.

qBittorrent¶

The qBittorrent downloader connects to a qBittorrent instance via its Web API and uses SSH/SFTP for file transfers.

downloaders:
  seedbox:  # Unique name for this downloader
    type: qbittorrent
    url: http://seedbox:8080
    username: admin
    password: your-password
    ssh:
      host: seedbox
      port: 22
      user: qbittorrent
      key_file: /config/ssh/id_ed25519

Option	Type	Required	Description
`type`	string	Yes	Must be `qbittorrent`
`url`	string	Yes	URL to qBittorrent Web UI
`username`	string	Yes	qBittorrent username
`password`	string	Yes	qBittorrent password
`ssh.host`	string	Yes	SSH hostname for SFTP transfers
`ssh.port`	int	No	SSH port (default: 22)
`ssh.user`	string	Yes	SSH username

Category Matching¶

SeedReap only syncs downloads that match a configured app's category. Set the category in qBittorrent to match your app configuration:

Sonarr category: tv-sonarr
Radarr category: movies-radarr

Multiple Seedboxes¶

You can configure multiple downloaders to sync from multiple seedboxes:

downloaders:
  seedbox-eu:
    type: qbittorrent
    url: http://eu-seedbox:8080
    username: admin
    password: password1
    ssh:
      host: eu-seedbox
      user: user
      key_file: /config/ssh/eu_key

  seedbox-us:
    type: qbittorrent
    url: http://us-seedbox:8080
    username: admin
    password: password2
    ssh:
      host: us-seedbox
      user: user
      key_file: /config/ssh/us_key

SSH Key Setup¶

Generate an SSH key for SeedReap to use:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f seedreap_key -N ""

Copy the public key to your seedbox:

ssh-copy-id -i seedreap_key.pub user@seedbox

Key Permissions

Ensure the private key has restrictive permissions:

chmod 600 /config/ssh/id_ed25519
