Wiki > autobrr

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

Installation

autobrr is provided on our servers. Visit your Settings page to enable autobrr. Once setup is complete, select the button that says "Open Autobrr" to get started.

Setup

The official setup guide can be found on autobrr docs.

We modify the autobrr slightly to automatically connect to your download clients without requiring you to input your address, port, or username. If you want to connect to an externally hosted application, enable Expert mode (a feature we add) in the Add Client dialog.

Troubleshoot

Failed to Grab Torrents in Torrent Client

If your torrent client is unable to grab torrents from an autobrr release match, update your configuration under: Filters > Edit > Actions > Action Type

Change the action type to Watch dir instead of selecting the torrent client.

Default Watch Folders for Each Client

• rTorrent – /home/user/watch
• Deluge – /home/user/deluge-watch
• Transmission – /home/user/deluge-watch

"No Active Filters Found" in Logs

If you’ve completed the configuration and it still doesn’t function as expected under Filters, please restart the autobrr from your Manage page.

Note

If you previously set up a custom instance of Autobrr and your config is stored in the standard location ~/.config/autobrr then switching to running the Whatbox hosted version will "just work" when you install and run it since it uses the same location.
