Magnetissimo

Magnetissimo is a self-hosted web application that indexes all popular torrent sites and saves the magnet links to your local database.

Goals:

• No javascript
• Crawl multiple index sites for torrents and magnet links.
• Easily integrates with both Sonarr and Radarr.
• Run without ceremony. No need for configurations.
• Easy to understand source code. Special care is taken to keep code lean and understandable.
• High performance, leveraging Elixir's GenServer and Erlang's BEAM VM.

Usage Guide:

We want to explain how to run Magnetissimo on:

• Windows
• Linux
• Mac

Docker Compose

# Generate a secret_key with either
openssl rand -base64 64
mix phx.gen.secret

# Enter that key as SECRET_KEY_BASE in the docker-compse.yml file
SECRET_KEY_BASE=YourKeyGoesHere

# Start the application
docker compose up -d

Kubernetes

# Generate a secret_key with either
openssl rand -base64 64
mix phx.gen.secret

Edit the k8s/deployment.yaml file, and replace the ENV SECRET_KEY_BASE with your generated key.
Edit k8s/ingress.yaml & the PHX_HOST in k8s/deployment.yaml and replace the host with your domain name.

The Postgres database is configured to use the DNS name assuming it is being deployed to the default namespace, update this in the enviroment variables if you are deploying to a different namespace.

Finaly, deploy the application to your cluster.
kubectl apply -f k8s/pvc.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/svc.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/ingress.yaml

Local Development

asdf install
mix deps.get
iex -S mix phx.server

Then visit: http://localhost:4000

API

All endpoints returns JSON formatted information.

/search endpoint: http://localhost:4000/api/search/:search_term

Search returns torrents that match the search_term param.

/latest endpoint: http://localhost:4000/api/latest

Latest returns the latest 50 published_at torrents.

Contributing:

We have a .tool-versions so you can use ASDF to install the right versions really easily.

elixir 1.14.4
nodejs 19.8.1

Then asdf install.

You also need to have Postgres running and configure it using the DATABASE_URL environment variable.

Finally set up your database with some dummy data and run the project.

mix deps.get
mix ecto.reset
iex -S mix phx.server
