predb.ovh is currently offline (January 8, 2023)

predb.ovh is currently offline. This means that ATUS is currently unusable until thier api is back up again or i find a different predb with free api-access.

If you know of one, gladly let me know or check for status updates on their github.

Requirements

• a server with docker installed. See server requirements for more information.
• a source torrent tracker that provides a rss feed
• rtorrent + ruTorrent seedbox with the atus-rutorrent-api plugin installed
• your own tracker for uploads with the atus-tracker-api installed and configured

Server Requirements

ATUS itself is a lightweight application but if you want to make use of the sample video streaming feature, the server will have to transcode the sample videos.
I've tested this on a Hetzner CPX11 cloud server with 2 vcores and 2GB of RAM and it worked fine but depending on amount of releases you want to process, you might need more resources.

Installation

To deploy this project run

  docker run -d --name atus \
    -v /home/atus_data:/app/atus_data \
    -p 8000:8000 \
    -d ghcr.io/steffenloges/atus:latest

or build your own image

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/SteffenLoges/atus.git

Build the image

  docker build -t atus .

Run with

  docker run -d --name atus \
    -v /home/atus_data:/app/atus_data \
    -p 8000:8000

Configuration

Once the container is running, open http://[YOUR-SERVER-IP]:8000 in your browser.

You will be prompted to create an account and set up your settings.

You should start by configuring the upload settings as this is by far the hardest part.
Make sure to test if your settings are working by clicking "Upload Test Release".
Do not proceed until the test release has been uploaded successfully.

Once this is done, you can proceed to set up fileservers and lastly rss sources. The web interface will guide you through the process.

Notes

ATUS relies on predb.ovh (GitHub) to determine if a release is a scene release or not.

Known Issues

• ATUS will never delete releases and related files on its own even if you delete them from the fileserver / tracker.
  An api endpoint to delete releases is planned but currently not possible due to the way atus-tracker-api's authentication is implemented.

• If you delete a release from the fileserver while its downloading, it will be stuck in the "Downloading" state forever and ATUS will keep spamming the fileserver with status requests. To fix this, manually delete the release from ATUS through the web interface.

• If you stop a source, ATUS will still process previously received releases from that source. This makes it look like the source is still running even though it's not.

Common Errors

• meta file xxx is not processed
  This usually means that ATUS is already processing another release and can't process the new one until the other one is finished. Just waiting a few minutes should fix this. If this happens frequently, your server might not have enough resources to process all releases in time.
  In some cases, this error can also occur if the fileserver is unreachable, the file was deleted or your webserver has no read access to the file.

• This torrent is for registered users only or similar errors while adding a source rss feed
  The tracker requires authentication. If the tracker offers a way to costimize the rss feed, make sure to select something like "direkt download". If the tracker doesn't offer this, you can add the trackers cookies during the rss feed setup. You can find the cookies in your browser's developer tools.
