Whisparr

A frequently asked question we get from customers is if we have support for Whisparr. At the time of writing, we don't officially support it, but it can be installed using a script a community member has written.

Whisparr is an adult movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new movies and will interface with clients and indexers to grab, sort, and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of existing files in the library when a better quality format becomes available. Note that only one type of a given movie is supported. If you want both an 4k version and 1080p version of a given movie you will need multiple instances.

Installation

Before installation, please consider reading the installer script. You can read it on the GitHub Repo. You can run the script by using the following command:

bash <(curl -sL "https://github.com/brettpetch/hosted-scripts/raw/master/whisparr.sh")

:::tip If something goes wrong during your install, please consider checking the logs and the output in your console. You may find them by running the following:

less -r +G ~/.logs/whisparr.log

These can be helpful in cases where you need to see the output from installation. :::

On first run, go to http://<hostname.io>:<yourportnumber> to access Whisparr. This should ask you to setup some credentials. Keep in mind that this application is exposed on the public internet.
