Is anyone using anything to pull down files from a Seedbox to their NAS? What solutions?

No need for a Docker. Just use screen and SSH with rsync.

 

You can get fancy and do dry runs before you run the real command to check what you're about to do but this will copy all files in one dir to another via an encrypted SSH session.

 

e.g.

 

rsync -avz -e ssh [email protected]:/location/of/remote/dir /mnt/user/unraid/share/where/you/want/to/store/stuff

I am wanting to do this. But I cannot figure out a couple of things.

 

Say I manually obtain torrents from private trackers. In unRAID I have:

    /mnt/user/downloads/

              /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/watch/

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/watch/movies

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/watch/tv

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/watch/music

 

So if I am getting a movie I save it to the proper folder above.

 

I can setup an rsync that wil take the entire folder /watch and sync to the equivalent on the seedbox. The seed box will find it, apply proper label, download, and copy completed to a specified folder on the seedbox. I do the copy because I need to keep seeding to maintain proper ratios.

 

I can then do a separate rsync process to get the completed download to the appropiate folder in unRAID.... something like:

              /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/complete/

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/complete/movies

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/complete/tv

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/complete/music     

 

I can have my Autoprocess from Sonarr/Sickrage and Couchpotato monitor those folders and to put the file in the right place on my media share.

 

Ideally I would like to try to automate the rsync processes (via crontab). But what happens after the files get processed locally and moved away from the /downloads/complete folder on the next rsync??? The files are still in the seedbox's /complete folder. They will get re-synched back to the now empty local /complete folder.

 

This is begging for a nice turnkey solution as originally posted by benflux. I assume one will need scripts on the seedbox to delete after rsync, etc.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

btw. The seedbox I subscribe to uses ruTorrent.
