Sync files from your seedbox to your local media server — fast, automated, and integrated with Sonarr and Radarr.

Quick Start

services:
  seedsyncarr:
    image: ghcr.io/thejuran/seedsyncarr:latest
    container_name: seedsyncarr
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8800:8800"
    volumes:
      - ~/.seedsyncarr:/root/.seedsyncarr
      - /path/to/downloads:/downloads

Features

• LFTP-based transfers — built on LFTP for maximum transfer speed with parallel connections and segmented downloads
• Web UI — monitor and control all transfers from a clean, responsive dashboard
• Auto-extraction — automatically extract archives after sync completes
• AutoQueue — pattern-based file selection syncs only the files you want
• Sonarr and Radarr integration — webhook-driven import notifications for seamless media library updates
• Local and remote file management — browse, delete, and manage files on both ends from the UI
• Docker packaging — available as Docker images for amd64 and arm64
• Dark mode — full dark theme with earthy palette designed for always-on displays

How It Works

SeedSyncarr runs on your local server and connects to your remote seedbox over SSH. The LFTP sync engine continuously transfers new files to your local machine. When a transfer completes, SeedSyncarr can automatically extract archives and notify Sonarr or Radarr via webhooks to trigger media library imports.

You don't need to install anything on the remote server — just SSH credentials.

Installation

Docker (recommended)

Pull and run with Docker Compose (see Quick Start above), or run directly:

docker run -d \
  --name seedsyncarr \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 8800:8800 \
  -v ~/.seedsyncarr:/root/.seedsyncarr \
  -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads \
  ghcr.io/thejuran/seedsyncarr:latest

For detailed setup instructions, see the documentation.

Configuration

After starting SeedSyncarr, open http://localhost:8800 in your browser.

Key configuration areas in Settings:

• Remote Server — SSH host, port, username, and path to sync from
• Local Path — where files are downloaded to on your local machine
• Sonarr / Radarr — webhook URLs and API keys for automated media imports
• AutoQueue — define patterns to automatically queue matching files for sync

Usage Examples

Sync only TV shows and movies using AutoQueue patterns

In Settings, enable AutoQueue and turn on "Restrict to patterns". Add glob patterns to match only the directories you want synced automatically:

TV Shows/*
Movies/*

Any new file on the remote server whose path matches a pattern is queued for sync without manual intervention. Files that do not match are left on the remote server untouched.

Trigger a Sonarr import after a completed download

In Settings, enable Sonarr and enter your Sonarr URL and API key. SeedSyncarr displays a webhook URL in the form:

http://<seedsyncarr-address>:8800/server/webhook/sonarr

Add this URL as a webhook in Sonarr (Settings > Connect > Webhook) with the "On Import" event selected. When SeedSyncarr finishes transferring a file that Sonarr is tracking, Sonarr receives the webhook and imports the episode into your library automatically. The same pattern applies to Radarr using the /server/webhook/radarr endpoint.

Automatically clean up after import

Enable Post-Import Pruning in Settings. Once Sonarr or Radarr confirms an import, SeedSyncarr waits for the configured safety delay (default: 60 seconds) and then deletes the local copy from the downloads directory. Enable dry-run mode first to verify which files would be removed before committing to automatic deletion.
