Setting Up Autodl

Setting Up Autodl on Nébulaura

autodl-irssi is a plugin for the console-based IRC client, irssi. It monitors IRC announce channels and downloads torrent files based on user-defined filters, making it a powerful automation tool for managing torrents.

Initial Setup

First, connect to your slot via SSH. If you need help connecting to the server, please refer to the relevant help article.

To install autodl, run the following command:

box install autodl

This command will configure autodl and install the associated ruTorrent plugin for a graphical interface.

How to Access

Autodl operates as a plugin for the console IRC client, irssi, and doesn’t have its own graphical user interface. There are two ways to configure and manage autodl:

  1. Using the ruTorrent Plugin: This is the only GUI option and integrates directly with ruTorrent.
  2. Manual Configuration: Edit the configuration file located at ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg.

To attach directly to the running irssi screen:

screen -r irssi

To detach again, press:

control-a, control-d

Service Management

As with all Nébulaura-configured applications, autodl can be managed using the following commands:

  • Status: Check the current status of autodl.
  • Start: Start the autodl service.
  • Stop: Stop the autodl service.
  • Restart: Restart the autodl service.
  • Enable: Configure autodl to start automatically at boot.
  • Disable: Prevent autodl from starting at boot.

Example:

box start autodl

Configuration

Using the ruTorrent Plugin

Configuration options for the ruTorrent plugin can be found under the header "Usage" in its interface. This allows you to add rules through a user-friendly GUI.

Manual Configuration

If you prefer manual configuration, you can edit the configuration file at:

~/.autodl/autodl.cfg

For detailed guidance on manual configuration, refer to the official autodl-irssi documentation.

Unlock the Power of Automation

With autodl-irssi, you can automate torrent downloads and streamline your media acquisition workflow. Whether you use the ruTorrent plugin or prefer manual configuration, autodl offers robust capabilities to suit your needs.
