# nyaa-crawler

A dockerized torrent crawler and downloader for [Nyaa.si](https://nyaa.si). Track anime shows, poll for new episodes via RSS, and automatically download `.torrent` files to a host-mounted directory.

## Features

- Search Nyaa.si and add shows to a watch list
- Automatic polling for new episodes (configurable interval, default 15 min)
- Auto-downloads `.torrent` files to a mapped host directory
- Track episode status: pending, auto-downloaded, or manually marked
- Bulk-mark episodes as already downloaded
- Minimal dark-themed web UI
- SQLite persistence — easy to back up and migrate
- Unraid-friendly Docker container

## Stack

- **Backend**: Node.js + TypeScript + Express
- **Frontend**: React + Vite
- **Database**: SQLite (`better-sqlite3`)
- **Scheduler**: `node-cron`
- **Nyaa integration**: RSS via `fast-xml-parser`

## Quick Start (Docker)

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

Open `http://localhost:8082` in your browser.

## Quick Start (Development)

```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```

- Client dev server: `http://localhost:5173` (proxies `/api` to `:3000`)
- API server: `http://localhost:3000`

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PORT` | `3000` | HTTP port |
| `POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS` | `900` | Polling frequency (min 60) |
| `TORRENT_OUTPUT_DIR` | `./data/torrents` | Where `.torrent` files are saved |
| `DATABASE_PATH` | `./data/db.sqlite` | SQLite database path |

## Unraid Deployment

```yaml
services:
  nyaa-watcher:
    image: your-registry/nyaa-watcher:latest
    container_name: nyaa-watcher
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - PORT=3000
      - POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS=900
      - TORRENT_OUTPUT_DIR=/data/torrents
      - DATABASE_PATH=/data/db.sqlite
    volumes:
      - /mnt/user/appdata/nyaa-watcher:/data
      - /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/nyaa:/data/torrents
    ports:
      - "8082:3000"
```

## Notes

- Only `.torrent` files are downloaded — media is handled by your existing torrent client watching the output directory.
- Batch releases (titles containing "Batch", "Complete", "Vol.", or episode ranges) are automatically skipped.
- Removing a show marks it inactive (no further polling) but preserves episode history.
