bitmagnet
Self-hosted BitTorrent indexer, DHT crawler, and search engine
bitmagnet is a self-hosted BitTorrent indexer, DHT crawler, content classifier and torrent search engine. It crawls the DHT network to discover info hashes, retrieves their metadata, and enriches it by classifying content and associating it with known works such as movies and TV shows, drawing on sources including The Movie Database. Because it operates independently of external trackers and torrent indexers, it functions as a self-contained indexing and search system.
Implemented capabilities include a DHT crawler and protocol implementation, a generic BitTorrent indexer with an import endpoint for ingesting torrents from any source, a customizable content classifier that identifies attributes such as language, resolution and source, a torrent search engine, a GraphQL API with an embedded playground, a responsive multilingual Angular web interface, a Torznab-compatible endpoint for Servarr stack integration, and a WebUI dashboard for monitoring and administration. Planned features include authentication, API keys, access levels, saved searches with custom feeds, and bi-directional Prowlarr integration.
The software is currently in alpha, with bugs and API and database schema changes expected before a 1.0 release.
