A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi! In the last few months, the amount of fake torrents I'm getting automatically added to my downloads is starting to be really annoying. I want to find out which source is the culprit to remove it...How can I find what was the source of the added torrent? Where did it get it? What line do I need to look for in the logs? Or what event?

What this person said for the grab event to find where it came from and sonarr also has a new setting per indexer to fail unsafe downloads, the only drawback is you have to let your downloader download the file in the first place.

The alternative is blocking the files with your download client by extension and then manual intervention.
