Unraid |
To install in Unraid, the easiest setup will be to use the
Community Applications
app. Once the app is installed, go to the App tab and search for
cross-seed. Click on the "Install" button. This will take you to the template configuration.
Cross-seed needs to access 3 directories: an input directory with torrent files, an output directory for cross-seed to save new torrent files, and a config directory.
| Config Type | Name | Container Path | Host Path | Access Mode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Path | Config | /config | /mnt/user/appdata/cross-seed | Read/Write |
| Path | Input | /torrents | /path/to/torrent/client/session/dir | Read Only |
| Path | Output | /output | /path/to/torrent/client/watch/dir | Read/Write |
Cross-seed can listen for HTTP requests for when a torrent finishes downloading or you receive an announce.

If you don't need to use these features from outside of Docker, then you can skip this step.

Below is a screenshot of what your docker container configuration might look like. Now, you can try starting the docker container and editing the resulting configuration file in the next step.
You can start the container to create the config file path.
After the container has been created, we need to add a configuration file. Open a terminal in Unraid and issue the following commands:
cd /mnt/user/appdata/cross-seed
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cross-seed/cross-seed/master/src/config.template.docker.cjs -o config.template.docker.js
cp config.template.docker.js config.js
From here, you can edit the configuration to your liking through either nano or whatever method you use to edit your files.
Start your container and check the logs. You should see something along the lines of:
Configuration file already exists.
info: Validating your configuration...
info: Your configuration is valid!
info: [server] Server is running on port 2468, ^C to stop.
If you would like to schedule a periodic scan, you can do this with the "User Scripts" plugin for Unraid.
Go to the "Apps" tab and search for "user scripts" by Squid. Click on "Install" to install the plugin.
Now, go to the "Settings" tab. Under "User Utilities", find and click on "User Scripts".
On the bottom of the page, click on the "ADD NEW SCRIPT" button. Name the script to whatever suits your fancy.
On the new script, click on the gear icon and then click on "Edit Script".
In the text box, paste the following code:
#!/bin/bash
docker exec -i cross-seed cross-seed search
Click on "SAVE CHANGES". You can add a schedule by selecting an option in the dropdown. Click "APPLY" on the bottom of the page.
