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?

Have your torrent client not download malicious file types like .exe, doesn't solve the immediate problem but it helps in two ways.

First you don't help spread the nonsense.

Second qbit will mark the torrent as complete and sonarr will then flag it for manual import with the reason no valid files to import. They're easy and quick to spot and reroll that way.
