Self-hosted seedbox to homelab sync. Pulls finished downloads from your seedbox over SFTP, FTP or FTPS to local folders on a schedule, verifies them, and keeps a ledger so a file you delete locally is never downloaded again.

Common questions

Will a file I delete locally be downloaded again on the next run?

No. Each synced file is recorded in a ledger, local deletion is invisible, and rerunning a job does not re-download the same file.

How does Harvest avoid Sonarr, Radarr, or Plex seeing half-written files?

It uses a settle check to skip incomplete or growing files, stages files in a hidden directory, verifies them, and atomically renames them into the target folder.

How are interrupted or stalled downloads handled?

Killed or stalled downloads can resume where they left off, with progress checkpointed every 16 MB.

Can a torrent client trigger a Harvest job?

Yes. Harvest supports webhook-triggered runs using job-scoped API tokens with Bearer auth, with copy-paste curl snippets for qBittorrent, rTorrent, and Deluge.

How can the Harvest web UI be protected behind a reverse proxy?

It can use the built-in single-user login with scrypt-hashed passwords and CSRF-protected sessions, or set auth to none and rely on Origin and Host checks for reverse-proxy auth.
