## Description

AutoExtract is a Docker container, commonly run on Unraid, that scans a folder on a schedule and automatically extracts zip, rar, 7z and tar archives (including .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz, and nested archives, any number of levels deep) into the folder they are in. It handles multi-part sets such as .part1.rar, .r00, .z01 and .7z.001, and cleans up the processed archives and junk files like *.diz by deleting them, moving them to the Recycle Bin, or moving them to a trash folder, optionally setting permissions and ownership on everything it processed. It works one folder at a time with parallel extraction inside a folder, a live status page, and a settings page for every option. It was created entirely by AI (Claude) and, although tested, has not been verified in every situation, so do your own due diligence before relying on it with data you cannot replace or exposing it to the internet.
