Its own README frames the project as a modern replacement influenced by trackarr, autodl-irssi and FlexGet. The public GitHub repository was created on 2021-08-11, and by 2026 it was still releasing frequently, with v1.81.0 published on 2026-06-28. The docs and README emphasize a web UI, Go backend, React frontend, container support, SQLite/PostgreSQL storage, and integrations with torrent clients, Usenet clients, notifications, and the *arr ecosystem. ### Adoptionsgeschichte autobrr adoption is visible in seedbox and home-server distribution channels rather than only in source-code metrics. The official README and Linux docs list installation paths for Swizzin, Saltbox, QuickBox, shared seedbox providers, Docker, Windows, macOS and generic Linux, while the input package facts show packaging in Homebrew, apk and nix. The project's GitHub metadata showed thousands of stars and hundreds of forks in June 2026, which fits its role as a widely recognized tool in the private-tracker and media-automation niche. ### Wie es verwendet wird A typical autobrr setup creates a config directory, runs the daemon, opens the web UI, then configures indexers, IRC channels, filters and actions. On Linux the official docs use ~/.config/autobrr and systemd; on macOS the docs show Homebrew and /opt/homebrew/var/autobrr as the service config directory. The key usage pattern is event-driven release handling: autobrr listens to IRC announce channels or feeds, applies filters, then forwards matching torrents or NZBs to qBittorrent, Deluge, rTorrent, Transmission, SABnzbd, Sonarr, Radarr and related services. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren For package users, autobrr is interesting because it packages a web service, CLI companion, config file, database and service integration into the same formula/package. It is not a single fire-and-forget CLI: the package has to land in a sensible service layout and preserve state. It also documents the cultural shift from older IRC bots and Perl-era tracker automation toward a self-hosted Go binary with a browser UI, Docker images and package-manager installs. ### Zeitleiste - 2020: Development begins, according to the official introduction. - 2021: Rapid development begins in summer; the GitHub repository is created on 2021-08-11. - 2026: v1.81.0 is published on GitHub releases on 2026-06-28. ### Related projects - autobrr names trackarr, autodl-irssi and FlexGet as inspirations. - The docs position autobrr alongside Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Whisparr, qBittorrent, Deluge, rTorrent, Transmission, SABnzbd, Torznab, Newznab and Prowlarr. ### Quellen - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger-Risiko:** orange / mittel - formula declares a Homebrew service ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
