# qBit Management
This is a program used to manage your qBittorrent instance such as:
* Tag torrents based on tracker URL (only tag torrents that have no tags)
* Update categories based on save directory
* Remove unregistered torrents (delete data & torrent if it is not being cross-seeded, otherwise it will just remove the torrent)
* Automatically add [cross-seed](https://github.com/mmgoodnow/cross-seed) torrents in paused state (used in conjunction with the [cross-seed](https://github.com/mmgoodnow/cross-seed) script) <-- cross-seed now allows for torrent injections directly to qBit.
* Recheck paused torrents sorted by lowest size and resume if completed
* Remove orphaned files from your root directory that are not referenced by qBittorrent
* Tag any torrents that have no hard links and allows optional cleanup to delete these torrents and contents based on maximum ratio and/or time seeded
* RecycleBin function to move files into a RecycleBin folder instead of deleting the data directly when deleting a torrent
* Built-in scheduler to run the script every x minutes. (Can use `--run` command to run without the scheduler)
## Installation
Check out the [wiki](https://github.com/StuffAnThings/qbit_manage/wiki) for installation help
## Usage
To run the script in an interactive terminal run:
* copy the `config.yml.sample` file to `config.yml`
* add your qBittorrent host, user and pass. If you are not using a username and password you can remove the `user` and `pass` lines.
* add your `cross_seed` and `root_dir`. If you're running cross-seed in a docker container you must fill out `remote_dir` as well.
* Add your categories and save path to match with what is being used in your qBittorrent instance. I suggest using the full path when defining `save_path`
* Add the `tag` definition based on tracker URL
* Modify the `nohardlinks` by specifying your completed movies/series category to match with qBittorrent. Please ensure the `root_dir` and/or `remote_dir` is added in the `directory` section
* `root_dir` needs to be defined in order to use the RecycleBin function. If optional `empty_after_x_days` is not defined then it will never empty the RecycleBin. Setting it to 0 will empty the RecycleBin immediately.
* To run the script in an interactive terminal with a list of possible commands run:
```bash
python qbit_manage.py -h
```
## Commands
| Shell Command | Description | Default Value |
| :------------ | :------------ | :------------ |
| `-r` or`--run` | Run without the scheduler. Script will exit after completion. | False |
| `-sch` or `--schedule` | Schedule to run every x minutes. (Default set to 30) | 30 |
| `-c CONFIG` or `--config-file CONFIG` | This is used if you want to use a different name for your config.yml. `Example: tv.yml` | config.yml |
| `-lf LOGFILE,` or `--log-file LOGFILE,` | This is used if you want to use a different name for your log file. `Example: tv.log` | activity.log |
| `-cs` or `--cross-seed` | Use this after running [cross-seed script](https://github.com/mmgoodnow/cross-seed) to add torrents from the cross-seed output folder to qBittorrent | False |
| `-re` or `--recheck` | Recheck paused torrents sorted by lowest size. Resume if Completed. | False |
| `-cu` or `--cat-update` | Use this if you would like to update your categories. | False |
| `-tu` or `--tag-update` | Use this if you would like to update your tags. (Only adds tags to untagged torrents) | False |
| `-ru` or `--rem-unregistered` | Use this if you would like to remove unregistered torrents. (It will the delete data & torrent if it is not being cross-seeded, otherwise it will just remove the torrent without deleting data) | False |
| `-ro` or `--rem-orphaned` | Use this if you would like to remove orphaned files from your `root_dir` directory that are not referenced by any torrents. It will scan your `root_dir` directory and compare it with what is in qBittorrent. Any data not referenced in qBittorrent will be moved into `/data/torrents/orphaned_data` folder for you to review/delete. | False |
| `-tnhl` or `--tag-nohardlinks` | Use this to tag any torrents that do not have any hard links associated with any of the files. This is useful for those that use Sonarr/Radarr that hard links your media files with the torrents for seeding. When files get upgraded they no longer become linked with your media therefore will be tagged with a new tag noHL. You can then safely delete/remove these torrents to free up any extra space that is not being used by your media folder. | False |
| `-sr` or `--skip-recycle` | Use this to skip emptying the Reycle Bin folder (`/root_dir/.RecycleBin`). | False |
| `-dr` or `--dry-run` | If you would like to see what is gonna happen but not actually move/delete or tag/categorize anything. | False |
| `-ll` or `--log-level LOGLEVEL` | Change the ouput log level. | INFO |
