downloads.vpn.config_file = path to a WireGuard .conf read directly by the
daemon (skips the web fetch). Lets you point unarr at your own WireGuard
server / personal VPN and split-tunnel torrent traffic through it without
the web provisioning plumbing — for testing and self-hosted setups.
In-process userspace WireGuard tunnel (wireguard-go + gVisor netstack) for
the managed-VPN add-on. No root, no OS routing changes: only the embedded
anacrolix/torrent client's peer + tracker traffic is routed through the
tunnel, so the swarm and trackers see the VPN IP, not the user's home IP.
unarr's control plane (API, heartbeats) keeps using the normal net.
- internal/vpn: FetchConfig (GET /api/internal/agent/vpn-config, Bearer auth,
typed errors for disabled/not_provisioned/slot_on_device) + Up (parse .conf
→ uapi, CreateNetTUN, device Up) + DialContext/ListenPacket adapters.
- engine/torrent.go: when a tunnel is set, wire TrackerDialContext +
HTTPDialContext + TrackerListenPacket to netstack, DisableUTP, and
AddDialer(NetworkDialer{tcp, netstack}) for peer conns.
- config: downloads.vpn.enabled flag.
- daemon: bring up the tunnel before the torrent client; non-fatal on
failure (logs + downloads in the clear); slot_on_device warns the user.
- version bump 0.8.1 → 0.9.0.
Pairs with the web VPN add-on (dormant behind NEXT_PUBLIC_VPN_ENABLED).
Runtime-verified once a VPNResellers trial provides a live endpoint.
Phase 3 security audit follow-up. Medium and low-severity hardenings
plus a deferred-work plan for the cross-repo stream-token rollout.
Stream server CORS: replace the wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin
with an allowlist that echoes back only torrentclaw.com,
app.torrentclaw.com, the local Next dev port (3030 — matches the web
repo package.json) and any extras the operator adds via the new
downloads.cors_extra_origins TOML key. A Vary: Origin header is now
emitted whenever the request carries an Origin header so an
intermediate cache cannot serve a stale ACAO to a different origin.
URL scheme guard: openBrowser and OpenPlayer refuse any URL that is
not http(s). Combined with passing the URL after "--" wherever the
launched helper supports it (open, mpv, vlc, cvlc), this stops a
leading "-" from being parsed as a switch by the spawned process.
State file permissions: WriteState now writes 0o600 so the agent ID,
PID and counters cannot be enumerated by another local user on a
shared host. Matches the existing config file mode.
ZIP slip defense-in-depth: extractZip extracts the safety check into
safeZipPath, which canonicalises the entry name (normalising
backslashes to "/"), rejects "..", "../" prefix and "/../" interior
components, and verifies the final destination stays inside destDir
before opening any file.
Mirror fallback: documented the design for multi-provider
mirrors.json hosting in the comment block on DefaultStaticFallbackURLs
and added a follow-up note about signing it with the same ed25519
release key. The list is kept at one provider until the second host
is provisioned and added to torrentclaw-web's STATIC_FALLBACKS.
Deferred work: a new plan document Docs/plans/security-stream-token.md
covers the per-task stream token (Phase 2.2 of the original audit)
which requires coordinated web + CLI work and ships separately.
Phase 2 security audit follow-up. Three independent hardenings against
the unauthenticated daemon surface, the long-lived agent SSE stream
and the self-update channel.
UPnP is now opt-in. The stream port + /hls endpoints have no auth, so
publishing them on the WAN via the gateway was a default that exposed
active downloads to anyone scanning the operator's external IP. New
config downloads.enable_upnp (default false) gates the mapping; LAN
and Tailscale clients continue to work unchanged. A startup log makes
the new default visible.
The agent SSE reader now uses a bounded bufio.Scanner instead of an
unbounded ReadString. A hostile or buggy server can no longer grow
daemon memory by streaming a single line forever or by emitting
unbounded data: continuation lines — both are capped at 256 KiB and
1 MiB respectively, and an error is surfaced so SignalLoop reconnects.
Self-update now verifies an ed25519 signature over checksums.txt when
the binary was built with a release public key embedded (injected via
goreleaser ldflags from RELEASE_SIGNING_PUBKEY). The companion
scripts/sign-checksums runs in the release workflow when both the
public-key variable and the private-key secret are present, uploading
checksums.txt.sig next to the existing checksums file. Builds without
the embedded key continue to update with SHA256-only verification; a
--allow-unsigned flag is provided so users on a signed build can
still install pre-signing releases or recover from an accidental
unsigned release.
A new scripts/gen-release-key helper documents the one-time keypair
generation procedure required before flipping signing on.
- Mirror pool with health tracking and exponential backoff for failed hosts
- Agent client routes requests through mirror pool with retry semantics
- New `unarr mirrors` command to inspect mirror state and force failover
- `unarr status` now detects 401 from /agent/register and suggests `unarr login`
instead of the generic "Could not fetch account info" message
- Config supports multiple ScanPaths for upcoming multi-path library scan
- Draft plan for bidirectional library sync (CLI ↔ Web) under Docs/plans/
Three related fixes around 4K-source transcoding that left the web
player stuck on "preparing session" with no useful diagnostics:
1. Dynamic -level:v derived from output height (hls.go, transcoder.go).
The previous fixed "4.0" silently rejected anything taller than 1080p
inside libx264 — "frame MB size > level limit", "DPB size > level
limit" — and emitted unplayable segments. Helper H264LevelForHeight()
now picks 4.0 / 5.0 / 5.1 / 6.0 from the actual encode height.
2. New `unarr probe-hwaccel` diagnostic command. Lists the HW encoders
compiled into ffmpeg, the device files / drivers present, and the
backend the daemon would actually pick today. Surfaces the canonical
gotcha: a host with an RTX 3090 + nvidia-smi but a Homebrew ffmpeg
built without --enable-nvenc still falls back to libx264 software.
3. Register payload now includes hwAccel + maxTranscodeHeight so the web
side can suggest a smaller alternate quality before the user even
tries to play a 4K source on a software-only host. Software-only =
1080p cap, any HW backend = 2160p cap.
OnWebRTCSession gated cfg.Download.WebRTC.Enabled before the
transport=="hls" branch, so HLS sessions were rejected even though
they only need ffmpeg + StreamServer (no WebRTC peer).
Reorder: path validation first, then HLS branch, then WebRTC.Enabled
gate (only for DataChannel transport). HLS now works without enabling
[downloads.webrtc].
Reliability hardening pass for the HLS daemon. None of these change the
public API, all reduce the chances of an end-user seeing a broken
session in production.
- engine/hls.go waitFFmpeg now supervises ffmpeg: on a non-graceful
exit while the session is still in use, restart from the last good
segment up to 3 times within a 60 s window. Beyond that we give up
and log the file as broken — better than a perpetually black player
with no error.
- engine/hls.go CleanupHLSOrphanDirs() removes tmpdirs older than 1 h
at startup; cmd/daemon.go calls it before streamSrv.Listen so a
daemon crash + restart doesn't leak gigabytes of segment files.
- engine/hls.go StartHLSSession wraps ffprobe in a 15 s timeout. A
hung probe on a slow remote fs would otherwise block the goroutine
forever and the player would stay on "Preparando sesion".
- engine/hls.go hlsStderrCapture buffer is capped at 64 KiB; a
misbehaving ffmpeg that emits megabytes without newlines used to
grow daemon memory unbounded.
Follow-ups on the daemon HLS pipeline (0fc0e1c):
- engine/hls.go HLSSession.Register now closes every other active
session in the registry. Modeled as "one viewer == one transcode" so
repeated quality switches or page reloads don't leave orphan ffmpegs
saturating the CPU until the idle sweeper reaps them 30 min later.
- engine/hls.go restartFromSegment kills + respawns ffmpeg with
-ss / -output_ts_offset / -start_number when the browser asks for a
segment far ahead of the writer head. Segments already on disk stay
cached. Without this, a user dragging the scrubber to minute 30 of a
fresh stream blocks until the encoder reaches minute 30 in real time.
- engine/hls.go subtitle disambiguation: never set DEFAULT=YES on any
rendition (anime forced "signs only" tracks were autoselected and
rendered nothing during opening dialogue, looking broken). Names get
numeric suffixes when language is duplicated; FORCED tracks get a
"(forzados)" suffix.
- engine/hls.go ProbeInfo() exposes codec / audio / subtitle metadata
to the new GET /hls/<id>/probe.json endpoint for the player's info
badge + bandwidth logic.
- engine/hls.go scale chain fix: chains a trunc(iw/2)*2 scale after
the height cap so libx264 stops rejecting odd widths (853x480 etc.).
- engine/hls.go HW encoder tuning: NVENC -preset p4 -rc vbr -tune hq,
QSV -preset medium.
- engine/stream_server.go routes /hls/<id>/probe.json to the session.
- cmd/daemon.go runs an idle sweeper goroutine every 5 min, reaping
sessions whose last segment fetch was >30 min ago.
Introduces an HLS-over-HTTP path as Plan B for in-browser streaming. The
WebRTC + MSE pipeline keeps working untouched; the new path is selected
when the backend sets transport="hls" on a streaming session.
Daemon scope:
- engine/hls.go: HLSSession + HLSSessionRegistry. Spawns ffmpeg with
-f hls -hls_segment_type fmp4 + force_key_frames aligned with 4 s
segments. Pre-renders master + media playlists from the probe duration
so the browser knows the total timeline before any segment exists,
fixing seek/duration/pause/multi-track issues seen with the live fMP4
pipe.
- engine/probe.go: enumerate every audio + subtitle track instead of
collapsing to a single default audio track.
- engine/stream_server.go: route /hls/<id>/{master.m3u8,video/...,
subs/...} to the matching session. Emit a synthesised single-VTT
subtitle playlist per text track; bitmap subs (PGS/DVB) skip silently.
- cmd/daemon.go: branch on WebRTCSession.Transport == "hls" to register
an HLS session instead of running the legacy DataChannel pump.
- agent/types.go: WebRTCSession.Transport + AudioIndex fields.
Backend + web sides land in a follow-up commit.
Adds WebRTCSession.Quality to the sync payload so the daemon can pick a
MaxHeight + bitrate per session instead of using the global config cap.
resolveQualityCap() maps the label to a (height, b:v) pair and
buildStreamSource() promotes a passthrough decision to ActionTranscodeVideo
when the source resolution exceeds the cap (4K source on a phone client
with quality="720p" must transcode, not pass-through).
Also lands the transcode-on-by-default fix for legacy configs without a
[downloads.transcode] section so existing installs pick up h264+aac
fallback for HEVC/AC3 content without re-running setup.
Source files in HEVC, AV1, AC3, DTS, EAC3, etc. now transcode through ffmpeg
to fragmented MP4 (h264 + aac) on-the-fly when the browser would otherwise
play silent black. Decision matrix lives in engine.DecideAction:
passthrough → remux → audio-transcode → full video-transcode.
Architecture — temp file + growing-size source:
- engine.streamSource interface abstracts byte source. Two impls:
* diskFileSource: passthrough when codecs are already browser-friendly.
* transcodeSource: spawns ffmpeg writing to a /tmp/tc-stream-*.mp4 file.
A ticker polls file size and wakes blocked ReadAt callers as ffmpeg
produces output. Estimate of final size (bitrate × duration) is
announced over the wire so the browser's scrubber has something to
anchor on.
- dataChannelPump now reads from streamSource instead of *os.File. HELLO
carries Transcoding=true + an estimated total size; Seekable=true (we
read random-access from the temp file even while writing).
- Transcoder runtime resolved per session by buildTranscodeRuntime in
cmd/daemon: ffmpeg/ffprobe path lookup + HWAccel auto-detection
(NVENC/QSV/VAAPI/VideoToolbox).
- New [downloads.transcode] TOML section: enabled (default true), hw_accel
(auto), preset (veryfast), video_bitrate (5M), audio_bitrate (192k),
max_height (optional downscale), max_concurrent (safety cap).
Falls back to passthrough if ffprobe is missing, fails, or codecs are
already browser-friendly. tmp file is cleaned up on session shutdown.
Closes the agent half of in-browser playback for arbitrary files. When
the web app inserts a download_task with mode="seed_file", the daemon
now wraps the on-disk file as a single-file torrent, adds it to the
existing WebRTC-enabled torrent client, and reports the generated
info_hash back so the browser can target /stream/<hash>.
Pieces:
- internal/agent/types.go: Task.FilePath (received from claim) +
StatusUpdate.InfoHash (sent back). Both serialise compatibly with
the matching Zod schemas in the Next.js sync route.
- internal/engine/seed_file.go: SeedFile(client, filePath, trackers)
builds the metainfo via metainfo.Info.BuildFromFilePath +
bencode.Marshal, then AddTorrent + DownloadAll() so anacrolix
hashes the file and flips pieces to "have" as it goes. The
libtorrent piece-size ladder is mirrored from wstracker-probe so
generated torrents are interoperable with mainstream clients.
SeedFileOnDownloader is the daemon-facing convenience wrapper —
bails loud when [downloads.webrtc].enabled = false instead of
silently producing a torrent no browser can find.
- internal/cmd/seed_file_handler.go: handleSeedFileTask invoked from
the existing OnTasksClaimed dispatcher in daemon.go for mode=
seed_file. Validates filePath, calls the engine helper, and pushes
the resulting info_hash via Client.ReportStatus. Failures (missing
file, WebRTC disabled, ffmpeg-style oddities) report status="failed"
+ errorMessage so the browser's WatchInBrowserButton can show the
reason instead of timing out at 60 s.
- internal/cmd/daemon.go: dispatcher learns the seed_file branch in
the same shape as the existing stream branch.
Tests (6 unit, all green):
- SeedFile rejects missing files + directories.
- SeedFile yields a deterministic info_hash for the same payload across
fresh clients (web client polls expecting this).
- SeedFileOnDownloader errors when WebRTC is disabled.
- chooseSeedPieceLength matches the ladder breakpoints.
- makeAnnounceList handles nil/empty/partial inputs.
Web side compatible: mode=seed_file is already accepted by the sync
schema; agent.Task.filePath + StatusUpdate.infoHash now propagate
through the existing claim/report endpoints. End-to-end browser ↔
unarr smoke is the next concrete verification step (needs a running
unarr-dev daemon plus library scan + a file with no source torrent).
Wires anacrolix/torrent's built-in webtorrent package so a browser
running webtorrent.js can fetch pieces from this CLI via WebRTC data
channels. The daemon stays the seeder; we never relay bytes through
TorrentClaw infrastructure — same legal posture as today.
Changes:
- internal/config: new [downloads.webrtc] section
(enabled/trackers/stun_servers/turn_servers/turn_user/turn_pass).
Disabled by default, opt-in via config.toml. When enabled but
trackers / STUN slices are empty, defaults are reapplied on Load() so
users get a working setup with a single `enabled = true`.
- internal/engine: TorrentConfig gains WebRTCEnabled / WebRTCTrackers
/ ICEServers; NewTorrentDownloader populates ClientConfig.ICEServerList
and forces NoUpload=false when WebRTC is on (browsers can't pull
otherwise). buildMagnet now accepts variadic extra trackers and the
downloader method prepends WSS trackers so anacrolix's
webtorrent.TrackerClient picks them up first.
- internal/engine/webrtc.go: BuildICEServers helper converts the TOML
WebRTCConfig into []webrtc.ICEServer with shared TURN credentials.
- internal/cmd/daemon.go + download.go: pass WebRTC config through to
the engine.
Tests (8 new, all green; full suite 0 lint issues, 0 vet):
- buildMagnet free function: defaults-only, with extras, trim+empty-skip
- downloader method: WebRTC disabled keeps WSS out, enabled prepends them
- BuildICEServers: nil when disabled, STUN-only path, TURN+credentials
- NewTorrentDownloader: full WebRTC-enabled construction (logs WebRTC
peer enabled, magnet contains wss://tracker.torrentclaw.com)
End-to-end smoke (browser ↔ unarr peer transfer) is deferred to a
manual test once tracker.torrentclaw.com WSS is live.
ResolveScanPaths() collects downloads.dir, organize.movies_dir,
organize.tv_shows_dir, and library.scan_path (if set), then removes
paths that are subdirectories of a parent already in the list.
This ensures the daemon and CLI scan all configured dirs without
relying solely on scan_path being set.
- task.go: fix deadlock in ToStatusUpdate() — calling Percent() (which
RLocks) while already holding RLock caused deadlock when a writer was
waiting; compute percent inline instead
- usenet.go: fix data race in Cancel() — tracker and taskDir were read
without the mutex while Download() writes them under it; read all
fields under the same lock
- upnp.go: fix UPnP Remove() blocking shutdown — run cleanup in goroutine
with 10s deadline (removeNATPMP worst case is 3s dial + 5s deadline)
- daemon.go: add path traversal protection for stream requests — validate
sr.FilePath is within configured directories before os.Stat; defends
against compromised API server sending arbitrary paths
- client.go: add wakeClient without timeout for long-poll wake endpoint
where context controls cancellation
- sync.go: trigger immediate sync when entering watching mode so stream
requests are picked up without waiting for the next scheduled interval
Replace the WebSocket + Cloudflare Durable Object architecture with a
single POST /sync endpoint. The CLI now operates autonomously with local
state (tasks.json) and syncs bidirectionally via adaptive-interval HTTP
polling (3s watching, 60s idle).
- Remove transport_ws, transport_hybrid, transport_http (~2,600 lines)
- Add SyncClient with adaptive interval loop
- Add LocalState for CLI-side task persistence
- Add TaskStateFromUpdate() helper (DRY)
- Extract finalize() to deduplicate processTask/processTaskRetry
- Consolidate shortID() into agent.ShortID (was in 3 packages)
- Wire GetActiveCount so `unarr status` shows active tasks
- Remove poll_interval, heartbeat_interval, ws_url from config
- Simplify ProgressReporter (sync replaces direct HTTP reporting)
- Register WatchReporter cancel funcs in streamRegistry so they get
cancelled when switching to a different stream (prevents goroutine leak)
- Re-notify streamReady when the server is already serving the requested
task (handles duplicate stream requests from the web UI)
- Rewrite tests for byte-based tracking semantics, remove dead
parseRangeStart tests
Track the highest byte offset served by the stream server to estimate
playback progress (0-100%). A WatchReporter goroutine sends progress
to POST /api/internal/agent/watch-progress every 10s during streaming.
- Add maxByteOffset + totalFileSize to StreamServer for Range tracking
- Add FileSize() to fileProvider interface (all 3 providers)
- New WatchReporter: periodic progress reporter tied to daemon context
- New WatchProgressUpdate type with optional progress/position/duration
- Wire reporter into all 3 stream paths (task stream, disk stream, active download stream)
- Auto-scan: daemon scans library daily (configurable via config.toml)
[library] auto_scan = true, scan_interval = "24h"
- Force start: tasks with forceStart=true bypass concurrency semaphore
(like Transmission's Force Start — opens temporary extra slot)
- Stall timeout default: 30m instead of unlimited, prevents dead torrents
from permanently blocking download slots
- ForceStart field in agent.Task for CLI/server communication
- Expand default trackers from 5 to 31 (synced with web tracker-list.ts)
- Add DHT node persistence between sessions (~/.local/share/unarr/dht-nodes.txt)
Saves known nodes on shutdown, restores on startup for warm DHT bootstrap
- Make metadata_timeout and stall_timeout configurable in config.toml
Default: 0 (unlimited, like qBittorrent) — users can set custom values
- Fix CleanTitle to handle web domains and format patterns (e.g. pctfenix.com)
- Add daemon state persistence and stale resume file cleanup
- Add TriggerPoll for WebSocket resume actions
- Improve stream server with graceful shutdown and connection tracking
- Add desktop notifications for download completion
- Add media file organization with Movies/TV Shows detection
- Improve usenet downloader with progress tracking and resume support
- Add self-update package with GitHub release verification
- Downgrade tablewriter to v0.0.5 (v1.x API breaking change)
Complete usenet download support for unarr CLI:
- NZB XML parser with password extraction from <head> meta
- yEnc decoder with CRC32 verification
- NNTP client with TLS, auth, and connection pool (up to 10 conns)
- Segment downloader with parallel workers and progress reporting
- Post-processing: par2 verify/repair, unrar/7z extraction with password support
- Agent client methods: SearchNzbs, DownloadNzb, GetUsenetCredentials
- UsenetDownloader implementing full Downloader interface
- Daemon wiring: UsenetDownloader passed to Manager
E2E tested: Oppenheimer 1080p (2.94 GB) downloaded via NNTP in 77.6s.
DebridDownloader receives directUrl from the server and downloads via
plain HTTPS with progress reporting, resume (Range), and pause/cancel.
- Add DirectURL, DirectFileName to agent Task and engine Task types
- Implement DebridDownloader: HTTPS download with progress, resume, cancel
- HTTP client with 30s ResponseHeaderTimeout
- Safe shortID helper to prevent slice panic on short IDs
- Validate 416 against Content-Range server size for resume integrity
- Register debridDl in daemon and one-shot download command
- Tests: available, download, resume, cancel, pause, fallback filename,
expired URL (410), unauthorized (401), shutdown, task propagation
