What does real-debrid do? (lemmy.world)

I was looking through the megathread and saw this real-debrid thing. I have heard this name some times so I read what it does but wasn't able to understand it. If someone could explain it to me I would appreciate it.

Also, it caught my attention that "it's a good way to prevent your IP from ever hitting the torrent's swarm, which is the main cause of receiving copyright infringement letters". Does this mean it's an alternative to a VPN when torrenting? Is it like a seedboxes or something? Are there any free alternatives?

The GitHub explains it great but in summary you mount your Real Debrid (or other Debrid service) account to your machine via rclone, so anything you’ve downloaded on Debrid is available on plex.

Then there’s a script that watches the plex watchlist for new requests and then scrapes torrents to get it. (similar to stremio): If it’s cached (already available on real Debrid) then you can watch it instantly. Which is majority popular content. More niche stuff it may have to request Debrid to download and try again later

Then refreshes plex to scan the library for the download.

Even works outside of plex with things like overseerr, jellyseerr, trakt to monitor requests. Also can use Trakt to manage your library. Even Support for other scrapers like jackett and torrentio and you can set it to refresh your jellyfin library if you aren’t using plex.

As a nob, the setup steps look do able, but I think I need to get jellyseerr first and then this.

I may need to run my server on a PC to get VPN connection... Hmm... Thanks👍

Yeah I have my whole server running on an old gaming pc. I use cloudflare to open up my network instead of ports. Then my unifi gateway opens up my vpn for things I don’t want to open up via cloudflare

Did you follow any guides for cloudfare? I would like to achieve this as well.

[–] fraydabson@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No specific guide I can remember but it was very simple. Cloudflare has some good docs too if you get stuck.

  1. Need to have a domain. Doesn’t need to be through cloudflare (I use namecheap)
  2. Need to setup a free account on cloudflare and follow the steps on there to point your domain to their DNS.
  3. Then from your cloudflare dashboard you can open up the zero trust dashboard. From here you can create a tunnel and it gives you steps to setup cloudflared on your server/machine.
  4. Once the tunnel is setup you just need to setup each subdomain on the tunnel. Like rss.donain.com points to 192.168.1.224:5555 for example. Now when you go to rss.domain.com it will load up the page running on at 192.168.1.224:5555. SSL certificate and everything.
  5. Optional step to also setup an “application” on zero trust dashboard for each of your services. This lets you pick an email or ip range or something and only that is allowed into the domain.

I think that’s everything but feel free to message me if you have questions.

Thank you so much. I've got it working now and was rather simple!
