Anyone using it ?

I'm considering it for a future system to sidestep the cloudflare bs with the *arr stack. I dont want to use flarsolverr as it just moves the problem to a different place. We can change urls for now and indexers but long term cloudflare is a problem.

I've been looking into local dht database to address this.

Im curious to hear your experiences with bitmagnet , magnetico or if you are doing something else.

Do you clean the db to certain media types or only have actively seeded content ?

I run one because why not. I've set it as No1 priority in Prowlarr, with the same requirements as any other indexer. BitMagnet is currently second for successful grab count.

I just set and forget it, reccomended compose. Bind mount the DB to a NVME and let it do its thing. It's at ~20m entries currently and isn't climbing much from there. Although it's No1 priority I consider it a back up so I don't give it too much attention if I'm honest.

can you guys share a link to a guide for this setup?

BitMagnet installation

Servarr integration

I'll add that I have BitMagnet, and Prowlarr under a Gluetun container.
