Welcome to the zurg wiki!

This wiki is for a tool called zurg, a self-hosted Real-Debrid webdav server written from scratch, alternative to rclone_rd

How to run zurg in 5 steps

1. Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/debridmediamanager/zurg-testing.git
2. Add your token in config.yml
3. sudo mkdir -p /mnt/zurg
4. Run docker compose up -d
5. time ls -1R /mnt/zurg You're done!

The server is also exposed to your localhost via port 9999. You can point Infuse or any webdav clients to it.

Note: I have only tested this in Mac and Linux

Why zurg? Why not rclone_rd? Why not Real-Debrid's own webdav?

• Better performance than anything out there; changes in your library appear instantly (assuming Plex picks it up fast enough)
• You should be able to access every file even if the torrent names are the same so if you have a lot of these, you might notice that zurg will have more files compared to others (e.g. 2 torrents named "Simpsons" but have different seasons, zurg merges all contents in that directory)
• You can configure a flexible directory structure in config.yml; you can select individual torrents that should appear on a directory by the ID you see in DMM
• If you've ever experienced Plex scanner being stuck on a file and thereby freezing Plex completely, it should not happen anymore because zurg does a comprehensive check if a torrent is dead or not

config.yml

You need a config.yml created before you can use zurg

# Zurg configuration version
zurg: v1

token: YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
port: 9999
concurrent_workers: 10 # the higher the number the faster zurg runs through your library but too high and you will get rate limited
check_for_changes_every_secs: 15 # zurg polls real-debrid for changes in your library
info_cache_time_hours: 12 # how long do we want to check if a torrent is still alive or dead? 12 to 24 hours is good enough

# zurg can repair broken links, but it doesn't mean it will appear on the same location (especially if there's only 1 episode missing)
# e.g. i was missing e06 of Better.Call.Saul.S03.2160p.NF.WEBRip.DD5.1.x264-ViSUM
# after zurg re-added the file, it appeared on a different directory:
# Better.Call.Saul.S03E06.2160p.NF.WEBRip.DD5.1.x264-ViSUM.mkv
enable_repair: false # BEWARE! THERE CAN ONLY BE 1 INSTANCE OF ZURG THAT SHOULD REPAIR YOUR TORRENTS

# List of directory definitions and their filtering rules
directories:
  # Configuration for TV shows
  shows:
    group: media # directories on different groups have duplicates of the same torrent
    filters:
      - regex: /season[\s\.]?\d/i          # Capture torrent names with the term 'season' in any case
      - regex: /saison[\s\.]?\d/i          # For non-English namings
      - regex: /stagione[\s\.]?\d/i        # if there's french, there should be italian too
      - regex: /s\d\d/i           # Capture common season notations like S01, S02, etc.
      - regex: /\btv/i            # anything that has TV in it is a TV show, right?
      - contains: complete
      - contains: seasons

  # Configuration for movies
  movies:
    group: media # because movies and shows are in the same group, and shows come first before movies, all torrents that doesn't fall into shows will fall into movies
    filters:
      - regex: /.*/ # you cannot leave a directory without filters because it will not have any torrents in it

  "ALL MY STUFFS":
    group: all           # notice the group now is "all", which means it will have all the torrents of shows+movies combined because this directory is alone in this group
    filters:
      - regex: /.*/

  "Kids":
    group: kids
    filters:
      - not_contains: xxx       # Ensures adult content is excluded
      - id: XFPQ5UCMUVAEG       # Specific inclusion by torrent ID
      - id: VDRPYNRPQHEXC
      - id: YELNX3XR5XJQM
