NNTmux automatically scans usenet, similar to the way google search bots scan the internet. It does this by collecting usenet headers and temporarily storing them in a database until they can be collated into posts/releases. It provides a web-based front-end providing search, browse, and programmable (API) functionality. This project is a fork of the open source usenet indexer newznab plus: https://github.com/anth0/nnplus and open source nZEDb usenet indexer https://github.com/nZEDb/nZEDb NNTmux improves upon the original design, implementing several new features including: - Optional multi-threaded processing (header retrieval, release creation, post-processing etc) - Advanced search features (name, subject, category, post-date etc) - Intelligent local caching of metadata - Tmux (terminal session multiplexing) engine that provides thread, database and performance monitoring - Image and video samples - SABnzbd/NZBGet integration (web, API and pause/resume) - CouchPotato integration (web and API) ## Prerequisites System Administration know-how. NNTmux is not plug-n-play software. Installation and operation requires a moderate amount of administration experience. NNTmux is designed and developed with GNU/Linux operating systems. Certain features are not available on other platforms. A competent Windows administrator should be able to run NNTmux on a Windows OS. ### Hardware 16GB RAM, 4 cores(8 threads) and 80GB disk space minimum. If you wish to use more than 5 threads an eight core CPU is beneficial. The overall speed of NNTmux is largely governed by performance of the database. As many of the database tables should be held within system RAM as possible. See Database Section below. ### Software PHP 8.1+ (and various modules) MariaDB 10+ or MySQL 8+ (Postgres is not supported) The installation guides have more detailed software requirements. ### Database Most (if not all) distributions ship MySQL with a default configuration that will perform well on a Raspberry Pi. If you wish to store more that 500K releases, these default settings will quickly lead to poor performance. Expect this. As a general rule of thumb the database will need a minimum of 1-2G buffer RAM for every million releases you intend to store. That RAM should be assigned to this parameter: - innodb_buffer_pool_size Use [mysqltuner.pl](http://mysqltuner.pl "MySQL tuner - Use it!") for recommendations for these and other important tuner parameters. Also refer to the nZEDb project's wiki page: https://github.com/nZEDb/nZEDb/wiki/Database-tuning. This is particularly important before you start any large imports or backfills. ## Installation Follow NNTmux Ubuntu install guide: https://github.com/NNTmux/newznab-tmux/wiki/Ubuntu-Install-guide For composer install and getting NNTmux follow this guide: https://github.com/NNTmux/newznab-tmux/wiki/Installing-Composer ## Docker Run the docker init command ```bash ./cli/docker init ``` Copy .env.example -> .env, configure .env, mandatory fields: - DB_* - SPHINX_HOST=manticore - SPHINX_PORT=9306 - NNTP_* - ADMIN_* - APP_TZ - APP_KEY=base64:wbvPP9pBOwifnwu84BeKAVzmwM4TLvcVFowLcPAi6nA= # or generate one!!! - REDIS_HOST=redis - REDIS_PASSWORD=null - REDIS_PORT=6379 Copy docker-compose.override.yml.dist to docker-compose.override.yml and remove any services that you don't want to run locally. Make any other adjustments to suit your needs. Copy over localized configuration from docker/php-overrides.ini to docker/php-overrides.local.ini and any other adjustments you'd like to make. Copy your composer's auth.json file (can probably be found in ~/.composer/auth.json) to docker/composer-auth.json. Run the installation script ```bash docker-compose run --rm web docker/install.sh ``` For routing, you can use a proxy container like [nginx-proxy](https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy). The default configuration is to route the indexer to nntmux.local. You'll also need to add the following to your `/etc/hosts` file: ``` 127.0.0.1 nntmux.local ``` Now, you can start the web container: ```bash docker-compose up -d web # Tail the logs starting with the most recent 15 lines. Look for errors and resolve any issues. docker-compose logs --tail=15 --follow web ``` Open http://nntmux.local and sign in as the admin user with the credentials configured in the .env file. Configure site and tmux settings. Start the tmux container: ``` docker-compose up -d tmux # Attach to tmux ./cli/docker tmux-attach ``` There are other commands available in cli/docker (i.e. to stop the tmux session -- you should do this before stopping the tmux container!). ### Support Support is given on irc.synirc.net #tmux channel. ### Licenses NNTmux is GPL v3.
