fetcharr

Fetcharr is a daemon running on your local fileserver to fetch data from a remote seedbox.

Features

🪆 A powerful wrapper around rsync (or any other command) to fetch data from remote systems
🔌 Multiple pluggable event notifiers that invoke sync process (Kafka, RabbitMQ, webhooks, time-based)
🪝 Support for defining multiple pre- and post-hooks
🔭 Observability through Prometheus metrics

Why would I need this?

🔨 You want to fetch data from a seedbox as soon as data has been downloaded successfully
📊 You want to get alerted on errors and look at dashboards rather than logs

Deployment Overview

Installation

Requirements

You need to have a seedbox / remote system that you can access via SSH. Authentication via ssh keys is required.
The remote system needs to have rsync installed
(If you want to use the example webhook script below, you also need to have curl installed. This should be the default on almost all distros.)

Docker / Podman

$ git clone https://github.com/soerenschneider/fetcharr
$ cd fetcharr
$ docker run -v $(pwd)/contrib:/config ghcr.io/soerenschneider/fetcharr -config /config/fetcharr.yaml

Binaries

Head over to the prebuilt binaries and download the correct binary for your system. Use the example systemd service file to run it at boot.

From Source

As a prerequesite, you need to have Golang SDK installed. After that, you can install fetcharr from source by invoking:

$ go install github.com/soerenschneider/fetcharr@latest
