Anyone know what's going on with ShadowBG? (shadowbg-test.xav1erenc.workers.dev)

I'm not sure if it's common knowledge, but a 'shadow' RARBG search engine went up when the site went down.

https://shadowbg-test.xav1erenc.workers.dev/

As far as I could tell, it provided direct access to all of its original torrents and/or continually seeded torrents by other dedicated seeders (or sites).

But the search engine has suddenly become inaccessible. Anyone know why? Is there an alternative?

thanks

Make your own ! Disclaimer: you need to use docker

Acquire the database rarbg_db.zip - 393.8Mb, there's torrents
docker-compose.yaml...

shadowdb:
   image: "fullaxx/shadowbg"
   container_name: "shadowdb"
   ports:
     - ${SHADOWDB_PORT}:80
   restart: unless-stopped
   volumes:
     - ${DOCKERDIR}/shadowdb/rarbg_db.sqlite:/data/rarbg_db.sqlite

There is no 3, search and profit...

"Just download the db.zip" sounds kinda scammy. Just saying...

Eh, it's this com, if you know, you know, and due diligence is expected.

But to help, when they fell they dropped their db as a torrent. I passed the size as an indicator of a known (to me) good. Try or don't.

I'm trying to set this up but getting shadowdb exited with code 1.

Is this supposed to also make a front end accessible or something? Myip:80?

[-] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there's a frontend, replace ${SHADOWDB_PORT} with your desired port. Maybe restart in portainer, it's not the most robust, but it works.

I wish I would’ve known about this. 1337 isn’t nearly as good of a site. I’m thinking about getting something like Overseer just to not have to deal with torrent sites since RARBG went down

You still have to have indexers, so you need to deal with them indirectly, but the UI is sooo much nicer. Sonarr/Radarr are pretty easy too. If you know your way around docker you can get it up and running pretty quick.
