🏴‍☠ Rofi Pirate

Rofi module for searching torrents using Jackett API. You can also instantly play media files without having to leave the Rofi menu. The project is still in beta.

Requirements

1. Streaming torrent client: Peerflix (to play media files without downloading it first)
2. qBittorent (optional)
3. Nerd Fonts

Setup process

1. First, you need a running instance of Jackett and install Peerflix

# Arch Linux users
yay -S jackett-bin
systemctl start jackett.service # then go to http://localhost:9117/
# Or Docker image
docker pull linuxserver/jackett
# Peerflix install
npm install -g peerflix

2. Set up your indexers through the dashboard and also obtain an API key from there.

3. Install rofi-python package.

pip install rofi-pirate

4. Place the configuration file under ~/.config/rofi_pirate/config.json. Don't forget to specify your API key.

Config example:

{
  "JACKETT_ENDPOINT": "http://127.0.0.1:9117",
  "JACKETT_APIKEY": "<API_KEY>", 
  "SEARCH_LIMIT": 25,
  "PEERFLIX_CMD": "peerflix -t -k -a",
  "PEERFLIX_CACHE": "~/Downloads/Torrents",
  "HISTORY_CACHE": "~/.config/rofi_pirate/history.db",
}

• Dynamic indexer configuration.
• Ability to preview torrent images (movie/music covers).
