Project Minato

Introduction

Minato is a self-hosted torrent indexer with full-text search, a Torznab-compatible feed, and a plugin-based scraper system.

Minato is a self-hosted torrent indexer. Scrapers pull torrents from external sources into a searchable library. Browse them in the web UI, pipe them into Sonarr or Radarr via the Torznab feed, or subscribe to new content via RSS.

How it works

Scrapers submit torrents to the ingestion API. A worker pipeline parses release titles, enriches them with metadata from TMDB and AniList, and indexes everything in Meilisearch. The result is a fast, filterable library of everything your scrapers have found.

Minato ships as a single Docker image. One container runs the API, background workers, and the web frontend. The only external services you need are PostgreSQL, Redis, and Meilisearch, all included in the default compose file.
